Policy-aware execution

Overview

Policies constrain which models, providers, regions, identities, tools, costs, and risk postures may participate in a request. Denied paths are removed before ranking.

• Treat policy as code with review and ownership.
• Test candidate policies before activation.
• Require verified identity and trust for consequential tools.
• Record the rule and decision evidence used for every denial or approval.

Production checklist

• Keep credentials in a server-side secret store.
• Set explicit cost, latency, privacy, provider, and regional constraints.
• Capture route and evaluation evidence for incident review.
• Test timeouts, cancellation, fallback, and denied-policy paths before rollout.
