Every tool call passes through a policy check before it runs. The check matches the call against your rules and decides: allow, ask, or block.

Default posture

Two postures depending on whether the write targets an app, repo, or storage (with a known scope) or the computer’s raw filesystem. Out of the box, Kazzle ships with sensible defaults so the AI works immediately.

Writes to apps, repos, and storage are allowed by default because their paths are scoped to a known root. Raw computer writes are allowed except for the sensitive path patterns above.

Rule types

Terminal commands

Rules match by command prefix. git push matches git push origin main. Default exceptions that require approval: git push and sudo. Default block: git push --force.

Browser URLs

Browser navigation is allowed by default on all URLs. Add custom rules on the browser url field to restrict or require approval for specific sites.

File paths

Rules match by glob pattern. *.pem matches certificate files anywhere. Default blocks on computer writes: .env*, .ssh/*, *.pem, *.key. File path rules can be scoped to a specific computer. A rule with “All computers” applies everywhere. A rule scoped to one computer only applies when the AI is working on that machine. Computer-specific rules take priority over global ones.

Tool approvals

Individual tools and actions can be set to allow, ask, or block. By default, fs delete, app publish, app delete, and db delete ask for approval. Database queries (db exec) ask for risky SQL and allow low-risk statements automatically.

Safety changes

Changes to policies or limits themselves always require one-off approval and can never be permanently auto-approved. Viewing policies and limits does not require approval.

How rules resolve

When the AI calls a tool, the router finds all matching rules and picks the most specific one - rules with more matching conditions beat broader rules. If two rules match with equal specificity, deny wins over allow. User-defined rules (from Settings) override defaults with the same pattern.

Configuring

Open Settings > AI safety to manage rules per space. Add patterns, change policies, scope file paths to specific computers. Changes take effect immediately.
