An isolated bounded component available for inspection

Guide 02 // Agent Preflight

ASK FIRST. DO NOT ACT YET.

Read-only preflight gives a coding or agent client a bounded way to inspect a proposed connection without turning that request into authority.

CAN

Check a declared connection

Identify whether the declared inputs and outputs fit, including missing information and corrective next actions.

CAN

Review a workflow draft

Return a bounded compatibility report, compare safe drafts or produce a human-reviewable starting point.

CANNOT

Cross an authority boundary

It cannot retrieve secrets, configure destinations, sign policy, queue work, execute work or make arbitrary network calls.

Why the distinction matters

An agent can receive a useful answer without ambient operational access. That reduces the pressure to turn exploratory prompts into live system changes.
