Acceptable Use Policy

The Bothive ecosystem is built for ethical automation. Deviating from these standards results in suspension of your runtime and, in serious cases, permanent workspace removal.

Last updated February 19, 2026

Scope

This policy governs every byte processed by the runtime and every tool executed via HiveLang — whether you use our hosted environment or the Bothive CLI. These rules are non-negotiable.

Prohibited agent logic

You may not author HiveLang scripts or deploy agents that perform, or attempt to perform, any of the following:

Social engineering

Phishing, credential harvesting, or deceptive AI personas designed to mislead people for gain.

Cyber-weaponry

Automated vulnerability scanning, exploit delivery, or botnet management via Bothive adapters.

Automated legal abuse

Using agents to generate mass legal threats, DMCA abuse, or systematic harassment.

Resource exhaustion

Intentional infinite loops or recursive swarms designed to exhaust compute or rate limits.

Human-in-the-loop

Bothive supports high-autonomy agents, but we strongly recommend human-in-the-loop checkpoints for any action involving financial transactions or destructive modification of third-party data. Skipping them is at your own legal risk.

Bypassing safeguards

Attempts to jailbreak the underlying LLMs or bypass the runtime's security sandbox are strictly forbidden. We monitor input/output flows for patterns associated with prompt injection and model exploitation.

Harassment & hate speech

Agents must not be configured to generate or distribute content promoting discrimination, disparagement, or violence against individuals or groups based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or nationality.

Enforcement

If an agent is found in violation, Bothive reserves the right to:

  • Immediate suspension — decouple all integration adapters instantly.
  • Purge — delete the infringing script and associated history.
  • Legal cooperation — provide audit logs to authorized law enforcement where required.

Disputing a violation

Evidence-based disputes can be submitted to abuse@bothive.cloud. Trust & Safety decisions are final.
