Glossary

Every term the product and this documentation use, in one list.

In alphabetical order. Where a term has an ordinary meaning and a Hawi meaning, the Hawi meaning is the one given.

Account: A person’s sign-in and billing identity. Holds credit balances and provider authorisations.
Agent: A named worker with a brief, a model, a tool list, a spending ceiling and a run history.
Automatic Purchasing: A separate workspace permission, enabled and acknowledged by the creator. Never inherited from an autonomy setting.
Board: The readable surface of a workspace, holding items in columns.
Brief: What an agent is for, written in sentences. This field shapes most of its behaviour.
Ceiling: The spending limit an agent works inside. A new agent’s ceiling is nothing.
Connection: An authorised link to one external system, held against an account and selected by a workspace.
Connector: The definition of how Hawi talks to one provider. Public listings are limited to the customer-connectable registry.
Cover: How long current stock will last at the rate it is selling, in whole days, rounded down.
Credit: The unit of metered work. Consumed by model calls, tool calls and voice minutes.
Entitlement: A capability a plan carries, resolved server-side from account entitlements and workspace membership.
Handoff: Moving an item to another owner, carrying the item, the evidence and the run history.
Item: One piece of work on a board, with a source, a status, an owner and a history.
Queue priority: How a plan’s runs are scheduled under load. Not a measure of model speed.
Registry key: A connector’s internal identifier. It may appear in traces and error messages, but does not by itself mean the connector is customer-connectable.
Run: One attempt by one agent at one item, recorded with inputs, tool calls, handoffs, cost and outcome.
Scope: In connections, the read and write access a connector grants. In the API, what a key may do.
Trace: The full record of a run. Continuous across handoffs.
Workspace: The operational boundary. Agents, boards, connections and members live inside one.
