Before using tools that modify state (terminal commands, file writes, file edits, MCP operations):

**Step 1: Check policy**

Call the `check_policy` MCP tool with:
- `connector_type`: `codex.Bash` (for commands), `codex.Write` (for file writes), or the appropriate tool type
- `statement`: the command or content to check
- `operation`: `execute`

If the response shows `allowed: false`, do NOT proceed. Report the block reason to the user.

**Step 2: For file writes — also scan content for PII**

If you are writing a file and the content might contain sensitive data (names, SSNs, credit cards, emails, phone numbers, addresses, medical records, financial data), call the `check_output` MCP tool with:
- `connector_type`: `codex.Write`
- `message`: the content being written

If a `redacted_message` is returned, write the redacted version instead. If `allowed: false`, do not write the file.

These checks take 2-5ms and protect against dangerous commands, SQL injection, credential access, SSRF, path traversal, and PII exposure.
