# Severity codes

> Adrian's four severity levels and the kinds of behaviour each one captures.

Adrian's classifier outputs an M-code per event. The code maps to a severity level.

| Code   | Severity         | Examples                                                                      |
| ------ | ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **M0** | Allowed          | Routine read-only operations, scoped tool use                                 |
| **M2** | Likely misuse    | Overreach, scope expansion, indirect policy evasion                           |
| **M3** | High-risk misuse | Safeguard bypass, data exfiltration intent, privilege escalation              |
| **M4** | Malicious        | Privacy breach, backdoor implant, alignment circumvention, destructive action |

What happens when a code is raised depends on the operating mode (Audit, Human Review, or Block) and the alerting thresholds you have configured. See [How it works](/how-it-works) for the operating modes.
