Prevention Rules
Manage prevention rules that are auto-generated from repeated failure patterns.
When to use
- Reviewing current active prevention rules for the project
- Checking if a specific action is blocked by a prevention rule
- Understanding why an action was blocked
- Generating new prevention rules from observed patterns
How it works
Use the prevention_rules MCP tool to:
- List rules — View all active prevention rules with their match patterns and corrective actions.
- Check rules — Test if a specific action matches any prevention rule before execution.
- Review rule history — See which feedback events led to a rule's promotion.
Example
Check prevention rules for "npm publish without running tests" to see if this action is blocked.
Prevention rules are auto-promoted when the same failure pattern appears multiple times in captured feedback. Each rule includes the original failure context and a corrective action.
