Built-in risk assessment and governance for AI-assisted and agentic workflows. Keep humans in control of high-impact changes.
Risk assessment
Automatic risk scoring based on blast radius, actor trust level, and security impact of changes.
Security detection
Automatically detects security-related commits via scope patterns and keywords. Flags auth, crypto, and vulnerability fixes.
Policy engine
Configurable policies with conditions and actions. Require human approval for breaking changes or high-risk releases.
Release memory
Historical tracking of releases, incidents, and actor behavior for continuous improvement of risk assessment.
