Limitations

Key limitations: Outbound email can damage sender reputation; use review, test addresses, and unsubscribe safeguards. Outbound messages, SMS, email deliverability, consent, unsubscribe behavior, private chats, and customer-facing replies need approval, throttling, and audit logs. API automation needs client-side throttling, idempotency where supported, pagination limits, retries, and audit logging. Account setup or elevated access may require vendor, admin, or compliance approval before an agent can operate independently.
