    Quick answer#

    Safe Mode restricts Autopilot to reversible actions: retrying failed probes, warming the CDN cache, muting flapping alerts, and routing to the right on-call. Destructive actions (config changes, deploys) require explicit approval.

  1. Retry a failed check
  2. Warm CDN / clear stale cache
  3. Mute flapping alerts for 15 minutes
