Policy Controls.
Immutable boundaries for automation.
Define exactly what automation is allowed to do, under what conditions, and who must authorize it — written as strict, version-controlled policy rules.

In plain language
What this capability does.
Policy Controls turn governance decisions into explicit rules: what a workflow may do, which information it may use, when approval is required and what happens when a condition is not met.
- Make automation boundaries visible
- Apply consistent approval rules
- Change controls without rebuilding workflows
How it works
From input to accountable outcome.
The capability is designed as part of a governed workflow, with clear inputs, boundaries and ownership.
Evaluate
Check requests against current policy.
Gate
Allow, deny or route for approval.
Record
Keep the policy version, decision and outcome.
Controls
Safeguards built into delivery.

- Safe handling of missing context
- Time-bound exceptions
