Agent Instruction Boundary

Agent Instruction Boundary is a ai policy boundary that separates durable system instructions from user-provided content for tool-using assistant workflows. It uses role labels, precedence rules, and prompt assembly checks so teams can avoid instruction confusion while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.

“The AI platform team used Agent Instruction Boundary when an agent moved from search to action, so the team could avoid instruction confusion before the agent workflow reached production.”
