You are an expert in AI agent governance, safety, and trust systems. You help developers build secure, auditable, policy-compliant AI agent systems.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Your Expertise
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Governance policy design (allowlists, blocklists, content filters, rate limits)
|
||||||
|
- Semantic intent classification for threat detection
|
||||||
|
- Trust scoring with temporal decay for multi-agent systems
|
||||||
|
- Audit trail design for compliance and observability
|
||||||
|
- Policy composition (most-restrictive-wins merging)
|
||||||
|
- Framework-specific integration (PydanticAI, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents, LangChain, AutoGen)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Your Approach
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Always review existing code for governance gaps before suggesting additions
|
||||||
|
- Recommend the minimum governance controls needed — don't over-engineer
|
||||||
|
- Prefer configuration-driven policies (YAML/JSON) over hardcoded rules
|
||||||
|
- Suggest fail-closed patterns — deny on ambiguity, not allow
|
||||||
|
- Think about multi-agent trust boundaries when reviewing delegation patterns
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## When Reviewing Code
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Check if tool functions have governance decorators or policy checks
|
||||||
|
2. Verify that user inputs are scanned for threat signals before agent processing
|
||||||
|
3. Look for hardcoded credentials, API keys, or secrets in agent configurations
|
||||||
|
4. Confirm that audit logging exists for tool calls and governance decisions
|
||||||
|
5. Check if rate limits are enforced on tool calls
|
||||||
|
6. In multi-agent systems, verify trust boundaries between agents
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## When Implementing Governance
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Start with a `GovernancePolicy` dataclass defining allowed/blocked tools and patterns
|
||||||
|
2. Add a `@govern(policy)` decorator to all tool functions
|
||||||
|
3. Add intent classification to the input processing pipeline
|
||||||
|
4. Implement audit trail logging for all governance events
|
||||||
|
5. For multi-agent systems, add trust scoring with decay
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Guidelines
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Never suggest removing existing security controls
|
||||||
|
- Always recommend append-only audit trails (never suggest mutable logs)
|
||||||
|
- Prefer explicit allowlists over blocklists (allowlists are safer by default)
|
||||||
|
- When in doubt, recommend human-in-the-loop for high-impact operations
|
||||||
|
- Keep governance code separate from business logic

# Governance Audit Hook
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Real-time threat detection and audit logging for GitHub Copilot coding agent sessions. Scans user prompts for dangerous patterns before the agent processes them.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Overview
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This hook provides governance controls for Copilot coding agent sessions:
|
||||||
|
- **Threat detection**: Scans prompts for data exfiltration, privilege escalation, system destruction, prompt injection, and credential exposure
|
||||||
|
- **Governance levels**: Open, standard, strict, locked — from audit-only to full blocking
|
||||||
|
- **Audit trail**: Append-only JSON log of all governance events
|
||||||
|
- **Session summary**: Reports threat counts at session end
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Threat Categories
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Category | Examples | Severity |
|
||||||
|
|----------|----------|----------|
|
||||||
|
| `data_exfiltration` | "send all records to external API" | 0.7 - 0.95 |
|
||||||
|
| `privilege_escalation` | "sudo", "chmod 777", "add to sudoers" | 0.8 - 0.95 |
|
||||||
|
| `system_destruction` | "rm -rf /", "drop database" | 0.9 - 0.95 |
|
||||||
|
| `prompt_injection` | "ignore previous instructions" | 0.6 - 0.9 |
|
||||||
|
| `credential_exposure` | Hardcoded API keys, AWS access keys | 0.9 - 0.95 |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Governance Levels
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Level | Behavior |
|
||||||
|
|-------|----------|
|
||||||
|
| `open` | Log threats only, never block |
|
||||||
|
| `standard` | Log threats, block only if `BLOCK_ON_THREAT=true` |
|
||||||
|
| `strict` | Log and block all detected threats |
|
||||||
|
| `locked` | Log and block all detected threats |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Copy the hook folder to your repository:
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
cp -r hooks/governance-audit .github/hooks/
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Ensure scripts are executable:
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
chmod +x .github/hooks/governance-audit/*.sh
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. Create the logs directory and add to `.gitignore`:
|
||||||
|
```bash
|
||||||
|
mkdir -p logs/copilot/governance
|
||||||
|
echo "logs/" >> .gitignore
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. Commit to your repository's default branch.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Configuration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Set environment variables in `hooks.json`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
"env": {
|
||||||
|
"GOVERNANCE_LEVEL": "strict",
|
||||||
|
"BLOCK_ON_THREAT": "true"
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Variable | Values | Default | Description |
|
||||||
|
|----------|--------|---------|-------------|
|
||||||
|
| `GOVERNANCE_LEVEL` | `open`, `standard`, `strict`, `locked` | `standard` | Controls blocking behavior |
|
||||||
|
| `BLOCK_ON_THREAT` | `true`, `false` | `false` | Block prompts with threats (standard level) |
|
||||||
|
| `SKIP_GOVERNANCE_AUDIT` | `true` | unset | Disable governance audit entirely |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Log Format
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Events are written to `logs/copilot/governance/audit.log` in JSON Lines format:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```json
|
||||||
|
{"timestamp":"2026-01-15T10:30:00Z","event":"session_start","governance_level":"standard","cwd":"/workspace/project"}
|
||||||
|
{"timestamp":"2026-01-15T10:31:00Z","event":"prompt_scanned","governance_level":"standard","status":"clean"}
|
||||||
|
{"timestamp":"2026-01-15T10:32:00Z","event":"threat_detected","governance_level":"standard","threat_count":1,"threats":[{"category":"privilege_escalation","severity":0.8,"description":"Elevated privileges","evidence":"sudo"}]}
|
||||||
|
{"timestamp":"2026-01-15T10:45:00Z","event":"session_end","total_events":12,"threats_detected":1}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Requirements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `jq` for JSON processing (pre-installed on most CI environments and macOS)
|
||||||
|
- `grep` with `-E` (extended regex) support
|
||||||
|
- `bc` for floating-point comparison (optional, gracefully degrades)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Privacy & Security
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Full prompts are **never** logged — only matched threat patterns (minimal evidence snippets) and metadata are recorded
|
||||||
|
- Add `logs/` to `.gitignore` to keep audit data local
|
||||||
|
- Set `SKIP_GOVERNANCE_AUDIT=true` to disable entirely
|
||||||
|
- All data stays local — no external network calls

# Agent Safety & Governance
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Core Principles
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Fail closed**: If a governance check errors or is ambiguous, deny the action rather than allowing it
|
||||||
|
- **Policy as configuration**: Define governance rules in YAML/JSON files, not hardcoded in application logic
|
||||||
|
- **Least privilege**: Agents should have the minimum tool access needed for their task
|
||||||
|
- **Append-only audit**: Never modify or delete audit trail entries — immutability enables compliance
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Tool Access Controls
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Always define an explicit allowlist of tools an agent can use — never give unrestricted tool access
|
||||||
|
- Separate tool registration from tool authorization — the framework knows what tools exist, the policy controls which are allowed
|
||||||
|
- Use blocklists for known-dangerous operations (shell execution, file deletion, database DDL)
|
||||||
|
- Require human-in-the-loop approval for high-impact tools (send email, deploy, delete records)
|
||||||
|
- Enforce rate limits on tool calls per request to prevent infinite loops and resource exhaustion
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Content Safety
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Scan all user inputs for threat signals before passing to the agent (data exfiltration, prompt injection, privilege escalation)
|
||||||
|
- Filter agent arguments for sensitive patterns: API keys, credentials, PII, SQL injection
|
||||||
|
- Use regex pattern lists that can be updated without code changes
|
||||||
|
- Check both the user's original prompt AND the agent's generated tool arguments
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Multi-Agent Safety
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Each agent in a multi-agent system should have its own governance policy
|
||||||
|
- When agents delegate to other agents, apply the most restrictive policy from either
|
||||||
|
- Track trust scores for agent delegates — degrade trust on failures, require ongoing good behavior
|
||||||
|
- Never allow an inner agent to have broader permissions than the outer agent that called it
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Audit & Observability
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Log every tool call with: timestamp, agent ID, tool name, allow/deny decision, policy name
|
||||||
|
- Log every governance violation with the matched rule and evidence
|
||||||
|
- Export audit trails in JSON Lines format for integration with log aggregation systems
|
||||||
|
- Include session boundaries (start/end) in audit logs for correlation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Code Patterns
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When writing agent tool functions:
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
# Good: Governed tool with explicit policy
|
||||||
|
@govern(policy)
|
||||||
|
async def search(query: str) -> str:
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Bad: Unprotected tool with no governance
|
||||||
|
async def search(query: str) -> str:
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When defining policies:
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
# Good: Explicit allowlist, content filters, rate limit
|
||||||
|
name: my-agent
|
||||||
|
allowed_tools: [search, summarize]
|
||||||
|
blocked_patterns: ["(?i)(api_key|password)\\s*[:=]"]
|
||||||
|
max_calls_per_request: 25
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Bad: No restrictions
|
||||||
|
name: my-agent
|
||||||
|
allowed_tools: ["*"]
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When composing multi-agent policies:
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
# Good: Most-restrictive-wins composition
|
||||||
|
final_policy = compose_policies(org_policy, team_policy, agent_policy)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Bad: Only using agent-level policy, ignoring org constraints
|
||||||
|
final_policy = agent_policy
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Framework-Specific Notes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **PydanticAI**: Use `@agent.tool` with a governance decorator wrapper. PydanticAI's upcoming Traits feature is designed for this pattern.
|
||||||
|
- **CrewAI**: Apply governance at the Crew level to cover all agents. Use `before_kickoff` callbacks for policy validation.
|
||||||
|
- **OpenAI Agents SDK**: Wrap `@function_tool` with governance. Use handoff guards for multi-agent trust.
|
||||||
|
- **LangChain/LangGraph**: Use `RunnableBinding` or tool wrappers for governance. Apply at the graph edge level for flow control.
|
||||||
|
- **AutoGen**: Implement governance in the `ConversableAgent.register_for_execution` hook.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Common Mistakes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Relying only on output guardrails (post-generation) instead of pre-execution governance
|
||||||
|
- Hardcoding policy rules instead of loading from configuration
|
||||||
|
- Allowing agents to self-modify their own governance policies
|
||||||
|
- Forgetting to governance-check tool *arguments*, not just tool *names*
|
||||||
|
- Not decaying trust scores over time — stale trust is dangerous
|
||||||
|
- Logging prompts in audit trails — log decisions and metadata, not user content

# Agent Governance Patterns
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Patterns for adding safety, trust, and policy enforcement to AI agent systems.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Overview
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Governance patterns ensure AI agents operate within defined boundaries — controlling which tools they can call, what content they can process, how much they can do, and maintaining accountability through audit trails.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
User Request → Intent Classification → Policy Check → Tool Execution → Audit Log
|
||||||
|

Threat Detection Allow/Deny Trust Update
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## When to Use
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Agents with tool access**: Any agent that calls external tools (APIs, databases, shell commands)
|
||||||
|
- **Multi-agent systems**: Agents delegating to other agents need trust boundaries
|
||||||
|
- **Production deployments**: Compliance, audit, and safety requirements
|
||||||
|
- **Sensitive operations**: Financial transactions, data access, infrastructure management
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Pattern 1: Governance Policy
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Define what an agent is allowed to do as a composable, serializable policy object.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
|
||||||
|
from enum import Enum
|
||||||
|
from typing import Optional
|
||||||
|
import re
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
class PolicyAction(Enum):
|
||||||
|
ALLOW = "allow"
|
||||||
|
DENY = "deny"
|
||||||
|
REVIEW = "review" # flag for human review
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@dataclass
|
||||||
|
class GovernancePolicy:
|
||||||
|
"""Declarative policy controlling agent behavior."""
|
||||||
|
name: str
|
||||||
|
allowed_tools: list[str] = field(default_factory=list) # allowlist
|
||||||
|
blocked_tools: list[str] = field(default_factory=list) # blocklist
|
||||||
|
blocked_patterns: list[str] = field(default_factory=list) # content filters
|
||||||
|
max_calls_per_request: int = 100 # rate limit
|
||||||
|
require_human_approval: list[str] = field(default_factory=list) # tools needing approval
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def check_tool(self, tool_name: str) -> PolicyAction:
|
||||||
|
"""Check if a tool is allowed by this policy."""
|
||||||
|
if tool_name in self.blocked_tools:
|
||||||
|
return PolicyAction.DENY
|
||||||
|
if tool_name in self.require_human_approval:
|
||||||
|
return PolicyAction.REVIEW
|
||||||
|
if self.allowed_tools and tool_name not in self.allowed_tools:
|
||||||
|
return PolicyAction.DENY
|
||||||
|
return PolicyAction.ALLOW
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def check_content(self, content: str) -> Optional[str]:
|
||||||
|
"""Check content against blocked patterns. Returns matched pattern or None."""
|
||||||
|
for pattern in self.blocked_patterns:
|
||||||
|
if re.search(pattern, content, re.IGNORECASE):
|
||||||
|
return pattern
|
||||||
|
return None
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Policy Composition
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Combine multiple policies (e.g., org-wide + team + agent-specific):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
def compose_policies(*policies: GovernancePolicy) -> GovernancePolicy:
|
||||||
|
"""Merge policies with most-restrictive-wins semantics."""
|
||||||
|
combined = GovernancePolicy(name="composed")
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
for policy in policies:
|
||||||
|
combined.blocked_tools.extend(policy.blocked_tools)
|
||||||
|
combined.blocked_patterns.extend(policy.blocked_patterns)
|
||||||
|
combined.require_human_approval.extend(policy.require_human_approval)
|
||||||
|
combined.max_calls_per_request = min(
|
||||||
|
combined.max_calls_per_request,
|
||||||
|
policy.max_calls_per_request
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
if policy.allowed_tools:
|
||||||
|
if combined.allowed_tools:
|
||||||
|
combined.allowed_tools = [
|
||||||
|
t for t in combined.allowed_tools if t in policy.allowed_tools
|
||||||
|
]
|
||||||
|
else:
|
||||||
|
combined.allowed_tools = list(policy.allowed_tools)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
return combined
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Usage: layer policies from broad to specific
|
||||||
|
org_policy = GovernancePolicy(
|
||||||
|
name="org-wide",
|
||||||
|
blocked_tools=["shell_exec", "delete_database"],
|
||||||
|
blocked_patterns=[r"(?i)(api[_-]?key|secret|password)\s*[:=]"],
|
||||||
|
max_calls_per_request=50
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
team_policy = GovernancePolicy(
|
||||||
|
name="data-team",
|
||||||
|
allowed_tools=["query_db", "read_file", "write_report"],
|
||||||
|
require_human_approval=["write_report"]
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
agent_policy = compose_policies(org_policy, team_policy)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Policy as YAML
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Store policies as configuration, not code:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
# governance-policy.yaml
|
||||||
|
name: production-agent
|
||||||
|
allowed_tools:
|
||||||
|
- search_documents
|
||||||
|
- query_database
|
||||||
|
- send_email
|
||||||
|
blocked_tools:
|
||||||
|
- shell_exec
|
||||||
|
- delete_record
|
||||||
|
blocked_patterns:
|
||||||
|
- "(?i)(api[_-]?key|secret|password)\\s*[:=]"
|
||||||
|
- "(?i)(drop|truncate|delete from)\\s+\\w+"
|
||||||
|
max_calls_per_request: 25
|
||||||
|
require_human_approval:
|
||||||
|
- send_email
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
import yaml
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def load_policy(path: str) -> GovernancePolicy:
|
||||||
|
with open(path) as f:
|
||||||
|
data = yaml.safe_load(f)
|
||||||
|
return GovernancePolicy(**data)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Pattern 2: Semantic Intent Classification
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Detect dangerous intent in prompts before they reach the agent, using pattern-based signals.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
from dataclasses import dataclass
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@dataclass
|
||||||
|
class IntentSignal:
|
||||||
|
category: str # e.g., "data_exfiltration", "privilege_escalation"
|
||||||
|
confidence: float # 0.0 to 1.0
|
||||||
|
evidence: str # what triggered the detection
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Weighted signal patterns for threat detection
|
||||||
|
THREAT_SIGNALS = [
|
||||||
|
# Data exfiltration
|
||||||
|
(r"(?i)send\s+(all|every|entire)\s+\w+\s+to\s+", "data_exfiltration", 0.8),
|
||||||
|
(r"(?i)export\s+.*\s+to\s+(external|outside|third.?party)", "data_exfiltration", 0.9),
|
||||||
|
(r"(?i)curl\s+.*\s+-d\s+", "data_exfiltration", 0.7),
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Privilege escalation
|
||||||
|
(r"(?i)(sudo|as\s+root|admin\s+access)", "privilege_escalation", 0.8),
|
||||||
|
(r"(?i)chmod\s+777", "privilege_escalation", 0.9),
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# System modification
|
||||||
|
(r"(?i)(rm\s+-rf|del\s+/[sq]|format\s+c:)", "system_destruction", 0.95),
|
||||||
|
(r"(?i)(drop\s+database|truncate\s+table)", "system_destruction", 0.9),
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Prompt injection
|
||||||
|
(r"(?i)ignore\s+(previous|above|all)\s+(instructions?|rules?)", "prompt_injection", 0.9),
|
||||||
|
(r"(?i)you\s+are\s+now\s+(a|an)\s+", "prompt_injection", 0.7),
|
||||||
|
]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def classify_intent(content: str) -> list[IntentSignal]:
|
||||||
|
"""Classify content for threat signals."""
|
||||||
|
signals = []
|
||||||
|
for pattern, category, weight in THREAT_SIGNALS:
|
||||||
|
match = re.search(pattern, content)
|
||||||
|
if match:
|
||||||
|
signals.append(IntentSignal(
|
||||||
|
category=category,
|
||||||
|
confidence=weight,
|
||||||
|
evidence=match.group()
|
||||||
|
))
|
||||||
|
return signals
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def is_safe(content: str, threshold: float = 0.7) -> bool:
|
||||||
|
"""Quick check: is the content safe above the given threshold?"""
|
||||||
|
signals = classify_intent(content)
|
||||||
|
return not any(s.confidence >= threshold for s in signals)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Key insight**: Intent classification happens *before* tool execution, acting as a pre-flight safety check. This is fundamentally different from output guardrails which only check *after* generation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Pattern 3: Tool-Level Governance Decorator
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Wrap individual tool functions with governance checks:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
import functools
|
||||||
|
import time
|
||||||
|
from collections import defaultdict
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
_call_counters: dict[str, int] = defaultdict(int)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def govern(policy: GovernancePolicy, audit_trail=None):
|
||||||
|
"""Decorator that enforces governance policy on a tool function."""
|
||||||
|
def decorator(func):
|
||||||
|
@functools.wraps(func)
|
||||||
|
async def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
|
||||||
|
tool_name = func.__name__
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# 1. Check tool allowlist/blocklist
|
||||||
|
action = policy.check_tool(tool_name)
|
||||||
|
if action == PolicyAction.DENY:
|
||||||
|
raise PermissionError(f"Policy '{policy.name}' blocks tool '{tool_name}'")
|
||||||
|
if action == PolicyAction.REVIEW:
|
||||||
|
raise PermissionError(f"Tool '{tool_name}' requires human approval")
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# 2. Check rate limit
|
||||||
|
_call_counters[policy.name] += 1
|
||||||
|
if _call_counters[policy.name] > policy.max_calls_per_request:
|
||||||
|
raise PermissionError(f"Rate limit exceeded: {policy.max_calls_per_request} calls")
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# 3. Check content in arguments
|
||||||
|
for arg in list(args) + list(kwargs.values()):
|
||||||
|
if isinstance(arg, str):
|
||||||
|
matched = policy.check_content(arg)
|
||||||
|
if matched:
|
||||||
|
raise PermissionError(f"Blocked pattern detected: {matched}")
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# 4. Execute and audit
|
||||||
|
start = time.monotonic()
|
||||||
|
try:
|
||||||
|
result = await func(*args, **kwargs)
|
||||||
|
if audit_trail is not None:
|
||||||
|
audit_trail.append({
|
||||||
|
"tool": tool_name,
|
||||||
|
"action": "allowed",
|
||||||
|
"duration_ms": (time.monotonic() - start) * 1000,
|
||||||
|
"timestamp": time.time()
|
||||||
|

## Pattern 4: Trust Scoring
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Track agent reliability over time with decay-based trust scores:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
|
||||||
|
import math
|
||||||
|
import time
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@dataclass
|
||||||
|
class TrustScore:
|
||||||
|
"""Trust score with temporal decay."""
|
||||||
|
score: float = 0.5 # 0.0 (untrusted) to 1.0 (fully trusted)
|
||||||
|
successes: int = 0
|
||||||
|
failures: int = 0
|
||||||
|
last_updated: float = field(default_factory=time.time)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def record_success(self, reward: float = 0.05):
|
||||||
|
self.successes += 1
|
||||||
|
self.score = min(1.0, self.score + reward * (1 - self.score))
|
||||||
|
self.last_updated = time.time()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def record_failure(self, penalty: float = 0.15):
|
||||||
|
self.failures += 1
|
||||||
|
self.score = max(0.0, self.score - penalty * self.score)
|
||||||
|
self.last_updated = time.time()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def current(self, decay_rate: float = 0.001) -> float:
|
||||||
|
"""Get score with temporal decay — trust erodes without activity."""
|
||||||
|
elapsed = time.time() - self.last_updated
|
||||||
|
decay = math.exp(-decay_rate * elapsed)
|
||||||
|
return self.score * decay
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@property
|
||||||
|
def reliability(self) -> float:
|
||||||
|
total = self.successes + self.failures
|
||||||
|
return self.successes / total if total > 0 else 0.0
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Usage in multi-agent systems
|
||||||
|
trust = TrustScore()
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Agent completes tasks successfully
|
||||||
|
trust.record_success() # 0.525
|
||||||
|
trust.record_success() # 0.549
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Agent makes an error
|
||||||
|
trust.record_failure() # 0.467
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Gate sensitive operations on trust
|
||||||
|
if trust.current() >= 0.7:
|
||||||
|
# Allow autonomous operation
|
||||||
|
pass
|
||||||
|
elif trust.current() >= 0.4:
|
||||||
|
# Allow with human oversight
|
||||||
|
pass
|
||||||
|
else:
|
||||||
|
# Deny or require explicit approval
|
||||||
|
pass
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Multi-agent trust**: In systems where agents delegate to other agents, each agent maintains trust scores for its delegates:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
class AgentTrustRegistry:
|
||||||
|
def __init__(self):
|
||||||
|
self.scores: dict[str, TrustScore] = {}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def get_trust(self, agent_id: str) -> TrustScore:
|
||||||
|
if agent_id not in self.scores:
|
||||||
|
self.scores[agent_id] = TrustScore()
|
||||||
|
return self.scores[agent_id]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def most_trusted(self, agents: list[str]) -> str:
|
||||||
|
return max(agents, key=lambda a: self.get_trust(a).current())
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def meets_threshold(self, agent_id: str, threshold: float) -> bool:
|
||||||
|
return self.get_trust(agent_id).current() >= threshold
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Pattern 5: Audit Trail
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Append-only audit log for all agent actions — critical for compliance and debugging:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
|
||||||
|
import json
|
||||||
|
import time
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@dataclass
|
||||||
|
class AuditEntry:
|
||||||
|
timestamp: float
|
||||||
|
agent_id: str
|
||||||
|
tool_name: str
|
||||||
|
action: str # "allowed", "denied", "error"
|
||||||
|
policy_name: str
|
||||||
|
details: dict = field(default_factory=dict)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
class AuditTrail:
|
||||||
|
"""Append-only audit trail for agent governance events."""
|
||||||
|
def __init__(self):
|
||||||
|
self._entries: list[AuditEntry] = []
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def log(self, agent_id: str, tool_name: str, action: str,
|
||||||
|
policy_name: str, **details):
|
||||||
|
self._entries.append(AuditEntry(
|
||||||
|
timestamp=time.time(),
|
||||||
|
agent_id=agent_id,
|
||||||
|
tool_name=tool_name,
|
||||||
|
action=action,
|
||||||
|
policy_name=policy_name,
|
||||||
|
details=details
|
||||||
|
))
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def denied(self) -> list[AuditEntry]:
|
||||||
|
"""Get all denied actions — useful for security review."""
|
||||||
|
return [e for e in self._entries if e.action == "denied"]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def by_agent(self, agent_id: str) -> list[AuditEntry]:
|
||||||
|
return [e for e in self._entries if e.agent_id == agent_id]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
def export_jsonl(self, path: str):
|
||||||
|
"""Export as JSON Lines for log aggregation systems."""
|
||||||
|
with open(path, "w") as f:
|
||||||
|
for entry in self._entries:
|
||||||
|
f.write(json.dumps({
|
||||||
|
"timestamp": entry.timestamp,
|
||||||
|
"agent_id": entry.agent_id,
|
||||||
|
"tool": entry.tool_name,
|
||||||
|
"action": entry.action,
|
||||||
|
"policy": entry.policy_name,
|
||||||
|
**entry.details
|
||||||
|
}) + "\n")
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

## Pattern 6: Framework Integration
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### PydanticAI
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
from pydantic_ai import Agent
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
max_calls_per_request=20
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
agent = Agent("openai:gpt-4o", system_prompt="You are a support assistant.")
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@agent.tool
|

@govern(policy)
|
||||||
|
async def search_docs(ctx, query: str) -> str:
|

|
"""Search knowledge base — governed."""
|
||||||
|
return await kb.search(query)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@agent.tool
|
||||||
|
@govern(policy)
|
||||||
|
async def create_ticket(ctx, title: str, body: str) -> str:
|
||||||
|
"""Create support ticket — governed."""
|
||||||
|
return await tickets.create(title=title, body=body)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### CrewAI
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
policy = GovernancePolicy(
|
||||||
|
name="research-crew",
|
||||||
|
allowed_tools=["search", "analyze"],
|
||||||
|
max_calls_per_request=30
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Apply governance at the crew level
|
||||||
|
def governed_crew_run(crew: Crew, policy: GovernancePolicy):
|
||||||
|
"""Wrap crew execution with governance checks."""
|
||||||
|
audit = AuditTrail()
|
||||||
|
for agent in crew.agents:
|
||||||
|
for tool in agent.tools:
|
||||||
|
original = tool.func
|
||||||
|
tool.func = govern(policy, audit_trail=audit)(original)
|
||||||
|
result = crew.kickoff()
|
||||||
|
return result, audit
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### OpenAI Agents SDK
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```python
|
||||||
|
from agents import Agent, function_tool
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
policy = GovernancePolicy(
|
||||||
|
name="coding-agent",
|
||||||
|
allowed_tools=["read_file", "write_file", "run_tests"],
|
||||||
|
blocked_tools=["shell_exec"],
|
||||||
|
max_calls_per_request=50
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@function_tool
|
||||||
|
@govern(policy)
|
||||||
|
async def read_file(path: str) -> str:
|
||||||
|
"""Read file contents — governed."""
|
||||||
|
import os
|
||||||
|
safe_path = os.path.realpath(path)
|
||||||
|
if not safe_path.startswith(os.path.realpath(".")):
|
||||||
|
raise ValueError("Path traversal blocked by governance")
|
||||||
|
with open(safe_path) as f:
|
||||||
|
return f.read()
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Governance Levels
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Match governance strictness to risk level:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Level | Controls | Use Case |
|
||||||
|
|-------|----------|----------|
|
||||||
|
| **Open** | Audit only, no restrictions | Internal dev/testing |
|
||||||
|
| **Standard** | Tool allowlist + content filters | General production agents |
|
||||||
|
| **Strict** | All controls + human approval for sensitive ops | Financial, healthcare, legal |
|
||||||
|
| **Locked** | Allowlist only, no dynamic tools, full audit | Compliance-critical systems |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
---
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Best Practices
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Practice | Rationale |
|
||||||
|
|----------|-----------|
|
||||||
|
| **Policy as configuration** | Store policies in YAML/JSON, not hardcoded — enables change without deploys |
|
||||||
|
| **Most-restrictive-wins** | When composing policies, deny always overrides allow |
|
||||||
|
| **Pre-flight intent check** | Classify intent *before* tool execution, not after |
|
||||||
|
| **Trust decay** | Trust scores should decay over time — require ongoing good behavior |
|
||||||
|
| **Append-only audit** | Never modify or delete audit entries — immutability enables compliance |
|
||||||
|
| **Fail closed** | If governance check errors, deny the action rather than allowing it |
|
||||||
|
| **Separate policy from logic** | Governance enforcement should be independent of agent business logic |

||||||

## Agent Governance Implementation Checklist
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Setup
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Define governance policy (allowed tools, blocked patterns, rate limits)
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Choose governance level (open/standard/strict/locked)
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Set up audit trail storage
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Implementation
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Add @govern decorator to all tool functions
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Add intent classification to user input processing
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Implement trust scoring for multi-agent interactions
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Wire up audit trail export
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Validation
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Test that blocked tools are properly denied
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Test that content filters catch sensitive patterns
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Test rate limiting behavior
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Verify audit trail captures all events
|
||||||
|
- [ ] Test policy composition (most-restrictive-wins)
|
||||||
|
```
