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:

Code quality Human oversight gates
Authentication Authorization wiring
Data encryption + Audit logging config
Network security Permission scopingEven “secure” code can lack proper governance controls.
What Inkog Detects
| Detection | Description | Compliance |
|---|---|---|
| Missing Human Oversight | High-risk actions without approval gates | EU AI Act Article 14 |
| Authorization Gaps | Tools executed without permission checks | OWASP LLM06 |
| Missing Audit Logging | Actions not logged for accountability | EU AI Act Article 12 |
| Excessive Permissions | Overly broad tool/data access | EU AI Act Article 15 |

Quick Start
# Governance-focused scan
inkog . --policy governance
# EU AI Act compliance scan
inkog . --policy eu-ai-actExample: 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, 14.4After (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: READYCompliance Evidence
