AGP Blog

Use cases, security patterns, and practical notes on governing AI agents in production.

Why AGP

Why AGP: Model Safety Is Not Operational Safety

Model guardrails govern what AI says. AGP governs what agents do across tools, systems, approvals, and audit.

Diagram showing why AGP governs agent actions beyond model safety.
Production Systems

When an AI Agent Touches Production Data

A production database deletion is the kind of agentic incident enterprises need to prevent before execution, not explain afterward.

Supply Chain

Supply-Chain Attacks Become Credential Incidents

A malicious package inside an agent runtime can harvest credentials. AGP reduces blast radius with scoped capabilities, rate limits, suspension, and revocation.

Data Exfiltration

The Data Exfiltration Risk in AI Agent Workflows

A W-9 onboarding agent can process a vendor PDF correctly and still leak the original document if a compromised tool silently emails it out.

Data Deletion

When a PDF Task Becomes a File Deletion

A routine PDF rotation can trigger a file deletion when a tool instruction is malicious, compromised, or simply too powerful for the workflow.

Payments

Governing Payment Agents with AGP

A practical example of how AGP limits payment-agent blast radius before a high-risk tool call executes.

Developer Experience

AGP CLI: Your One-Stop Operational Tool

AGP gives platform and security teams a command-line surface for inspecting agents, managing tools, reviewing approvals, and debugging policy decisions.
