## Floated for later, no dates

- **More detailed permissions.** Sierra lists action-level limits as a possible extension. Draft 0.1 defines poppy:read and poppy:write, and allows companies to add narrower scopes.
- **Push notifications.** The company tells the personal agent the moment a flight is delayed or an order ships.
- **Payment extensions.** The agent completes a purchase without the customer sharing card details.
