# Fetch Policies From The Root Resource

When `true`, the agent caches the policy decision of the resource and all resources from the root of the resource down.

For example, if the resource is `http://host/a/b/c`, then the root of the resource is `http://host/`.

Use this property when a client is expected to access multiple resources on the same path. However, caching can be expensive if very many policies are defined for the root resource.

Default: `false`
