File contents

Use this skill when a user asks "why was that blocked?", "what policy fired?", or wants the context behind an allow/deny before retrying or requesting an override.

Call the explain_decision MCP tool with the decision_id returned in the original policy-check response (e.g. decision_id on a check_policy response or in the deny block reason).

The response includes:

policy_matches[] — every matched policy with policy_id, policy_name, risk_level, and allow_override
decision — "allow" or "deny"
reason — human-readable summary
risk_level — critical, high, medium, low
override_available — whether the caller can request a session override
historical_hit_count_session — how often this exact decision_id pattern has fired in the rolling 24h window

Present the result as a short summary: which policy fired, the risk level, whether an override is available, and (if so) suggest the user invoke create-override with a justification.
