What Is the Commercial Advisor Agent?
The Commercial Advisor agent evaluates traces for business and financial risk. It detects unauthorised commitments, pricing exposure, contractual language risks, and commercially sensitive information. This agent helps prevent your organisation from inadvertently sharing information that could weaken your negotiating position or create unintended obligations.How It Works
Commercial Advisor analyses every trace for content that carries business risk. It evaluates whether the interaction involves pricing details, contractual language, financial projections, or other commercially sensitive material. When a risk is found, the agent produces an intent that reflects the severity. Your commercial rules and risk tolerance shape the agent’s behaviour. You decide which types of business information warrant protection.What It Detects
| Risk Area | What It Catches |
|---|---|
| Unauthorised Commitments | Language that could be interpreted as a binding agreement, promise, or obligation on behalf of your organisation |
| Pricing Exposure | Sharing internal pricing models, discount structures, margin data, or rate cards with external services |
| Contractual Language | Draft contract terms, negotiation strategies, or legal positions shared externally |
| Financial Projections | Revenue forecasts, budget details, investment plans, or financial targets |
| Commercially Sensitive Information | Supplier terms, partnership details, acquisition plans, or strategic financial decisions |

The agent detects phrasing that could be interpreted as an unauthorised obligation. This early warning helps prevent situations where informal language creates unintended business exposure.
How Commercial Advisor Complements Other Agents
Commercial Advisor focuses on business risk that other agents are not designed to catch. Data Protection handles personal data, and Brand Guardian watches for reputation risk. Commercial Advisor covers your organisation’s financial interests and negotiating position. A trace might contain no personal data and pose no brand risk, but still expose your pricing strategy or create an implied commitment. Commercial Advisor catches these business-specific risks.When to Use Enforcer Mode
Consider Enforcer mode for Commercial Advisor in workspaces that handle pricing, contracts, financial planning, or vendor negotiations. The financial impact of exposed pricing models or unauthorised commitments can be significant. Enforcer mode ensures these traces are stopped before sensitive business information leaves your organisation. For general-purpose workspaces, Observer mode provides visibility into commercial risks without interrupting the flow.Next Steps
