AX Assurance.
A control layer around your agents: audit trail, policy gate, escalation — governance that makes Agentic AI enterprise-ready.
An agent that writes or executes needs a control authority — otherwise "autonomous" is just another word for "unsupervised". AX Assurance wraps around your agents as a control layer: a policy gate checks every call beforehand, an audit trail records it afterwards, and critical findings are escalated for human review.
# Policy gate — before every agent call ✓ ALLOWED ax_test_pipeline sqlite:///app.db ✗ BLOCKED ax_test_pipeline db_url points to a protected environment ('prod') ✓ ALLOWED ax_review_repo /srv/app # Audit trail — after every call (input as hash only) 2026-06-13T07:18Z ax_test_pipeline ok=true verdict=approve 2026-06-13T07:18Z ax_test_pipeline ok=false policy: protected environment 2026-06-13T07:18Z ax_test_pipeline ESCALATION: pytest failed → human review
The gate above is real: it permits a local database run but blocks a production database, writes an audit entry (inputs as a hash only, not in plain text) and escalates a failing test run. To be honest about scope: for full coverage of the OWASP Agentic Top 10 we build on established open source — the Microsoft Agent Governance Toolkit — rather than reinventing a governance engine. Our IP is the curated configuration: which guardrails for which agent.
Policy gate (before the call)
Every agent call is checked against rules — e.g. no production DB, only permitted paths. Violations are blocked, not executed.
Audit trail (after the call)
Complete logging of every call. Inputs are stored as a hash only — evidence without secrets leaking.
Escalation
Critical findings — failing tests, critical review findings — are flagged and escalated for human approval instead of running through.
OSS foundation
For full OWASP Agentic Top 10 coverage, built on the Microsoft Agent Governance Toolkit (open source) — no in-house engine.
- Policy gate before every agent call — configurable allowlists and prohibitions
- Tamper-resistant audit trail: every call logged, inputs as a hash only
- Automatic escalation of critical findings for human review
- Applies across all AX agents (Code Review, Test Agent, Optimize)
- Honest OSS base: full coverage via the Microsoft Agent Governance Toolkit — our IP is the configuration
Does this replace a SIEM or our existing compliance?
Does the audit trail store our code or our inputs?
What does it cover today, and what comes via open source?
How does it hook into our MCP agents?
