# Agent Guidelines Details

When you select a guideline, the details page opens and displays the guideline configuration, secure coding instructions, and usage information.

### Prompt

The **Prompt** tab displays the guideline definition and the secure coding instructions provided to AI coding agents.

This tab includes:

| Section             | Description                                                                                                                       |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Description         | A summary of the vulnerability the guideline is designed to prevent.                                                              |
| Activation Criteria | The conditions OX evaluates in a developer's prompt to determine whether the guideline should be provided to the AI coding agent. |
| Instructions        | Secure coding guidance that helps the AI coding agent generate code without introducing the targeted vulnerability.               |
| Code Samples        | Example implementations that demonstrate the recommended secure coding pattern.                                                   |

OX provides this guidance to the AI coding agent automatically before code generation begins. Developers do not interact with the guidelines directly.

### Usage

The **Usage** tab shows how the guideline has been used by AI coding agents.

The tab includes:

#### Engagement

Shows:

* Number of activations during the past 30 days.
* Total number of activations since the guideline was created.
* A timeline chart showing guideline usage over time.

#### Last 10 Activations

Lists the most recent guideline activations, including:

| Column      | Description                                                |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| Time Stamp  | When the guideline was applied.                            |
| User        | The user whose prompt triggered the guideline.             |
| Tool        | The AI coding tool that invoked the guideline.             |
| Application | The repository or application associated with the request. |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ox.security/vibesec/agent-guidelines/agent-guidelines-details.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
