Sequencing rules.
An agent can't call X until Y has happened first.
// policy
deploy(prod) requires approved(review)
Some actions are only safe in sequence. A deploy before its review, or a payout before verification, is the kind of step you can't take back once it runs.
Turn order-of-operations into policy: a sensitive action stays gated behind the step that has to come before it — a prior action or a human sign-off.
Intercept
The agent attempts an action. HiveKey catches it in the path — nothing reaches the tool yet.
Evaluate
Guard tracks the agent's prior steps in the path and denies the gated action until its prerequisite is satisfied, so the order holds whether or not the agent cooperates.
Enforce & log
The verdict is enforced — allow, block, or route for approval — and written to the audit trail, attributable to the agent's owner.
