Question 1

Can I customize a template after importing it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Templates are starting points, not locked configurations. After importing, you can adjust any parameter — budget caps, frequency limits, alert thresholds, vendor restrictions — through the dashboard or API.

Question 2

How are template recommendations determined?

Accepted Answer

Template parameters are derived from aggregated, anonymized usage patterns across Reins deployments. Daily caps, alert thresholds, and frequency limits reflect the median values for each agent type in production environments.

Question 3

Can I use multiple templates for the same agent?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Policies are composable — you can layer multiple templates on a single agent. For example, apply a base RAG template for spend limits and add a compliance template for vendor restrictions. Policies are evaluated in priority order.

Question 4

Do templates work with the Reins SDK?

Accepted Answer

Templates generate standard Reins policy JSON. You can import them via the dashboard, the REST API, or directly in your SDK initialization code. All three methods produce identical policy configurations.

Question 5

What happens when a template's limits are exceeded?

Accepted Answer

The configured action fires — either alert-only (notify but allow the call), soft-block (warn the agent and request confirmation), or hard-block (reject the call). Each template ships with a recommended action, but you can change it.

Question 6

How often are community templates reviewed?

Accepted Answer

Community templates are user-submitted and upvoted by the community. Popular templates are reviewed by the Reins team for accuracy and promoted to the official library when they meet quality standards.
