Decision Models as Policy Gates for Coding Agents
arXiv paper evaluating 22 hosted decision models and two prompted general models as runtime classifiers for a multi-rule coding-agent policy engine. It reports recall, false-positive, latency, and cost results on a 2,643-call synthetic dataset with a sealed holdout.

Highlights
- Evaluates 22 hosted decision models and two prompted general models as classifiers for a multi-rule policy engine.
- Uses a synthetic dataset of 2,643 tool calls labeled blind against 28 rules, with a sealed holdout.
- Explicit boundaries as examples and counterexamples raised recall by 5.5-26.1 percentage points on all 23 available models.
- Jev 1.14's recall rose from 89.3% to 98.2%, and unnecessary interruptions fell from 30.6% to 4.8% of 252 clean actions.
- With examples, Jev 1.14's median latency was 120 ms at $0.46 per thousand requests.

It evaluates 22 hosted decision models and two prompted general models as classifiers for a multi-rule policy engine that gates coding-agent tool calls.
It uses a synthetic dataset of 2,643 tool calls labeled blind against 28 rules, with a sealed holdout for evaluation.
Writing boundaries as examples and counterexamples raised recall by 5.5-26.1 percentage points on all 23 available models and reduced false positives on 21.
Jev 1.14's recall rose from 89.3% to 98.2%, while unnecessary interruptions fell from 30.6% to 4.8% of 252 clean actions.
With examples, its median latency was 120 ms at $0.46 per thousand requests.
On 16 new scenarios written after the initial studies, a follow-up improved recall on 22 of 23 models and reduced unnecessary interruptions on 21.
The authors release the dataset, rule texts and harness used in the evaluation.
