Autonomy

The Autonomy surface is the safety and supervision desk for background agent operation.

What It Covers

• emergency stops
• supervisor incidents
• run reflections
• guardian restore flows
• orchestrator visibility

Estops

SwarmClaw supports emergency-stop controls for autonomous operation.

Depending on configuration, operators can:

• inspect current estop state
• engage an estop
• request or approve resume flows
• restore from the latest guardian checkpoint after approval

Incidents and Reflections

The autonomy APIs expose:

• incidents: supervisor-detected runtime failures and notable safety events
• reflections: post-run reflection output for review and learning

This helps operators understand both failures and ongoing system behavior.

Orchestrator Visibility

Agents running in orchestrator mode appear in the Autonomy surface so operators can review:

• governance mode
• orchestrator mission
• wake behavior
• recent incident context

CLI Examples

swarmclaw autonomy estop
swarmclaw autonomy incidents --query limit=50
swarmclaw autonomy reflections --query limit=50
swarmclaw autonomy guardian-restore --data '{"approvalId":"<approvalId>"}'
