How do we stop the assistant from inventing answers?
Ground it. Retrieval-augmented chat answers from your documentation and cites the document and passage behind every claim, and retrieval thresholds keep it from answering at all when nothing relevant exists, which is the honest failure mode.
Can it plug into our existing helpdesk?
Yes. LM-Kit One speaks OpenAI, Anthropic, and Ollama dialects plus MCP, so integrations built for those APIs point at your server by changing the base URL. Server-side agents bundle the prompt, knowledge, and tools so every channel gets the same behavior.
What stops it from taking actions it should not?
Permission policies. Every tool carries risk metadata and runs under allow, deny, and approval rules; sensitive actions can require human sign-off, and the audit trail records what was called and why.
What happens when it cannot resolve a case?
It escalates with context: the conversation, the retrieved sources, and the attempted steps travel with the handoff, so the human agent starts informed instead of starting over.
