| LOOPSruns until doneyes | Docs: Workflows "follow a fixed, predefined path" but in Procedures "Fin evaluates the next best step in real time, can jump sections, revisit earlier steps, or switch Procedures entirely" — step count re-decided at runtime. |
| CHOOSESpicks its own toolsyes | Data connectors set to "Enabled (direct trigger)" are picked by Fin at runtime from their name/"when to use" description — no workflow wiring — and Procedures start on inferred intent with non-linear step order. |
| ACTSchanges the worldyes | Docs state Fin can "execute real-time actions like processing refunds, updating accounts, or modifying subscriptions in external systems" via Data connectors, and create/update tickets over MCP. |
| RECOVERSfixes its own errorsno | Intercom docs: Fin can't skip a failed connector step; you must add a Condition step to handle errors. |
| UNSUPERVISEDnobody watchingyes | Set live, Fin replies to real customers with no per-answer approval — Intercom's Automation Rate metric counts conversations "fully resolved by Fin, without a human teammate needing to step in". |
Capability decisions combine documented behaviour and execution evidence. The proof label on each row shows which of the two decided it, and Leash is reported separately, only when it was measured from an execution record. Primary source: www.intercom.com. Tested against: Fin AI Agent with Procedures (successor to Fin Tasks). Our confidence in this dossier: 6/10.
Can you see it work?
the weakest of the five grades aboveOPERATOR INSPECTABLE — You can run it and read the steps yourself — the record exists for whoever runs it. Trace access: OPERATOR-OWNED — Whoever runs it holds the record; nothing is published.
Inbox conversation events expose Fin's thoughts + data connector logs; richest on procedure runs

Badges
earned, never for sale
These render from the live dataset, so a badge cannot outlive the verdict it claims. If the verdict changes the badge changes with it, and an unearned one returns 409 rather than an image. No sponsor can buy one, at any price.
Think this is wrong?
bring evidence, not opinionName the criterion and link a trace, a doc, or a recorded run that shows the behaviour. A verdict changed by evidence is the best thing that can happen to this site, and the change goes on the public record with your reason attached. Vendors are welcome, and a vendor's own filing is labelled as such rather than buried.
