Question 1
“What does the Data Agent need access to?”
Answer
Partly answered
The site says the Data Agent reads orders, usage, tickets and deals in the Smart CRM, only within the permissions you set, and that you pick the objects and fields it may use. It never says which data it needs to work, whether it reads anything outside the CRM, or what write access its suggested fixes require.
Add a data access requirements section to /products/data-agent
Who needs it: CTOs and IT or security reviewers checking a vendor (this visitor: Whirlpool Corporation)
What is missing
Which records and fields the Data Agent needs at minimum, and which are optional, are not listed.
Whether it reads only Smart CRM data or also connected systems such as warehouse, ERP or product usage is not stated.
What write access its suggested fixes need, beyond person-approved merges and missing values, is not explained.
Whether data the agent reads is sent outside Hourglass to process answers is not stated.
Where
New section on /products/data-agent, placed after "Answers with reasons. Lists your team can act on.".

Answer full page
The Data Agent works from the records your teams already keep in the Smart CRM, and it reads only the data your permissions allow. You decide what it can read and which actions need a person's approval, and you can review everything it does. This page shows how it works and how you set those limits.
