Metadata

The metadata node carries template bookkeeping — who authored the policy, its version, timestamps and searchable tags. It is stored with the policy set but not applied to sessions.

Editor Advanced → Metadata JSON · JSON metadata

Properties

Property	Type	Notes
`author`	string	Who created or owns the template.
`version`	string	Free-form version label (distinct from the top-level numeric `revision`).
`created`	string	ISO 8601 date-time.
`updated`	string	ISO 8601 date-time.
`tags`	string[]	Searchable labels, e.g. `finance`, `contractors`, `high-security`.

Sample

"metadata": {
  "author": "Security Team",
  "version": "2.0",
  "created": "2026-01-15T09:00:00Z",
  "updated": "2026-06-01T14:30:00Z",
  "tags": ["finance", "restricted", "audited"]
}

Note

Because metadata is not applied to sessions, editing it never changes runtime behaviour. Use tags to keep a growing library of policy sets organised and searchable, and keep updated current as a change marker. The numeric revision field on the policy set itself (see Policy Sets & the Editor) is what drives built-in upgrade prompts.
