Security & Trust

Your approval is part of the architecture.

Understand the safeguards, the evidence behind an output and the limits of the current release.

01 · Security & Trust

Agents recommend. People approve.

Lifecycle gates are human-only. High-impact decisions and evidence gaps escalate to the product owner. External actions need explicit approval.

  1. Inspect the recommendation
  2. Review dissent and hard vetoes
  3. Approve, reject or request more evidence

02 · Security & Trust

Permissions and budgets bound the work.

Server-side workspace checks and tool permissions constrain execution. Usage ceilings stop further billable steps. Review access and deployment configuration before handling sensitive material.

  1. Assign the minimum necessary capability
  2. Keep workspace ownership checks on the server
  3. Pause when permission or budget is exhausted

03 · Security & Trust

Inspect the claim, not just the label.

Records distinguish agent review, automatic tests, human review and external attestation. These are different forms of evidence.

  1. Show model or simulated generation mode
  2. Keep source references and test logs
  3. Do not imply certification or a security audit
