Turen ships with 96 built-in security rules that protect your AI coding agents from dangerous actions. Rules are evaluated in real time and block threats before they execute.

How Rules Work

Rules are pattern-based checks evaluated as Claude Code hooks on LLM requests and responses. When a rule matches:
  1. The action is blocked or flagged based on severity
  2. A security event is logged
  3. The event appears in your dashboard under Monitor > Events
  4. Claude Code receives feedback indicating the action was blocked

Rule Severity

Rules are classified by severity, which determines the response:
SeverityDescription
CriticalImmediate threat — data destruction, system compromise. Blocked.
HighSignificant risk — credential exposure, unauthorized access. Blocked.
MediumModerate risk — potentially unsafe operations. Warning issued.
LowMinor risk — best practice violations. Warning issued.

Managing Rules

In the dashboard, go to Rules Engine > Guard to:
  • View all rules — See every rule with its category, severity, and enabled status
  • Enable/disable rules — Toggle individual rules on or off
  • Create custom rules — Add organization-specific rules using the custom rule wizard

All Rules Are On by Default

Every built-in rule is enabled when you first install Turen. This gives you immediate protection without any configuration. You can fine-tune rules to match your organization’s needs after installation.
