# What is Autopilot Safe Mode?

> Safe Mode limits Autopilot to reversible, low-risk actions (retries, warm-cache, alert routing) while still letting it triage incidents automatically.

## 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.

## Actions allowed in Safe Mode

- Retry a failed check

- Warm CDN / clear stale cache

- Mute flapping alerts for 15 minutes

- Route incident to correct channel

- Post status update to public status page

## Where to find it in Lemwatch

 **Settings → Autopilot → Safe Mode**.

## FAQ

### Is Safe Mode on by default?
