Using Jev confidence thresholds to gate agent actions by risk
The author shows Jev returning both an answer and a confidence score per call, with thresholds set by risk: 0.5 for read-only, 0.7 for refunds, 0.8 for escalation and 0.9 for destructive actions, with anything below 0.5 going to a human.
Your JEV agent knows the answer. It doesn't know whether it should act on it every call returns two things: the answer, and the confidence behind it. most setups only read the first one. confidence comes from the spread. same 4 options, one distribution concentrated at 0.91, one flat at 0.22. identical answer, completely different decision. the fix is a bar that rises with the stakes: read-only 0.5 → refund 0.7 → escalation 0.8 → destructive 0.9 below 0.5 the ticket goes to a human. no guessing. two traps most people miss. a noul of 0.5 means "as likely yes as no", not "medium". and a confident "done" doesn't prove the file was saved. confidence is not permission, check the outcome. pin the version. aliases move, and thresholds tuned on one version quietly break on the next. check out the full article on Jev below ↓ ↓
