SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that agents only perform actions aligned with their designated operational posture (SCOUT, DEFENSE, OFFENSE), preventing unintended state changes or data modifications.

Core Features & Use Cases

Posture Enforcement: Automatically checks and enforces the active posture before any state-changing operation.
Action Blocking: Blocks or requires confirmation for operations based on the current posture.
Use Case: When an agent is in 'SCOUT' posture, this skill will prevent it from making any file modifications or API calls that alter external systems, ensuring read-only operations.

Quick Start

Use the posture-control skill to ensure that any file modification requests are blocked if the current posture is SCOUT.

FAQPage Schema

How do I enforce read-only agent behavior for safe execution?▼

To enforce read-only agent behavior, apply a SCOUT posture. This posture automatically checks and blocks any state-changing operations, file modifications, or API calls that alter external systems.

Can I require explicit confirmation for sensitive API calls during agent deployments?▼

Yes, you can require explicit confirmation for sensitive API calls and deployments by switching the agent to a DEFENSE posture. This posture intercepts state-changing operations and prompts for approval before execution.

What is agent posture control for transaction governance?▼

Agent posture control is a governance mechanism that enforces operational modes like SCOUT, DEFENSE, or OFFENSE on agent transactions. It prevents unintended state changes by constraining external-facing actions to the active mode.

How do I permit state-changing operations within mode constraints?▼

To permit state-changing operations within mode constraints, set the agent to an OFFENSE posture. This allows the agent to execute file modifications and API calls without blocking, provided the actions remain within the defined mode constraints.

Does posture control work without external dependencies?▼

Yes, posture control works without external dependencies. It operates as a standalone governance skill that intercepts and validates agent transactions and state-changing operations natively.
