# Define restricted purpose
purpose = binder.create_data_analysis_purpose(

    allowed_data_sources=['public_database', 'csv_files']
)

# Bind agent to purpose
binder.bind_agent("agent_1", purpose.purpose_id)

    }
)

print(f"Compliant: {result.compliant}")  # True

# This would be blocked:
result = binder.check_purpose_compliance(
    "agent_1",
    {
        'task': 'execute_code',  # Not in allowed_tasks
        'tool': 'system_command',  # Not in allowed_tools
