Product design question

Policy and Legal surface a new multi-step misuse pattern in an agentic workflow a week before a planned deployment, and the customer contract prohibits storing raw prompts. How would you turn that threat model into product requirements, a human-review workflow, and clear enforcement actions?

What this question tests

Ability to translate a legal and safety constraint into concrete product requirements under a tight deadline.

How to approach it

  1. Clarify the exact misuse pattern Policy and Legal found and which agentic workflow steps enable it.
  2. Confirm what the no-raw-prompt-storage clause actually restricts, versus what logs or metadata are still allowed.
  3. Turn the threat model into requirements: what inputs or actions to block, rate-limit, or require a human check on.
  4. Design a human-review workflow that can run without storing raw prompts, for example reviewing redacted or hashed summaries.
  5. Define enforcement actions for violations, such as session suspension or automatic escalation.
  6. Confirm the scoped plan with Policy and Legal before the deployment date, and flag if the timeline is not achievable.
