- Summarize catalog information for easier policy discussions.
- Support review without implying that the list action changes policy.

- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to list applications and summarize the returned catalog for review.

- 5Test with one real run and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does this apply a filtering policy to an application?
No. The action lists applications. It does not update policy.
Can Notis recommend which applications to block?
It can help summarize details, but any recommendation needs criteria from you and should be reviewed before action.
