# Agent Safety Boundaries

## Purpose
Protect sensitive data, permissions, production actions, and high-impact decisions from unsafe agent behavior.

## What To Write
Agents must not:
- Store secrets, credentials, private keys, customer records, employee records, or regulated data.
- Infer access rights from page visibility.
- Execute production actions or approve deployments.
- Rewrite authoritative policy without approval.
- Publish drafts as approved guidance.
- Remove uncertainty, disagreement, or source caveats.

Define escalation contacts for security, privacy, legal, production, and governance boundaries.

## Owner And Review Cadence
- Owner role: Security and governance owners
- Review frequency: monthly and after incidents or policy changes
- Human review required for updates: true
- Mark this file `needs-review` if the owner is unknown, the review date is stale, or the content conflicts with a more authoritative page.

## How An LLM Should Use This File
Treat this as a stop-sign file. If the requested action touches a boundary, ask for explicit human approval or refuse the unsafe part.

## Update Prompt
When updating this file, preserve sources, note uncertainty, update the review date only after human review, and add related pages that a reader or agent should inspect next.

Why This File Exists

This is a LLM Wiki memory file from llmwikis.org. It is shown here because AIWikis.org is demonstrating the real source files that make the UAIX / LLM Wiki memory system work, not only summarizing those systems after the fact.

Role

This file belongs to the source-side wiki layer. It preserves a focused concept, source proxy, graph record, or operating rule so the public site can cite reviewed conclusions without flattening every reason into a single long page.

Structure

The file is structured around these visible headings: Agent Safety Boundaries; Purpose; What To Write; Owner And Review Cadence; How An LLM Should Use This File; Update Prompt. Those headings are retrieval anchors: a crawler or LLM can decide whether the file is relevant before reading every line.

Prompt-Size And Retrieval Benefit

Keeping this material in a separate file reduces prompt pressure because an agent can load this exact unit only when its role, source site, category, or hash is relevant. The surrounding index pages point to it, while this page preserves the full content for audit and exact recall.

How To Use It

• Humans should read the metadata first, then inspect the raw content when they need exact wording or provenance.
• LLMs and agents should use the source site, category, hash, headings, and related files to decide whether this file belongs in the active prompt.
• Crawlers should treat the AIWikis page as transparent evidence and follow the source URL/source reference for authority boundaries.
• Future maintainers should regenerate this page whenever the source hash changes, then review the explanation if the role or structure changed.

Update Requirements

When this source file changes, update the raw source layer, normalized source layer, hash history, this rendered page, generated explanation, source-file inventory, changed-files report, and any source-section index that links to it.
