# AI Autonomy

> Control what Ankra's AI may do on its own - the global pause, the auto-remediation policy, approval rules, and proactive insight thresholds.

The **Autonomy** section under **AI** → **Settings** → **Autonomy** is the single place where organisation admins decide how much Ankra's AI does without a human in the loop. Everything on this page is organisation-wide.

<Info>
  Autonomy is opt-in. A new organisation starts with auto-remediation disabled and no active agents - nothing runs autonomously until an admin turns it on here.

## Global Pause

The pause control at the top of the page is the emergency brake: one action disables the auto-remediation policy and pauses every active AI agent. Resuming restores exactly what the pause switched off - it never enables anything that was off before the pause.

The pause record is tracked in the browser that paused, so resume from the same machine where possible.

## Auto-Remediation Policy

When enabled, the remediation agent can act on detected incidents. The policy controls its reach:

* **Autonomy level** - **Observe only** (report, never act), **Propose** (draft actions for approval), or **Autonomous** (low-risk reversible actions run on their own; the rest ask first).
* **Approvals** - approval requests go to a Slack webhook; you can name the users allowed to approve.
* **Limits** - a cap on actions per incident and a cooldown between incidents on the same resource.
* **Per-action rules** - override individual tools (for example `delete_pod` or `drain_node`) to **Run automatically**, **Ask first**, or **Never run**.
* **Cluster scope** - apply the policy to all clusters or an explicit allow-list.

Enabling the policy asks for confirmation and shows what the chosen level authorises before saving.

## Ticket Desk

The ticket desk auto-files board tickets from proactive insights. Pick which severities create tickets and where ticket notifications go (a Slack channel or Teams conversation). See the [AI Board](/platform/ai-board) for how filed tickets are worked.

## Proactive Insight Thresholds

Tune when the platform flags cluster health issues - the restart-count threshold and how recent restarts must be to count. Leave a field empty to use the platform default. The **Proactive AI insights** toggle in the same section turns the analysis on or off entirely; see [AI Insights](/platform/ai-insights).

## Permissions

Everything on this page requires organisation **admin**. Members can view the current policy but not change it.
