arXiv:2611.02155v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Coding agents can destroy data, leak secrets and message the wrong person faster than a human can review. Could a decision model catch these risks at runtime? We evaluated 22 hosted decision models and two prompted general models as classifiers for a multi-rule policy engine. A synthetic dataset of 2,643 tool calls was labeled blind against 28 rules, with a sealed holdout. With a single shared preamble in both conditions, explicit boundaries written as examples and counterexamples raised recall by 5.5-26.1 percentage points on all 23 available models and reduced false positives on 21. Jev 1.14's recall rose from 89.3% to 98.2%, while unnecessary interruptions fell from 30.6% to 4.8% of 252 clean actions. With examples, its median latency was 120 ms at $0.46 per thousand requests. Strong models retained the recall gains when concrete names were replaced by generic descriptions; three largely retained them when the same boundaries were written as prose. On 16 new scenarios written after the initial studies, a follow-up improved recall on 22 of 23 models and reduced unnecessary interruptions on 21. We release the dataset, rule texts and harness.
