 ## Behavior model
 
-### Allow
-Low-risk reads and normal project-local writes are allowed.
+### LLM risk threshold and confirmation
+Every `bash`, `read`, `write`, and `edit` call that is not already denied or refined is analyzed by the active Pi model. The default minimum risk requiring confirmation is `ALTO`; any LLM risk at or above the selected threshold triggers a modal. Existing deterministic confirmation rules still apply regardless of the threshold.
+
+The modal offers **Allow once / Block** and shows a short description, the model's rationale, and a one-word risk label (`BASSO`, `MEDIO`, `ALTO`, or `CRITICO`). If no model is active or analysis fails, the risk is `SCONOSCIUTO` and the operation requires manual confirmation (fail-safe). The threshold is changed from the `/policy-gate` TUI menu and saved to `~/.pi/agent/policy-gate.json`.
+
+Before analysis, the active model receives the proposed command/path and up to three recent, related tool calls from the session. Common inline credentials and URL user-info are redacted. This data is sent to the configured current-model provider; do not use a provider you do not trust for it.
 
 ### Confirm
-Potentially dangerous but legitimate actions open a modal with **Allow once / Block**. Before showing it, the currently selected Pi model receives the proposed command and up to three recent, related tool commands from the active session. The dialog displays a short description, the model's rationale, and a one-word risk label (`BASSO`, `MEDIO`, `ALTO`, or `CRITICO`). Common inline credentials and URL user-info are redacted from the analysis request. If no model is active or analysis fails, the dialog says so and labels risk `SCONOSCIUTO`; it still requires an explicit user choice.

-The command and selected prior commands are sent to the configured current-model provider for analysis. Do not use this feature with a provider you do not trust for that data.
+Potentially dangerous but legitimate actions open the same confirmation modal even when the LLM risk is below the selected threshold.
