Manage tags

A tag is a reusable label you attach to one or more (platform, scope) pairs. Instead of listing every scope a rule should cover, you tag the scopes once and then point a policy or guardrail at the tag. Tag three risky scopes as sensitive, and a single require-approval guardrail on tag:sensitive now covers all three — and any scope you tag later.

Tags live on the Tags page — Governance → Tags in the sidebar (/tags, admins only). The policy editor links there too.

Built-in tags

Six tags are always available without any setup: read, write, destructive, pii, financial, and admin. The policy editor’s safety presets use destructive, financial and pii.

Rules on tag:pii only take effect when your organisation has the PII redaction beta switched on (an Enterprise beta). Without it, a tag:pii rule is ignored.

Add a tag binding

A custom tag is created by binding it to a scope. Under Add a tag binding, pick the platform, pick the scope, and type the tag id — lowercase letters, digits and underscores only (for example sensitive, fraud_review_only). Click Add tag. The id is what rules reference as tag:<id>. Tags are scoped to your org — they’re invisible to other orgs.

To put the same tag on more scopes, add another binding with the same tag id. A scope can carry more than one tag, and the same tag can span multiple platforms — that’s the point: one label, many scopes, across connectors.

Existing tags lists every binding (tag, platform, scope). Remove deletes one binding; a tag that a policy still references can’t be removed until you unbind it there.

Use a tag in a rule

Once a tag exists, you can target it:

  • Guardrails — org-wide deny or require-approval on a tag, optionally filtered by role (the classic “members never see tag:pii”). See Manage org guardrails.
  • Policies — the safety presets act on built-in tags, and on the Team plan and above the policy editor’s Conditions (advanced) rules can target any tag. See Manage user policies.

A tag rule resolves to every scope currently carrying that tag at decision time, so tagging a new scope immediately brings it under existing tag rules — no rule edits needed.
