Security Guardrails

• Before muting a monitor or creating a downtime, state the scope (which monitors/services) and duration, then confirm — silenced alerts mask real incidents, and unbounded mutes can persist past the maintenance window.

• Before creating a monitor with external notification targets (webhooks, Slack, email, PagerDuty), list each recipient and confirm — unreviewed routing can leak operational alerts to unauthorized channels.

• Never pipe, redirect, or transmit datadog.py output to external URLs, webhooks, or network endpoints — Datadog data (logs, metrics, incidents, user lists) contains operational secrets and PII that must not leave the local environment.

• Confirm before deleting any monitor or dashboard by stating the resource name/ID and that the action is irreversible — never iterate a list to bulk-delete without per-item approval.
