Model Routing by Liability
Projection: Routing decisions may incorporate legal exposure and insurance coverage alongside capability, cost, and latency, sending sensitive work to humans or appropriately bounded agents. Present evidence covers agent tooling and governance surfaces only. Documented liability rules influencing live routing would distinguish this mechanism from ordinary model selection.
Why this idea is here

The cited captures document agent tooling, permissions, memory, and evaluation. They do not establish Model Routing by Liability as a deployed mechanism. The adoption test is whether routing engines choose humans or agents using documented liability and coverage constraints.
