Verify Data Delivery Evidence
Check publication and complete current location evidence without inferring protection from approval.
Approval queues publication rather than synchronously activating every target.
Check the currently approved version, not unsaved edits or an older delivery request.
The Operations tab lists publication and removal requests. Each has a request number called generation.
Retrying a request sends its previously saved configuration again.
Complete these prerequisites before checking delivery:
policy:audit to inspect restricted Operations details.
If you hold that capability, you can perform the operation checks yourself.To verify delivery for the target, follow these steps:
For failed or retired work, follow issues and withdrawal.
A mixed policy needs evidence for every applicable target. Successful Data protection does not substitute for Guardrails receipt. These verification guides cover Data protection and Federated Guardrails. For Secure Query, ask its administrator for the verification procedure supported by your deployment.
The following table distinguishes the evidence provided by each delivery result:
| Result | What It Establishes | What It Does Not Establish |
|---|---|---|
| Approval | Record the human governance decision. | Prove completed publication. |
| Publication | Make the approved target artifacts available through their publication path. | Prove protection at every location. |
| Positive Data evidence | Observe protection for the current expected Data locations. | Prove a different target received its output. |
| Qualifying Guardrails receipt | Record retrieval of the current configuration by the configured consumer. | Prove that Guardrails applied it to real requests or updated every replica. |
| Archive completion | Remove this policy from the published configuration. | Prove that other policies no longer protect the same data. |
A Guardrails receipt records an eligible consumer retrieval of published output. It is not a consumer assertion that protection has activated. The chart supports both anonymous-only compatibility and an exact named consumer match. Its empty-string default accepts absent or empty request identity, not named requests. Publication reaches Published. Publication plus qualifying receipt allows reconciliation to Enforced for Guardrails-only policies. Mixed policies also need Data evidence. Follow Guardrails verification to check the consumer configuration and current receipt. Refer to states and revisions. For periodic changes after approval, see automatic recompilation.
For the complete author-to-reviewer journey, follow your first policy.
Check publication and complete current location evidence without inferring protection from approval.
Distinguish published Guardrails output from qualifying consumer receipt and runtime activation.
Route publication failures to authorized recovery and verify withdrawal without claiming universal deprotection.
