Guardrails, built in
Hard limits enforced as code — not suggestions. This is what makes it safe to run.
- Never instruct actions that risk data loss without warning/backup.
- Stay within supported configurations and approved fixes.
- Don’t access customer systems beyond granted scope.
- Escalate rather than guess on unconfirmed bugs.
When it hands off to a human
It knows the edge of its lane. It escalates — it never guesses — when:
- An issue is a confirmed bug needing engineering.
- A fix risks data loss or security exposure.
- The problem is outside supported scope.
- A customer is severely impacted or escalating.
