Coach employees in the moment

.md .json

Acceptance criteria

Show prompt-specific guidance naming the policy issue, and return the same feedback into developer tooling and MCP clients where the action originates there.

Why it matters

Coaching that names the issue and the safe alternative changes behavior; an unexplained block teaches nothing.

How to verify

Pilot users see prompt-specific guidance with your policy links in the browser, IDE and MCP client.

OWASP adoption context

In-the-moment guidance is relevant across employee AI and connected-agent use, wherever the interaction can present a meaningful warning or explanation.

Framework mappings

  • Prompt-specific guidance communicates the policy issue and an approved action where the employee is working. This contributes to policy awareness and competence development, but receiving a warning does not demonstrate competence or complete training.

  • In-context explanations of AI policy and safe actions contribute to AI-risk training, awareness and competence development. They must reach users in developer tools and MCP clients too; coaching alone does not demonstrate required competence.

  • Delivered safe-action guidance is a security-awareness intervention at the decision point. A.6.3 needs guidance to reach relevant employees, including feedback from tools; recommendations alone are insufficient. Validate its reach and usefulness. A warning does not demonstrate competence or replace the wider awareness and training program.
