# Mental Model

### Mental model

1. **You describe an outcome** → `intent` (natural language).
2. **You attach guardrails** → `context`, `userId`, `selectedCustomerIntegrationIds`, `approvalStrategy`.
3. **The platform plans & executes** → builds a plan (text or JSON), calls tools from the allowed integrations, streams events via SSE, and returns a `result`.
