Agentic Governance Component

Infrastructure-level content policy enforcement for agentic systems.

Overview

The governance component intercepts agentic messages and applies a configurable filter chain for:

  • PII Redaction - Detect and redact emails, SSNs, credit cards, API keys
  • Injection Detection - Block prompt injection and jailbreak attempts
  • Content Moderation - Enforce content policies (harmful, illegal)
  • Rate Limiting - Token bucket throttling per user/session/global

Architecture

User Input → Dispatch → [Governance] → Loop → Model → [Governance] → Response
                              ↓                            ↓
                        governance.violation.*       (validate output)

The component implements the "outer loop" pattern from ADR-016, where governance is enforced at the infrastructure layer rather than delegated to agents.

NATS Subjects

Inputs (subscribe):

  • agent.task.* - User task requests
  • agent.request.* - Outgoing model requests
  • agent.response.* - Incoming model responses

Outputs (publish):

  • agent.task.validated.* - Approved tasks
  • agent.request.validated.* - Approved requests
  • agent.response.validated.* - Approved responses
  • governance.violation.* - Policy violations
  • user.response.* - Error notifications

Deployment

Phase 1: Observation Mode

Deploy with log_only policy to observe without blocking:

{
  "filter_chain": {
    "policy": "log_only"
  }
}
Phase 2: Enable Blocking

Switch to fail_fast after tuning thresholds:

{
  "filter_chain": {
    "policy": "fail_fast"
  }
}

Overview

Package agenticgovernance provides a governance layer processor component that enforces content policies, PII redaction, injection detection, and rate limiting for agentic message flows.

Package agenticgovernance provides a governance layer processor component that enforces content policies for agentic systems. This component implements infrastructure-level policy enforcement following the "Two Agentic Loops" pattern, where governance is enforced at the outer infrastructure layer rather than delegated to agents themselves.

Architecture

The governance component intercepts agentic messages and applies a configurable filter chain before forwarding validated messages to downstream components:

User Input → Dispatch → [Governance] → Loop → Model → [Governance] → Response

Filters

The filter chain includes:

  • PII Redaction: Detects and redacts personally identifiable information (emails, phone numbers, SSNs, credit cards, API keys)
  • Injection Detection: Blocks prompt injection and jailbreak attempts
  • Content Moderation: Enforces content policies (harmful, illegal content)
  • Rate Limiting: Token bucket throttling per user/session/global

NATS Subjects

Input subjects (intercept):

  • agent.task.* - User task requests
  • agent.request.* - Outgoing model requests
  • agent.response.* - Incoming model responses

Output subjects (publish):

  • agent.task.validated.* - Approved tasks
  • agent.request.validated.* - Approved requests
  • agent.response.validated.* - Approved responses
  • governance.violation.* - Policy violations
  • user.response.* - Error notifications

Configuration

Example configuration:

{
  "filter_chain": {
    "policy": "fail_fast",
    "filters": [
      {
        "name": "pii_redaction",
        "enabled": true,
        "pii_config": {
          "types": ["email", "phone", "ssn"],
          "strategy": "label"
        }
      },
      {
        "name": "injection_detection",
        "enabled": true
      }
    ]
  },
  "violations": {
    "store": "GOVERNANCE_VIOLATIONS",
    "notify_user": true
  }
}

Violation Policies

  • fail_fast: Stop at first violation (default)
  • continue: Run all filters, collect all violations
  • log_only: Log violations but allow all content through

Usage

import agenticgovernance "github.com/c360studio/semstreams/processor/agentic-governance"

// Register with component registry
err := agenticgovernance.Register(registry)
