Scenario Walkthroughs

Run governed and unguarded scenario agents from edictum-demo.

AI Assistance

Right page if: you want to run industry scenario demos (pharma, DevOps, fintech, customer support) with governed vs unguarded side-by-side comparison. Wrong page if: you need to write your own contracts for these industries -- see https://docs.edictum.ai/docs/contracts/patterns/ for reusable contract patterns. Gotcha: each scenario has two runners (governed and unguarded). The recommended validation loop is: run unguarded to capture unsafe behaviors, then observe mode for `CALL_WOULD_DENY`, then enforce mode for deterministic denials.

What to compare (governed vs unguarded)

  1. Sensitive reads/exports that are denied in governed mode.
  2. Whether high-risk operations require role or ticket context.
  3. How postcondition warnings/redactions change downstream behavior.
  4. Session limit denials when agents retry aggressively.

Suggested validation loop

  1. Run unguarded baseline and capture unsafe behaviors.
  2. Run governed mode in observe to collect CALL_WOULD_DENY.
  3. Switch to enforce and verify deterministic denials.
  4. Add scenario-specific regression tests in CI.
