It includes dynamic dependency resolution, a halt state for uncertainty, and a recovery loop integrating drift detection.
Microsoft released the Agent Governance Toolkit, an open-source runtime enforcement tool for AI agents that provides deterministic policy enforcement, zero-trust identity, and sandboxing, covering all 10 OWASP Agentic risks with over 13,000 tests.
The article introduces Sentinel Gateway, a security middleware designed to guarantee safety for AI agents by restricting actions to predefined scopes, preventing data leaks, and ensuring full traceability of agent actions.
