Security Guardrails

Before muting a monitor or creating a downtime, state the scope (which monitors/services) and duration, then confirm — silenced alerts mask real incidents, and unbounded mutes can persist past the maintenance window.
Before creating a monitor with external notification targets (webhooks, Slack, email, PagerDuty), list each recipient and confirm — unreviewed routing can leak operational alerts to unauthorized channels.
Never pipe, redirect, or transmit datadog.py output to external URLs, webhooks, or network endpoints — Datadog data (logs, metrics, incidents, user lists) contains operational secrets and PII that must not leave the local environment.
Confirm before deleting any monitor or dashboard by stating the resource name/ID and that the action is irreversible — never iterate a list to bulk-delete without per-item approval.
