# ModelPilot Agent Execution Policy

ModelPilot is the policy, execution, verification, and evidence layer above the user's own AI providers and tools. It is not a model host or model marketplace.

## When to use ModelPilot

Use ModelPilot when work involves any of these conditions:

- more than one possible model, provider, tool, local, edge, or human execution path
- privacy, retention, region, risk, quality, latency, or budget constraints
- a result must be verified rather than assumed from a model response
- the user needs task-level cost, trajectory, or outcome evidence

## Required operating behavior

1. Use `modelpilot_decide_execution` when the user should review the proposed path before spending or acting.
2. Use `modelpilot_execute_verified_task` for a complete unit of AI work.
3. Supply a stable `idempotencyKey` when a task might be retried.
4. Do not report completion unless ModelPilot returns `status: verified`.
5. Treat `awaiting_approval`, `unverified`, and `failed` as incomplete.
6. Return the task ID, selected path, measured cost, verification result, and evidence location to the user.
7. Never place a ModelPilot key or provider credential in prompts, source files, logs, screenshots, or tool arguments.
8. Never infer realized business value. Confirm it only from customer input, measured time saved, or a system of record.
