Definition
Execution guardrails are security mechanisms that restrict automated systems from performing unsafe or unauthorized actions. These controls operate during execution.
Why It Matters
Guardrails at execution time provide live protection, especially in fast-moving environments where static permissions alone are not enough.
Example
A workflow is allowed to read incident data, but a runtime guardrail blocks it from deleting records during an active investigation.
