Working browser surface: Tools — overview — Inspect the tool contract, usage, boundaries, and proposed qualification checks. This route is local-only; provider, credential, database, customer, publication, deployment, and production effects remain held.

Hazards and failure states

  • Cataloging may be mistaken for implementation, connection, deployment, or qualification.
  • A supplied directory status may be mistaken for proof that this tool is connected or authorized.
  • Incomplete or contradictory evidence may lead to unsupported claims if records are not held.
  • Self-review could compromise independence.
  • Draft grant or website material could be published without a separate authorization gate.
  • Exact-slug mismatch could associate evidence with the wrong instrument.
  • Changes to another agent's source could exceed authority.
  • Credential, funding, and publication decisions may be improperly delegated to the catalog.

Claims potentially allowed after source review

  • The proposed tool is bounded to cataloging, qualification support, evidence reconciliation, and review routing.
  • Tilly is the supplied owner agent and is associated with Pointguard and independent reviewer responsibilities.
  • The supplied source record lists the related jobs and field guides.
  • The tool should preserve contradictions, prevent self-approval, and keep drafts separate from public claims.
  • The listed compatible instruments are proposal-only mappings based on exact supplied slugs.

Claims held

  • The implementation exists or is deployed.
  • The tool is connected to any instrument or provider.
  • Any cataloged instrument is qualified beyond the supplied directory status.
  • The tool can make final publication decisions.
  • The tool can commit funding, grant awards, credential access, or source changes.
  • Any customer use, current metric, operational effect, or production reliability.
  • Any public claim derived from a draft, grant dossier, or review packet without a separate authorization record.

Source gates and never-rules

The source record provides 4 principal gates and 3 never-rules. This page does not infer or add to those counts.

  • Final publication
  • Funding commitments
  • Credential access
  • Changes to another agent's source
  • Approve her own evidence
  • Hide a contradiction
  • Turn a draft into a public claim

Sources and evidence

These pointers bind the page to evidence. They do not grant authority or collapse verification into deployment.
