Described are techniques for minimizing the performance of sets of actions in undesired situations. For example, a set of actions may be triggered based on a sensor detecting the presence of an individual, but the sensor may be faulty and trigger the set of actions to be performed based on false detections of an individual. A system may maintain a record of past executions of sets of actions. The system may analyze the past executions to determine a frequency with which a set of actions was executed, whether the past executions resulted in failed processing, etc. If the system determines, based on these determinations, that a set of actions should not be performed in the present instance, the system prevents the set of actions from being performed. The system may notify a user of such and provide the user with the ability to override the system's determination.
