The platform sits between AI agents and real-world systems, blocking unauthorized actions in under 20 milliseconds and generating cryptographically signed audit logs. Execlave addresses compliance risks from prompt injection and ungoverned agent behavior, offering tiered autonomy governance and real-time cost controls.", "body_md": "§ 00 / THE ENFORCEMENT LAYER\n\nSystem online — < 20 ms enforcementV. 2026.04 / EXECLAVE\n\n# Execlave — AI Agent Management Platform (AMP) for governance & enforcement\n\n§ 00.1 — Statement\n\nExeclave is the enforcement infrastructure that sits between your AI agents and the real world — making sure they cannot do anything your company hasn’t explicitly allowed, and generating the proof that they didn’t.\n\n§ 00.2 — At a glance\n\n- p50 enforcement\n- < 20 ms\n- Policy types\n- 19\n- Frameworks\n- 7\n- Kill-switch\n- < 15 ms\n\nEvery action emits the same hash-chained record your compliance team receives in production\n\n## Execlave by the numbers\n\n§ 01 / By the numbers\n\nMeasured in production-like workloads\n\n## Execlave by the numbers.\n\n§ 02 / The risk you can't see\n\n## Your AI agents are one prompt away from doing something you’ll *regret.*\n\nMost teams ship AI agents without any layer between the model’s output and the systems it can touch. That’s not a bug — that’s the default. Without AI agent governance, the default is zero control.\n\n## The risk you can’t see\n\nAttack / Prompt injection\n\nYour customer support agent receives a ticket:\n\nThe verdict / At the gate\n\nWithout an enforcement layer, the agent will try. Your audit log won’t tell you why. Your auditor will ask you to prove it didn’t happen. You won’t be able to.\n\nAnd if the breach doesn’t get you, the audit will:\n\n- Q. 01\n\"Walk me through who is allowed to call which tools, for which agents, and under which conditions.\"\n\n- Q. 02\n\"Pull the audit log for every action this agent took on customer data in the last 90 days. I'll wait.\"\n\n- Q. 03\n\"Show me the moment a human approved this agent's last 10 high-impact decisions.\"\n\nMost teams cannot answer any of these. Auditors know.\n\n§ 03 / Runtime enforcement\n\n## Runtime policy enforcement — a gate, *not a log.*\n\nEvery agent action is checked against your policies before anything reaches the real world — in milliseconds.\n\n## Execution flow with Execlave installed\n\n// Execution flow with Execlave installed\n\nt = 0ms ────────▶ t ≈ 25ms\n\n01 / intent\n\nAgent decides to act\n\ne.g. query database\n\n02 / enforcement\n\nExeclave enforcement\n\nsemantic check · policy eval · audit\n\n~3–25 ms\n\n03 / outcomes\n\n- ✓Allowed — proceedsPASS\n- ❚❚Paused — human reviewsHOLD\n- ✗Blocked — stops hereDENY\n\n04 / record\n\nAudit log entry\n\ncryptographically signed\n\n§ 04 / How it works\n\n## From zero to governed *in minutes.*\n\nThree steps, minutes to ship.\n\n## How it works\n\n01 / Instrument\n\n### Add three lines *to your agent.*\n\nAdd 3 lines to your agent code.

Searchable timeline with session grouping and parent-child span trees.\n\n§ 06 / AI Agent Management Platform\n\n## Beyond enforcement. *The full control plane.*\n\nExeclave is an AI Agent Management Platform (AMP): the six controls enterprises need to manage autonomous agents in production — available today.\n\n## AI Agent Management Platform capabilities\n\n- 01 / Capability\n### Tiered autonomy governance\n\nAssign every agent an autonomy level — observe, advise, act-with-approval, or autonomous — and auto-apply the recommended policy bundle for that tier. Drift detection flags when an agent outgrows its guardrails.\n\n- 02 / Capability\n### Real-time cost circuit breaker\n\nSynchronous spend caps per org, agent, user, or workspace across 1m/1h/1d/1mo windows — enforced in the policy path, not reconciled after the bill. Burn-rate alerts fire before a budget is breached.\n\n- 03 / Capability\n### Agent registry & lifecycle\n\nInventory every agent with a lifecycle state, immutable version history, diffing, and one-click rollback. Shadow-agent detection surfaces agents calling your API without registration.\n\n- 04 / Capability\n### Permission-drift detection\n\nBaseline each agent’s tools, data sources, and permissions, then catch privilege escalation, anomalous access to sensitive or PII data, and unused over-privileged permissions.\n\n- 05 / Capability\n### Eval-to-policy suggestions\n\nTurn detected anomalies, violation patterns, and eval failures into proposed policies with confidence scoring. Accept, modify-and-accept, or reject — nothing is ever auto-enforced.\n\n- 06 / Capability\n### Data-access lineage\n\nRecord what classes of data — public, internal, confidential, PII, PHI, PCI — each agent touched, with an auto-classifier, GDPR subject-access queries, and PII-by-agent reporting.\n\n§ 06 / Deployment\n\n## Run Execlave in our cloud. *Or run it in yours.*\n\nSame product.
