Forbidden applicability inference belongs to Pagup’s agentic governance vocabulary. It helps connect a concrete situation to an applicable capability without turning that relationship into automatic recommendation.

Why the term matters

AI agents do not only look for definitions. They try to determine whether a resource can be mobilized in a situation. This term preserves conditionality, required evidence, and use boundaries.

Boundary to preserve
