Designing policy-as-code for autonomous agents

Governance only works if platform teams will actually maintain it. That meant making policy feel like code, not a compliance chore.

Sprawling YAML drifts from reality fast. We wanted policies that are versioned, reviewable in a pull request, and type-checked before they ship.

A typed policy layer

Capsule policies are declared in code: cost ceilings, allowed and denied tools, approval thresholds, and routing rules — all validated at author time and enforced on every run.

Enforced everywhere

The same policy object governs local development, staging, and production, so what you reviewed is exactly what runs.
