Granted vs Reached
Two lists, two minutes: what you think your agent can do, and what it can actually reach.

Writing a rule down adopts it. A setting is what enforces it.
For owners who have written limits into a role and want to know which ones would actually hold. For each rule you answer four questions: Is it written into the role? Have you seen it hold? Does a setting enforce it? Would it hold without you?
Rules you've written down that nothing actually enforces.

A rule with no setting behind it is guidance. If it must never break, find the setting, or keep that step with a person. Start with the rules that touch money, customers or anything you can't undo.
A pasted role guides the agent. Your tool's settings are what stop an action.
