Agentic Accountability: AI Agent Governance

AI agents already have access to the systems your business runs on, and the ability to act on its behalf. What they don't have is governance. This paper shows how to bring every agent under one identity model, so agents act, humans stay accountable, and you can prove it.

Be able to answer these three basic questions about the agents in your organization:

  • Who are my agents?

    Find every agent, including the ones nobody approved, and give each one a named, accountable owner.
  • What are they connected to?

    Put one governed channel between every agent and every tool, with short-lived credentials scoped to the task.
  • How do I control what they do & prove it?

    Evaluate every call by policy, pause high-risk actions for a human decision, and keep evidence, not logs.

Agents Arrived, Accountability Didn't

Inside the White Paper

One governed path. Six steps.

  • 1. Register

    People, agents, apps, APIs and MCP servers, all in one record.

  • 2. Connect

    Every agent's authority bound to a named, accountable owner.

  • 3. Broker

    Short-lived, scoped access on demand. The agent never holds the tool's own credential.

  • 4. Authorize

    Every tool call evaluated at runtime: allow, deny, or ask a human.

  • 5. Audit

    One record of every decision, kept as evidence.

  • 6. Cut

    Access ended by session, agent, or access path, and the credentials die with it.
