Agent Governance Overview

Orlo governs agentic execution step by step without becoming an agent runtime.

What Orlo governs

  • agent sessions
  • governed step envelopes
  • tool permission checks
  • runtime limits
  • approvals
  • event timelines and live event streams
  • trace samples and trace review
  • trajectory results and step-level path metrics

What Orlo returns

At the API layer, Orlo can return:

  • policy decisions for individual steps
  • approval requirements and timeout behavior
  • citations and retrieval evidence
  • state change evidence
  • session-level trajectory results
  • step-level trajectory metrics

Why this matters

This lets teams do more than validate final text. They can review whether an agent:

  • used the right tools
  • respected approval boundaries
  • changed state safely
  • retrieved relevant context
  • followed an acceptable path to the outcome

Scope boundaries

Orlo does not own:

  • planning loops
  • workflow orchestration
  • long-lived agent memory systems
  • general-purpose tool execution runtime

Adoption model

The most important developer surface is the SDK and adapter layer, but the machine interface remains the Platform API.
