Definition
Autonomous decision context refers to the data, inputs, and operational signals that influence automated decisions. This context can include system state, prompts, policies, or historical data.
Why It Matters
Without context, automated actions can appear arbitrary. Understanding the decision context helps explain why a system behaved in a certain way and whether that behavior aligned with policy.
Example
An access automation workflow grants temporary permissions based on user role, time of day, ticket priority, and recent activity history.
