What generate_voice does on Hermoso
AI agents use generate_voice to create or update resources in Hermoso, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Hermoso environment.

generate_voice stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Hermoso, apply this rule, and every generate_voice call is checked against it from then on.
