# Create an Anthale Policy for a Trust Boundary

> Set up an Anthale policy with guardrails, enforcement actions, and rollout intent for a specific trust boundary in your LLM application.

This guide covers creating a policy in the dashboard once you already know which workflow or trust boundary it should protect.

## Before you start

* Select the Organization that should own the policy.
* Decide whether you are configuring the `input` path, the `output` path, or both.
* Know which guardrails and actions the workflow requires.

## Create the policy

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open policies in the dashboard">
    Open the [Policies page](https://platform.anthale.com/policies) for the organization that will own the new policy.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the create flow">
    Create a new policy by clicking the "Create Policy" button in the top right of the page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add clear policy details">
    Give the policy a name that identifies the workflow, boundary, and environment. Add a description when it helps the
    next operator understand what the policy is for.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure guardrails and policy behavior">
    For each guardrail, configure behavior separately for `input` and `output` only where you need it. Set which action
    Anthale should return when a threat is detected, and tune other attributes such as thresholds or allowed and blocked
    lists for that workflow.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the policy">Save the new policy.</Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Use one policy per workflow or trust boundary. That keeps rollout decisions and guardrail tuning easier to reason
  about.
</Tip>

## Verify the policy

* Confirm the policy appears in the list for the current Organization.
* Reopen the policy and check that the enabled guardrails, path coverage, and returned actions match the intended boundary.
* Keep the policy identifier you will use in your SDK or integration close at hand for the next implementation step.
