§ 01The boundary

Security without the brakes.

Give AI access to the work — not unlimited authority.

The contract names which work runs alone and which comes back to a person, with the evidence and the reason. In the 30-day pilot, Contractual runs in shadow mode: for MCP calls, it records the tool names and statuses your tools report. An operator reviews that metadata and available evidence with you against the contract. It blocks nothing.

A login gets AI into the system. The operating rules decide what it is allowed to do there.

01

Data access

  • You name the systems AI works in.
  • You name the fields inside them.
  • Anything not on the list is off-limits.
  • You approve the list, version by version.

02

Action authority

  • You name the actions AI takes alone.
  • You name the actions that need a person.
  • Anything you did not grant is outside the contract.
  • A named person approves each version.

03

Verification

  • Fitting the contract is not proof the work finished.
  • Completion evidence is reviewed as its own question.
  • Anything unproven goes to a person.
  • Fit and finish stay separate.
§ 02The record

Every completed case produces a receipt: inputs · actions · tests · escalation reason.

For MCP calls, the record keeps the tool name and status only. An operator reviews that metadata and available evidence with you against the contract; it does not automatically classify each action or prove completion.

§ 03

Bound the agent. Keep the record.

The pilot is for engineering and platform teams with a tool-using agent already running. Tell us what it does and what it can touch.
