High-Risk Use Case Requirements

Some use cases pose elevated risk because they can affect rights, access to essential services, safety, welfare, financial outcomes, or public trust. These use cases require additional safeguards.

Required safeguards

Human-in-the-loop: a qualified human professional must review advice, recommendations, or subjective decisions before they are delivered to or finalized for individuals or consumers.
Disclosure: if Recursite or AI-generated output is presented directly to individuals or consumers, you must clearly disclose that AI was used to help produce the advice, decision, recommendation, or content.
Accuracy and appropriateness: you or your organization remain responsible for the accuracy, legality, fairness, explainability, and appropriateness of the final use.
Appeal or review: where decisions materially affect rights, eligibility, access, safety, or welfare, you must provide meaningful human review or appeal where required by law or appropriate to the risk.

High-risk categories

Legal: legal interpretation, legal guidance, legal drafting presented as advice, or decisions with legal implications.
Healthcare: medical diagnosis, treatment, patient care, therapy, mental health, or other medical guidance. General wellness content may be lower risk but still requires care.
Insurance: underwriting, claims processing, pricing, eligibility, or coverage decisions involving health, life, property, disability, or other insurance.
Finance: investment advice, loan approvals, creditworthiness, eligibility, benefits, debt, trading, or other financial decisions.
Employment and housing: hiring, resume screening, work allocation, termination, promotion, leasing, housing eligibility, or mortgage eligibility.
Academic testing, accreditation, and admissions: scoring, ranking, admissions decisions, certification, language proficiency, standardized testing, or institutional accreditation.
Media or professional journalistic content: automated generation or publication of externally distributed news, investigations, or professional media content.

Additional Use Case Guidelines

The following guidelines apply in addition to the universal standards and high-risk requirements above.

Consumer-Facing Chatbots and AI Agents

Interactive experiences that face consumers require clear transparency and responsible operation.

Disclose that users are interacting with AI rather than a human at the beginning of each chat or session.
Do not falsely claim professional, human, governmental, medical, legal, financial, or emergency-service status.
Provide escalation paths to qualified humans where the use case, risk, or applicable law requires it.

Products Serving Minors

Products intended for or likely to be used by minors must use stronger protective controls.

Comply with child safety, privacy, age-appropriate design, parental consent, and education-sector requirements that apply to your product.
Avoid manipulative, addictive, sexual, exploitative, bullying, self-harm, or age-inappropriate experiences.
Use safeguards appropriate to the age of users, including content filtering, reporting, escalation, and monitoring where lawful and appropriate.

Agentic Workflows

Agentic features must not be used to bypass safeguards or shift responsibility away from the user.

You are responsible for actions that Recursite agents, automations, tools, scripts, or integrations take at your direction.
Use appropriate permissions, sandboxing, rate limits, review gates, logging, rollback plans, and human approval for consequential actions.
Do not authorize agents to access systems, data, accounts, or tools unless you have permission and the action complies with this policy.
Do not use agents to conduct prohibited cyber, fraud, spam, harassment, surveillance, or platform-abuse activity at scale.

Integrations, Connectors, and MCP Servers

Integrations must respect user control, data boundaries, and applicable third-party rules.

Only connect services, accounts, repositories, files, tools, or MCP servers you are authorized to use.
Do not use integrations to exfiltrate data, bypass access controls, impersonate users, or violate third-party terms.
Connector, plugin, and MCP-style integrations should provide accurate descriptions, limited permissions, secure handling of secrets, and clear user consent.

Enforcement and Reporting

We may update this Usage Policy as our technology, products, risks, laws, and safeguards evolve.
We may investigate suspected violations using product signals, user reports, automated safeguards, third-party notices, and human review.
Violations may result in output blocking, content removal, warning, rate limiting, feature restriction, account suspension, termination, or reporting to authorities where appropriate or required.
To report harmful, unsafe, inaccurate, biased, or policy-violating behavior, contact usersafety@interneuronlabs.com.
