AI agent governance, explained.

Guides on governing what AI agents are allowed to do — action authorization, guardrails, evals, and how runtime governance differs from the observability tools you already use.

Guide · Part 1 of 2 · 10 min

What are AI evals, and why does agentic AI need them continuously?

Deterministic software is proven once at a release gate and watched for uptime. An LLM agent's input space isn't enumerable — why evaluation has to become a continual, 100%-of-traffic layer with an SME in the loop.

In-process runtime observability vs. proxy & network-based AI controls

How in-process controls differ from GRC platforms (Credo.ai, Trustible, Monitaur) and network gateways (Lasso Security) — what each layer can see, and why enterprise identity rules often only work in-process.

What is AI agent governance?

A precise definition, why it matters now that agents take actions, and the four pillars: action authorization, guardrails, evaluation, and audit.

Runtime governance vs. LLM observability: do you need both?

Observability tells you what your agent did; governance decides what it's allowed to do. The difference, a side-by-side, and why most teams need both.

Watch the same agent, on a real open-source model, run with and without Parapet — one wipes a database, the other is denied in-process.
