Your assistant access and stop check
Use ongoing assistant permissions (opens in a new tab). This check belongs to the whole job, not just its prompt.
| Responsibility | Suitable starting input/access | Keep separate |
|---|---|---|
| Prepare one brief | Supplied fictional calendar/messages | Inbox or calendar connection |
| Discover new approved routine messages | Reading only where scope is suitable | Sending, deleting and forwarding |
| Suggest meeting times | Approved calendar reading | Event creation and invitations |
| Run at an agreed time | An actual saved supported task | Unrequested recurring work |
Before granting access: inspect the actual account, data scope and action rights. Choose less access when it fully supports the task. If the provider bundles unsuitable rights, use a manual source excerpt.
Before relying on it: record the task entry, timezone, source connection, next run, completion record and stop method. Check one harmless result. Closing an app or muting an alert is not proof the task stopped; inspect its saved task and any delegated/scheduled work using the product's current controls.
If it fails: preserve the exact symptom, identify a content/source/access/usage issue, choose one supported correction and verify in the source app. Do not let repeated attempts expand the approved scope.
