What are insights?
Insights are AI-generated recommendations for improving your agent policies. Mandate analyzes transaction patterns, detects anomalies, and suggests specific policy changes. Each insight includes evidence, a confidence score, and actionable suggestions you can apply with one click.Insight types
Mandate generates two categories of insights:| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| mandate_rule | Suggests adding, modifying, or removing a policy rule based on observed behavior. |
| pattern_detection | Identifies recurring transaction patterns that may indicate a need for policy adjustment. |
Confidence levels
Each insight carries a confidence score that determines its label:| Label | Score range | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| STRONG RECOMMENDATION | > 0.85 | High-confidence suggestion backed by significant evidence. Act on these first. |
| RECOMMENDATION | > 0.70 | Solid suggestion with good evidence. Worth reviewing carefully. |
| EARLY SIGNAL | > 0.55 | Emerging pattern with limited evidence. Monitor before acting. |
| SUGGESTION | < 0.55 | Low-confidence observation. Consider but do not prioritize. |
Insight card anatomy
Each insight card displays:- Title: a concise description of the recommendation.
- Evidence count: how many transactions contributed to this insight (e.g., “Based on 47 transactions”).
- Suggested changes: the specific policy fields and values to update. Shows the target section (e.g., “spend_limits.daily”) and the proposed value.
- Confidence bar: 5-bar visual showing the confidence score.
- Confidence label: STRONG RECOMMENDATION, RECOMMENDATION, EARLY SIGNAL, or SUGGESTION.
Taking action
Two actions are available for each insight:Accept
Click Accept to apply the suggested policy changes to the agent. Mandate creates a new policy version incorporating the recommendation. The previous policy version is deactivated, same as a manual save in the policy builder.Accepting an insight creates a new policy version. Review the suggested changes in the card before accepting to confirm they match your intentions.
Dismiss
Click Dismiss to remove the insight from your queue. Dismissed insights do not reappear for the same pattern. If the pattern changes significantly, Mandate may generate a new insight.Example insights
