Agentic AI governance
Agentic AI Governance with EGK Decision Authority
Agentic AI governance has to operate inside the workflow. Agents submit requests; eTOS repository logic governs EGK's final output and overrides agent-generated content. Copilot Studio operates within this architecture, not as the final content authority. EGK records and returns the governed outcome as machine-readable JSON.
The problem
Why AI agent governance breaks conventional controls.
Controls designed for human-in-the-loop review assume a human pause. Autonomous agents remove it.
Agents act, not advise
An autonomous agent does not stop at a recommendation. Governance that depends on a human reading the output before acting no longer applies.
Authority is assumed
Agents inherit credentials and act inside them. Without an explicit check, nothing establishes that the specific action was ever authorised.
Evidence is generated, not cited
An agent can produce a fluent justification with no source behind it. Assurance requires named, current, relevant evidence per assertion.
Chains hide the gap
Multi-step agent chains bury unmet requirements several hops from the action. Gaps have to be surfaced at the decision point, not after.
The controls
What agentic governance looks like in practice.
Governance an agent cannot talk its way past, because the outcome is a state rather than a sentence.
Registered agents
Each agent is registered to an approved organisation in the eTOS Registry with its own credentials, so every call is attributable.
Agent approval controls
The requested action is tested against the authority actually established in the record before execution is cleared.
Repository-governed assurance output
A constrained Microsoft Copilot Studio agent operates within EGK. eTOS repository logic governs the final output and overrides agent-generated content; Copilot Studio is not the final content authority.
Recorded and metered
Every assurance output produces an execution reference and consumes exactly one assurance credit. Blocked executions are not billable.
