Policy establishes intent
Organizations use policy to define approved tools, prohibited data handling, required review, and accountability. That creates a shared standard, but the document itself does not observe an agent session.
Runtime behavior creates evidence
When an agent generates a command or invokes a tool, the actual action may be compared with applicable supported policy. A trace can connect the action, evaluation, decision, and outcome.
Enforcement must be precise
Not every policy statement can or should become a technical block. Enforceable rules need a defined action, scope, and outcome. Ambiguous guidance still requires human judgment.
Runtime security contributes, it does not complete governance
Governance also includes ownership, risk assessment, vendor review, data management, training, monitoring, and oversight. Runtime visibility and supported controls provide one layer within that program.
