​
🛡️ 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

​
🔗 A2A Protocol

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

​
Communication Patterns

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

​
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"
