Planning and review agents display a CAUTION disclaimer at startup or when presenting findings. Each H2 section below is the verbatim disclaimer for one planner or review family, loaded via #file:.
Caution
Disclaimer: This agent is an assistive tool only. It does not provide legal, regulatory, or compliance advice and does not replace Responsible AI review boards, ethics committees, legal counsel, compliance teams, or other qualified human reviewers. The output consists of suggested actions and considerations to support a user's own internal review and decision‑making. All RAI assessments, risk classification screenings, security models, and mitigation recommendations generated by this tool must be independently reviewed and validated by appropriate legal and compliance reviewers before use. Outputs from this tool do not constitute legal approval, compliance certification, or regulatory sign‑off.
Caution
Disclaimer: This agent is an assistive tool only. It does not provide legal, regulatory, or compliance advice and does not replace professional security review boards, penetration testing teams, compliance auditors, legal counsel, or other qualified human reviewers. The output consists of suggested actions and considerations to support a user's own internal security review and decision‑making. All security plans, threat models, security models, and mitigation recommendations generated by this tool must be independently reviewed and validated by appropriate security and compliance reviewers before use. Outputs from this tool do not constitute security approval, compliance certification, or regulatory sign‑off.
Caution
Disclaimer: This agent is an assistive tool only. It does not provide legal, regulatory, or privacy compliance advice and does not replace privacy counsel, data protection officers, compliance teams, or other qualified human reviewers. The output consists of suggested analyses, control recommendations, and privacy considerations to support a user's own internal privacy review and decision‑making. All privacy plans, DPIA assessments, data-flow analyses, and mitigation recommendations generated by this tool must be independently reviewed and validated by appropriate privacy and compliance reviewers before use. Outputs from this tool do not constitute legal approval, privacy certification, or regulatory sign‑off.
Caution
Disclaimer: This agent is an assistive review tool only. It does not provide legal, regulatory, or privacy compliance sign-off and does not replace privacy counsel, data protection officers, compliance teams, or other qualified human reviewers. The output consists of AI-assisted findings, observations, and suggested next steps to support a reviewer's own privacy analysis and decision‑making. All privacy-review findings, DPIA observations, control recommendations, and risk assessments generated by this tool must be independently reviewed and validated by a qualified privacy reviewer before acting on them or treating any finding as resolved. Outputs from this tool do not constitute legal approval, privacy certification, or regulatory sign‑off.
Caution
Disclaimer: This agent is an assistive tool only. It does not provide legal, regulatory, or compliance advice and does not replace professional supply chain security review boards, OpenSSF Scorecard evaluators, SLSA auditors, legal counsel, or other qualified human reviewers. The output consists of suggested actions, review findings, and considerations to support a user's own internal supply chain security review and decision‑making. All supply chain assessments, review reports, gap analyses, backlog items, and mitigation recommendations generated by this tool must be independently reviewed and validated by appropriate security and compliance reviewers before use. Outputs from this tool do not constitute security approval, compliance certification, or regulatory sign‑off.
Caution
Disclaimer: This skill is an assistive decision-support tool only. It does not provide financial or professional investment advice and does not replace affected stakeholders, measurement owners, accountable sponsors or decision owners, or other qualified human reviewers. The investability verdict is an evidence-readiness signal only: "investable" means the defined evidence gates passed, and "not investable" means required evidence is incomplete. All scorecards, outcome hypotheses, investability verdicts, targets, and measurement plans must be independently reviewed and validated by affected stakeholders, the measurement owner, and the accountable sponsor or decision owner before funding, commitment, or implementation. Outputs from this tool do not constitute investment approval, funding authorization, stakeholder commitment, or measurement sign-off.
Caution
Disclaimer: This agent is an assistive tool only. It does not provide legal, regulatory, architectural, or compliance advice and does not replace architecture review boards, design authorities, technical leadership, legal counsel, or other qualified human reviewers. The output consists of suggested decisions, considered options, consequences, and lineage metadata to support a user's own architecture decision-making. All Architecture Decision Records, supersession lineage, ASR trigger evaluations, and handoff work items generated by this tool must be independently reviewed and validated by appropriate architecture and engineering reviewers before adoption. Outputs from this tool do not constitute architectural approval, design sign-off, or compliance certification.
Caution
Disclaimer: This agent is an assistive tool only. It does not provide product management approval, technical feasibility validation, or business sign-off and does not replace product managers, engineering leads, business stakeholders, or other qualified human reviewers. The output consists of suggested requirements, acceptance criteria, and product specifications to support a user's own product planning and decision-making. All Product Requirements Documents, functional requirements, non-functional requirements, and constraint definitions generated by this tool must be independently reviewed and validated by appropriate product and engineering reviewers before adoption. Outputs from this tool do not constitute product approval, requirements sign-off, or engineering commitment.

Caution
Disclaimer: This agent is an assistive coaching tool only. It does not conduct user research, observe stakeholders, or speak for the people whose problems you are designing for, and it does not replace primary research, direct stakeholder contact, design review, or product and strategy decision authority. Personas, problem statements, journey maps, empathy maps, concept tests, and other Design Thinking artifacts produced with this tool are scaffolding for your own research and synthesis — not substitutes for real stakeholder voice or observed behavior. Validate all AI-generated assumptions, personas, themes, and insights against actual stakeholders before treating any Design Thinking artifact as a basis for product, design, or strategy commitments. Outputs from this tool do not constitute validated research findings or design approval.
Caution
Disclaimer: This agent is an assistive data-science and data-engineering coaching tool only. It does not validate customer data, execute production pipelines, establish model fitness, or replace data owners, privacy and Responsible AI reviewers, engineering review, or business decision authority.
