Comparison

HELM vs autonomous execution platforms

Execution tools help agents do work. HELM governs whether that work is allowed and records proof.

Autonomous execution tools

Where it helps

Planning, task routing, tool use, and multi-step work.

Boundary

Where it stops

Doing work is not the same as proving the authority to do it.

HELM

What changes

HELM sits at the side-effect boundary and turns allowed work into signed evidence.

If the agent acts, can the company prove the approved policy path that allowed it?
