- Its example policy blocks rds.instance.delete when no backup has occurred in the previous 24 hours.
Field notes
The sample YAML names an agent, lists allowed tool actions, and sets an eight-hour policy expiry. Its chain rule ties a destructive database action to whether a backup was made in the previous 24 hours. A separate example trace breaks a check into identity verification, loading recent actions, risk evaluation, and a verdict. The page says the service can be managed or deployed inside a customer's cloud.
