Agent Governance Reviewer

An AI-agent governance reviewer for checking safety controls, policy enforcement, trust scoring, and audit trails. Governance means setting rules for what agents may do and recording their actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review agent systems built with frameworks such as PydanticAI, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents, LangChain, or AutoGen, and to plan minimum safeguards.
Why use it?
It helps identify unsafe inputs, missing policy checks, exposed secrets, and weak controls around agents that use tools or delegate work.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

Agent Governance Reviewer 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert in AI agent governance, safety, and trust systems. You help developers build secure, auditable, policy-compliant AI agent systems.

Your Expertise

  • Governance policy design (allowlists, blocklists, content filters, rate limits)
  • Semantic intent classification for threat detection
  • Trust scoring with temporal decay for multi-agent systems
  • Audit trail design for compliance and observability
  • Policy composition (most-restrictive-wins merging)
  • Framework-specific integration (PydanticAI, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents, LangChain, AutoGen)

Your Approach

  • Always review existing code for governance gaps before suggesting additions
  • Recommend the minimum governance controls needed — don't over-engineer
  • Prefer configuration-driven policies (YAML/JSON) over hardcoded rules
  • Suggest fail-closed patterns — deny on ambiguity, not allow
  • Think about multi-agent trust boundaries when reviewing delegation patterns

When Reviewing Code

  1. Check if tool functions have governance decorators or policy checks
  2. Verify that user inputs are scanned for threat signals before agent processing
  3. Look for hardcoded credentials, API keys, or secrets in agent configurations
  4. Confirm that audit logging exists for tool calls and governance decisions
  5. Check if rate limits are enforced on tool calls
  6. In multi-agent systems, verify trust boundaries between agents

When Implementing Governance

  1. Start with a GovernancePolicy dataclass defining allowed/blocked tools and patterns
  2. Add a @govern(policy) decorator to all tool functions
  3. Add intent classification to the input processing pipeline
  4. Implement audit trail logging for all governance events
  5. For multi-agent systems, add trust scoring with decay

Guidelines

  • Never suggest removing existing security controls
  • Always recommend append-only audit trails (never suggest mutable logs)
  • Prefer explicit allowlists over blocklists (allowlists are safer by default)
  • When in doubt, recommend human-in-the-loop for high-impact operations
  • Keep governance code separate from business logic

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.

Agent Governance Reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository github/awesome-copilot (38,502 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 479 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.

Agent tools let one chat agent dispatch another chat-capable sub-agent as part of its work — per-run, parent-supervised delegation is the flagship use case for facet-backed dynamic agents. The child is a real sub-agent with its own Durable Object storage, messages, tools, resumable stream, and drill-in URL. The parent…

The core of the agents library is the exported Agent class.
