DENY/kill-switch
Kill switch engaged
Human oversight has paused all tool execution for this workspace or scope.
What it means
A human operator (or an automated safety rule) flipped the kill switch. Until it is released, every tool call — including read-only ones — is denied at the gate before it reaches an adapter.
Common causes
- An operator pressed the kill-switch pill in the top shelf.
- A break-glass rule in the active policy bundle tripped.
- A scoped panic was armed for the current workspace or agent.
How to fix
- Open the kill-switch cockpit and release the pause once the incident is understood.
- Check the AVAR receipt for the `killSwitch` flag and the operator identity.
- If the pause was automatic, review the triggering policy and, if intended, widen the scope so future runs are not blocked.
