## Policy

Answers: Which requests to record/mock?
{% endhint %}

### Record Policy

Record policy settings controls what to do with requests received by the agent. By default, the agent will record `all` requests intercepted.

To configure the record policy, go to the Proxy Settings by clicking on the cog next to the Run button. Below is similar to what you will see.

The following describes the behaviour of each record policy:

<table><thead><tr><th width="201.71124589450892">Policy</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>all</td><td>All requests will be recorded</td></tr><tr><td>not_found</td><td>Only requests not previously recorded will be recorded</td></tr><tr><td>overwrite</td><td>Active scenario will be overwritten with record requests</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Mock Policy

Mock policy settings controls what to do with requests received by the agent.

By default, the agent will only mock `found` requests.

<div align="left"><img src="/files/nSSW6MnLlJ9PKz55Rkjb" alt="Figure 2. Mock policy settings"></div>

The following describes the behaviour of each mock policy:

<table><thead><tr><th width="210.6632398448366">Policy</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>all</td><td>All requests will be mocked</td></tr><tr><td>found</td><td>Only requests that have been recorded will be mocked</td></tr></tbody></table>
