  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Shrike-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{

    "scan_type": "prompt"
  }'

  "safe": false,

Watch for a week, then enforce

Declare a scope for the agent on the Agents screen and leave it in observe mode. Every action that would have been held or blocked is recorded with the tier that would have applied, and the action still runs. After a few days the agent's row shows how many actions would have been refused. If the count is mostly legitimate work, edit the scope before enforcing. If it is not, save the scope with enforcement on. Observe mode ends on its own after at most seven days, and you can put any agent back into it later. How scope and observe mode work.
