The "policy in one place, enforced across every agent" part is the piece I would have underrated a year ago.
I went looking for that in my own codebase and found six independent secret-redaction denylists, no two of which agreed. Measured against 17 real credential shapes, the list I thought was canonical caught 10. The seven it missed included a GitLab PAT, a Supabase key, a Cloudflare token and a literal password= . The widest list was a fork, not the canonical one, and only the union of all six covered everything. Nobody wrote six on purpose. Each was locally reasonable when it was added and there was no single place to put the rule.
So the question I would ask about the team layer: when a policy changes, is there exactly one artifact every agent reads, and can I diff what an agent was actually allowed to touch at run time against what the policy said? Enforcement I can audit afterward is worth a lot more to me than enforcement I have to trust.
