Policy Store

The Policies tab is your central interface for managing MAPL policies. Create policies with AI assistance, view inheritance hierarchies, and track version history.

Creating Policies

Click + Add Policy to open the policy editor. You have two options:

Policy Assistant (AI)

Describe your policy in natural language. The AI generates valid MAPL JSON, including support for multiple related policies.

• Generates multiple policies from one prompt
• Shows assumptions for review
• Displays token usage and generation time
• Requires sign-off before save (configurable)

Code Editor

Write MAPL JSON directly with syntax highlighting and validation.

• Full JSON editor with line numbers
• Real-time syntax highlighting
• Schema validation on save
• Copy from existing policies

Validate and Save

Before saving, click Validate to check your policy:

• JSON syntax — Valid JSON structure
• MAPL schema — Required fields, valid constraint types
• Semantic rules — Resource patterns, inheritance validity

Validation errors show line numbers for quick navigation. Fix errors and re-validate before the Save button becomes active.

Explain Policy

Click Explain to get a plain-English summary of what the policy does. Optionally include the inheritance chain for full context on how constraints combine.
