CloudThinker agents don’t just answer prompts — they monitor, analyze, and act on your infrastructure continuously. This page explains what runs autonomously and how the two autonomy modes keep every action under your control.

Why autonomous operations

  • Problems get caught early. Keepers scan connected accounts continuously, so drift surfaces in minutes instead of at month-end review.
  • Routine work runs itself. Scheduled tasks handle daily cost checks, weekly audits, and monthly reports without anyone remembering them.
  • Noise becomes signal. Pulse suppresses duplicate monitoring events and ranks what’s left, so on-call engineers see clusters worth acting on.
  • You set the risk boundary. Every write action follows your Manual or Auto setting — agents never gain permissions you didn’t grant.

The autonomy model

Every agent write action runs in exactly one of two modes: Read operations never require approval. You decide which writes wait for a person:
  • Approval sets per-tool permissions and approvers for your workspace.
  • Auto Mode adds an intent classifier that auto-approves writes matching your request and pauses anything outside it.
Start new keepers and scheduled tasks in Manual. Switch individual actions to Auto once you’ve reviewed a few runs and trust the pattern.

What runs autonomously

Three surfaces do work without a prompt from you. Each is documented on its own page — configure them there. Whichever surface triggers the work, the same rule applies: each write action either waits for approval or runs and reports, per your autonomy settings.

Stay informed

Every autonomous run is logged in your workspace, and notifications deliver findings, errors, and approval requests to Slack, Teams, or email. Review activity regularly and tighten or loosen autonomy as patterns emerge.

Approval

Configure per-tool permissions and approvers for agent actions

Auto Mode

Let a classifier auto-approve writes that match your intent

Tasks & Scheduling

Schedule agent prompts to run daily, weekly, or monthly

Keepers
