🛡️ Agent Governance

Built-in governance controls for enterprise compliance and security.

Tool Permissions

# Agent tool configuration
tools:
  - name: web_search
    enabled: true
    requires_approval: false
  
  - name: file_write
    enabled: true
    requires_approval: true  # Human approval needed
    approval_timeout: 300
  
  - name: database_query
    enabled: false  # Disabled for this agent

Governance Features

Feature	Description
Tool Approvals	Require human approval for sensitive operations
Permission Boundaries	Limit what tools agents can access
Audit Trails	Full logging of all agent actions
Budget Controls	Set token/cost limits per agent
Execution Timeouts	Prevent runaway agents
Goal Termination	Stop agents when goals are achieved

🔗 A2A Protocol

Native agent-to-agent communication following the Agent Communication Protocol standard.

Communication Patterns

Direct Messaging
Task Delegation
Broadcast

# Agent A sends message to Agent B
await agent_a.send_message(
    to="agent-b-id",
    content="Please analyze this data",
    context={"data": dataset}
)

# Delegate task to specialist agent
result = await manager_agent.delegate(
    agent="data-analyst",
    task="Analyze quarterly sales",
    deadline="2025-01-15"
)

# Broadcast to all agents in network
await agent.broadcast(
    channel="alerts",
    message="High priority task incoming"
)

A2A Features

Agent Discovery: Well-known endpoints for agent capabilities
JWT Authentication: Secure inter-agent communication
Protocol Compliance: Follows A2A standard
Bridge Pattern: Message routing between agents

⚡ Event-Driven Triggers

Fire agents automatically based on events, schedules, or external webhooks.

Trigger Types

🕐 Schedule

Cron-based scheduling for recurring tasks

🔗 Webhooks

HTTP endpoints to trigger agents

📡 Events

React to system/domain events

Configuration Example

triggers:
  - name: daily_report
    type: schedule
    cron: "0 9 * * *"  # Daily at 9 AM
    agent: report-generator
    input:
      report_type: daily_summary
  
  - name: slack_handler
    type: webhook
    endpoint: /webhooks/slack
    agent: slack-bot
    authentication:
      type: hmac
      secret: ${SLACK_WEBHOOK_SECRET}
  
  - name: error_handler
    type: event
    event_pattern: "error.*"
    agent: error-analyzer
    condition:
      severity: ">= high"
