Governance Plane
The layer of the AI stack that enforces policy across identity, models, tools, retrieval, and logs.
What is Governance Plane?
A governance plane is what turns a collection of agents into a controllable enterprise system. It is not a reporting dashboard added later; it is the runtime that decides who can do what, with which model, on which data. See AI Agent Governance.
