Policies & safety

Policies define non-negotiable rules and boundaries that DelegateZero must follow. They always take precedence over confidence, precedents, and playbooks.

If a request conflicts with a policy, DelegateZero will escalate instead of guessing or partially complying.

Use policies to encode rules such as approval limits, forbidden actions, compliance requirements, or escalation conditions.

Hard stops are conditions under which DZ must never act automatically. When a hard stop is triggered, the request is escalated regardless of confidence.

Examples include irreversible actions, legal or financial risk, or missing required context, and these can be configured through policies.
