Guardrails

Guardrails prevent agents from taking actions that exceed their defined boundaries.

max_replicas

Mandatory per agent. Blocks deployment if the replica count would exceed this value.

agents:
  - name: donna
    max_replicas: 2   # required — deployment blocked if exceeded

Phase 2 guardrails

• Rate limit on autonomous apply — max N apply operations per hour per agent
• Anomaly detection — detect aberrant plans (e.g. destroy all agents) before autonomous apply
• Budget max — block deployments that exceed a cost threshold
