What it is and what it does
agent-governance-toolkit-core consolidates five previously separate packages into a single distribution. It provides core runtime infrastructure for multi-agent systems, including kernel architecture, trust exchange mechanisms, execution supervision with privilege rings, saga orchestration, audit trails, identity management, and policy enforcement for cloud-native agent ecosystems.
The package maintains backward compatibility with the five legacy packages through deprecated redirects. It depends on cryptography, pydantic, jsonschema, and structlog to enforce type safety, validation, and observability. The toolkit is designed for scenarios where agents need to operate under governance constraints with verifiable audit trails and zero-trust security models.
Use it for
- Building multi-agent systems where audit trails and compliance reporting are mandatory for regulatory or security reasons.
- Implementing privilege isolation and execution rings to prevent unauthorized cross-agent access or privilege escalation.
- Managing agent identity and trust relationships in cloud-native distributed agent deployments.
- Orchestrating complex workflows using saga patterns with automatic compensation and rollback on failure.
- Enforcing policy-driven governance and access control across heterogeneous agent ecosystems.
