Agent Control Plane

A centralized layer for deploying, operating, monitoring, and governing many agents across an organization.

Plain English

It is the admin and policy surface for an agent fleet, not the agent doing the work.

Example

An enterprise control plane inventories agents, applies shared policies, manages tool access, tracks spend, and surfaces traces for review.

Why it matters

As teams ship many agents across frameworks and departments, governance and observability need to move from one-off prompts into shared infrastructure.
