Set company rules every agent must follow

Every workspace now has one set of company rules that applies to every agent and every task. Task Machine provides a fixed safety baseline, and workspace owners can add rules for how their own company works. We built it because company rules written into each agent's instructions drift apart as you add agents.

The Task Machine baseline covers honesty, privacy, security, human authority, and responsible use. It is visible to everyone in the workspace and cannot be removed or weakened.

Your workspace rules can add requirements such as using primary sources in customer-facing research, asking before making a financial commitment, or disclosing when an agent contacts someone outside the company.

Review rules before they affect real work

A proposed rule is reviewed before it becomes active. Rules that add a clear company boundary can be confirmed and saved. A rule that conflicts with the Task Machine baseline is rejected, while an uncertain review asks you to revise and submit it again.

Agents receive the approved rules whenever they work. Workflow checks can flag output that conflicts with them, and an agent that cannot continue safely returns the conflict to the Inbox for a human decision.

These checks help agents follow written policy, but they do not replace the hard controls around permissions, budgets, saved credentials, and human approvals.
