Establish identity
Define who the agent represents, which enterprise permissions it inherits, and who remains accountable.
Production Readiness
Keep every action within identity, access, and accountability boundaries.
Build identity, access, approvals, and audit into agent operations so autonomous action remains governed and traceable.
How It Works
Governance is not a post-run check. It is a continuous control chain spanning identity, context access, tool execution, and write-back.
Define who the agent represents, which enterprise permissions it inherits, and who remains accountable.
Provide only the information required for the current step, based on task, identity, and risk.
Use least privilege, execution guardrails, and human approval to govern tool use and consequential actions.
Record provenance, access, calls, approvals, and outcomes before governed write-back into enterprise context.
Enterprise Value
Use identity, least privilege, and tiered authorization to let reversible, lower-risk work advance autonomously within explicit boundaries.
Disclose only the context and tools required for the current step instead of exposing unrelated data and permissions at once.
Connect provenance, policy decisions, approvals, and outcomes into audit evidence for security review, investigation, and accountability.
Validation & Guardrails
Agents can proactively identify and advance work, while consequential actions still require explicit authorization, stopping conditions, and human accountability. System controls and compliance certifications serve different roles.
How We Measure
Unauthorized-action blocking
High-risk approval coverage
Audit record completeness
Context-exposure violations
Boundaries & Guardrails
Tools, data, and actions not explicitly authorized for a task remain unavailable by default; new capabilities require scoped security review.
Version access, approval, and stopping policies, then continuously test them against overreach, prompt injection, and abnormal tool outcomes.

An agent should operate through an explicit delegation representing a user or service identity, constrained by user access, task scope, and tool policy. Delegation can narrow or segment authority, but cannot grant capabilities the delegating identity did not have.
Each agent and tool call retains its own identity, input provenance, and authorization scope. Context and outcomes are revalidated at handoffs so one agent cannot implicitly transfer its authority to another.
Security and Governance explains system mechanisms such as identity, access, approvals, execution guardrails, and audit. Security and Compliance describes policies, certifications, and legal commitments. They support but do not replace each other.
