Comparison

HELM vs agent version control

Agent version control tracks changes to agents. HELM governs the effects those agents request.

Agent version control

Where it helps

Prompt, config, eval, model, and workflow history.

Boundary

Where it stops

Version history does not decide whether a live side effect should execute.

HELM

What changes

HELM uses source state as evidence, then requires a verdict and receipt for action.

Does the record show only what changed, or also what was authorized to happen?
