What should I do if I see clearance escalation in the Threat Pulse feed?
Nothing urgent: the feed only shows attacks that were already blocked or flagged. If one class keeps appearing, review the linked defense guide and check your agents' allowlists, data boundaries, and spend caps.
Counts are real enforcement rows, anonymized. Attack classes seen in fewer than three workspaces never get a page.
