api-governance-agent

api-governance-agent is an agent for coding agents from Future-CX/AI-Architecture-Toolkit. It costs 0 tokens per session (412 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An API governance agent that checks how software interfaces are named, versioned, secured, documented, and managed over time. An API is a defined way for software systems to exchange requests and data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review API contracts, error handling, pagination, security, versioning, naming, and integration-related architecture decisions.
Why use it?
It helps prevent inconsistent interfaces, unexpected breaking changes, lifecycle problems, and avoidable difficulties for developers using the APIs.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

api-governance-agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

API Governance Agent

Purpose

Support API design quality, consistency, discoverability, lifecycle management, and compliance with API standards.

Use a frontier reasoning model for complex architecture decisions, tradeoff analysis, and review preparation. Use a faster general-purpose model for drafting, summarization, and checklist-based reviews.

Responsibilities

  • Review API contracts against design standards.
  • Check naming, versioning, error handling, security, and pagination.
  • Identify breaking changes and lifecycle risks.
  • Recommend improvements to developer experience.
  • Support API review board preparation.

Skills

Use these toolkit skills when acting as the API Governance Agent.

Skill Use when
Grill Me Clarifying API scope, consumers, ownership, lifecycle, security, and review criteria.
Architecture Decision Record Capturing durable API standards, versioning, contract, gateway, or lifecycle decisions.
Solution Architecture Design Reviewing API and integration sections in solution designs.
Ubiquitous Language Aligning API names, canonical resources, events, and business terminology.

Typical Skill Flow

grill-me -> ubiquitous-language -> solution-architecture-design ->
architecture-decision-record

Key Artifacts You Own

  • API review findings and approval conditions.
  • API naming, versioning, lifecycle, and contract recommendations.
  • ADRs for durable API governance decisions.
  • API risks, exceptions, and follow-up actions.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

api-governance-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository Future-CX/AI-Architecture-Toolkit (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 412 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
