Ship Safe Agents

Scan. Ship. Comply. Verify your AI agents have governance controls before deployment.

EU AI Act Article 14 Deadline: August 2, 2026

Non-compliance penalties: Up to 15M or 3% of global turnover.

What is Agent Governance?

Agent governance ensures AI agents operate within defined boundaries:

  • Human Oversight - Humans can intervene in high-risk decisions
  • Authorization Controls - Actions are verified before execution
  • Audit Trails - All actions are logged for accountability
  • Least Privilege - Agents have minimal necessary permissions

Inkog verifies these controls are wired correctly before deployment.

The Governance Gap

Traditional security tools scan for code vulnerabilities. But AI agents have a unique risk:

Traditional Security Inkog Governance ─────────────────── ──────────────── Code quality Human oversight gates Authentication Authorization wiring Data encryption + Audit logging config Network security Permission scoping

Even “secure” code can lack proper governance controls.

Quick Start

# Governance-focused scan inkog . --policy governance # EU AI Act compliance scan inkog . --policy eu-ai-act

Example: Before and After

Before (Vulnerable)

# Financial trading agent - VULNERABLE graph.add_edge("analyze", "execute_trade") # Direct path! app = graph.compile()

Inkog Finding:

FAIL: universal_missing_oversight Message: High-risk action 'execute_trade' has no human approval gate Compliance: EU AI Act Article 14.1, 14.4

After (Compliant)

# Financial trading agent - COMPLIANT graph.add_edge("analyze", "human_review") graph.add_edge("human_review", "execute_trade") app = graph.compile(interrupt_before=["execute_trade"])

Inkog Result:

PASS: All high-risk actions have human oversight gates Governance Score: 100/100 EU AI Act Readiness: READY

Compliance Evidence

Inkog generates audit-ready compliance reports:

{ "governance_score": 100, "eu_ai_act_readiness": "READY", "article_mapping": { "Article 14": { "status": "PASS", "description": "Human Oversight" }, "Article 12": { "status": "PASS", "description": "Record-Keeping" }, "Article 15": { "status": "PASS", "description": "Robustness" } } }

Use these reports for:

  • Internal compliance audits
  • Regulatory submissions
  • Customer due diligence
  • Insurance applications

AGENTS.md Governance Scanner
