+**Engagement window:** <start ISO timestamp> through <end ISO timestamp>
+
+## Target
+
+- Primary URL(s):
+  - https://...
+- Primary IP(s):
+  - X.X.X.X
+- Hostnames covered:
+  - host.example.com
+  - api.host.example.com

+## Authorization Basis
+
+(Pick one — record evidence in writing for anything but ownership.)
+
+- [ ] Operator owns the application and infrastructure being tested.
+- [ ] Written authorization from <name, role, organization, date>.
+      Document stored at: <path or link to signed authorization>.
+- [ ] Hermes Agent dashboard, running on this same workstation, used
+      as a self-test target. Operator confirms no other user is
+      connected to the dashboard instance during the engagement.
+
+## Out of Scope (must not be tested)
+
+- Production systems unless explicitly listed above
+- Third-party APIs / SaaS the application calls into
+- Other tenants if the target is multi-tenant
+- Cloud metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254, etc.) unless explicitly
+  included above
+- Destructive payloads (DROP, DELETE, file writes outside test
+  directories) without per-payload approval
+- Active social engineering, phishing, physical security
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Rate limit: <N> req/s per host. Default 5/s (200ms gap).
+- Hours: <none> | <only between HH:MM and HH:MM local>
+- Notify-before for: <list of categories> e.g. "any payload that
+  writes data," "any traffic that touches the auth endpoint after
+  10pm local"
+
+## Acknowledgement
+
+By approving this engagement, the operator confirms:
+
+1. The targets listed above are authorized for active testing by the
+   listed authorization basis.
+2. Testing may produce HTTP 4xx/5xx responses, log noise, alert
+   notifications, and rate-limit triggers in monitoring systems.
+3. The operator is responsible for any consequences of testing
+   targets that are NOT correctly authorized.
+4. The operator will revoke authorization (by stopping the agent) if
+   the scope changes, the time window ends, or any unexpected
+   off-scope behavior is observed.
