safety

This template can take an action with consequences.

Safety rails on Action templates lead with guardrails. Before anything happens, every guard below is in force: a dry-run preview, a confirm-gate, a rate limit, an audit log, and idempotency so a retry never double-acts.

  • Confirm-gate before any state change
  • Price cap
  • Dry-run
  • Idempotency
