Finds the gap, the rest breach and the unplanned overtime before the rota is published
Whoever builds the rota is solving four constraints at once in a spreadsheet: enough people per shift, everyone qualified for what they are doing, legal rest between shifts, and a wage bill that fits. They pull against each other, so the builder optimises the one they will be shouted at for — usually coverage — and the rest fail quietly.
The quiet failures are specific. Rest breached by a late finish followed by an early start, invisible because each shift alone is fine. A shift with nobody holding a certification it legally requires. Overtime nobody planned, which appears in the payroll run three weeks later. Consecutive-day limits crossed at the boundary between two published rotas, because each was checked alone.
And the same three people carrying every awkward shift — a retention problem the rota creates and nobody measures.
This agent checks a draft against all of it and reports what is wrong before anyone is told their hours. It assigns nobody: a published rota is a commitment to people's lives, and the constraints that decide who can work when are not all in the data.
When a rota can still change without breaking promises.
Priced in the draft rather than in the payroll run.
Which is a retention finding as much as a fairness one.
Rest and consecutive-day limits break at the join between two published rotas, because each was checked alone.
A shift with nobody holding the certification it legally requires. Legal before it is operational.
Rather than discovering it in the payroll run three weeks later.
The same three people. A retention problem the rota creates, and nobody measures it.
Where coverage, legality and budget genuinely cannot all be met, it says so instead of picking one.
The constraints on who can work when are not all in the data. A rota is a commitment to people's lives.
Why Operations in particular. Rest and consecutive-day limits break at the join between two published rotas, because each rota was checked alone and each shift looks fine on its own.
Runs unattended
Started by you or by an event, and it finishes on its own. Nothing waits for someone to be at a desk.
The same standard every time
The two-hundredth item is held to the bar the first one was. Consistency is the part people cannot sustain.
It cannot act on its own
Shift Coverage Analyst has no path to sending, spending or committing. That limit is why its output is safe to act on.
This agent runs server-side through the PROMIVO runtime. Each run is logged step by step and every tool call is permission-checked before it executes.
Read-only by design. This agent has no path to sending, spending, publishing or committing anything. Where that limit is the product, removing it would remove the reason to trust the output.

No. It checks a draft. Who can work when depends on childcare, study, health and agreements that are not in any rota system, and a tool that assigns people would get those wrong confidently.
No. It checks against the rules you configure — your rest periods, your consecutive-day limits, your qualification requirements — and reports breaches of those. Which rules apply to you is a question for your own adviser.
It says so plainly and shows the trade-off rather than silently choosing. That conflict is real information for whoever has to decide.
