    Autopilot safety rails

    Guardrails that stop Autopilot from doing anything destructive — rate limits, confidence thresholds, blast radius caps, and one-click kill switch.

    Quick answer#

    Autopilot only runs an action when confidence ≥ threshold, blast radius ≤ cap, and rate limits are green. A kill switch stops all automation instantly.

    Guardrails#

  1. Confidence threshold (default 0.85) — AI actions require high confidence
  2. Blast radius cap — no more than N sites per action per hour
  3. Rate limit — max actions per site per hour, and per org per day
  4. Business hours — restrict noisy actions to working hours
  5. Kill switch — Settings → Autopilot → Pause All
  6. Dry-run mode — new rules run in shadow for 7 days before going live

    7. Where to find it in Lemwatch#

    Settings → Autopilot → Safety.

    How to configure#

  7. Set confidence threshold for AI-driven actions (start at 0.9 if cautious).
  8. Set blast radius (e.g., 5 sites per action per hour).
  9. Enable dry-run for any new custom rule.
  10. Review the audit log weekly.

    11. FAQ#

    What happens when a guardrail trips?#

    The action is skipped and logged as guardrail_blocked with the reason.

    Can I set per-site overrides?#

    Yes — critical sites can require manual confirmation for all actions.

    What is Autopilot in Lemwatch?

    Autopilot watches your sites, triages incidents, and executes safe remediations — from acking flappy alerts to re-running suspected false positives.

    Autopilot actions catalog

    Every action Autopilot can take, what triggers it, and whether it runs automatically or only after your approval.

    AI alert noise reduction

    Suppresses flapping alerts, deduplicates simultaneous incidents, and silences known-noise patterns — cuts alert volume by 50–80% for most teams.
