Enterprise AI Workflow Patterns: Autonomy vs Control
Choose between single inference, fully autonomous agents, deterministic workflows, and guided hybrid agents. Comparison matrix, JSON contracts, and when to escalate from one call to a full agent.
Policy
Enforcement boundaries, guardrails, and where policy lives in the AI stack.
One Agent with Routes vs Specialized Agents: When to Split
Enterprise agent architecture: when a shared runtime with governed routes is enough, and when different execution boundaries require specialized agents.
Agent Identity: Who Is Asking vs Which Software Is Acting
User identity answers who is asking; agent identity answers which software is acting. Least privilege, audit, revoke, and dual gateway checks for real-time and batch.
Retrieval Is a Governed Action
Retrieval is not a database query; it is a governed action. How Policy-Governed Agent Runtime applies to RAG when context construction must be scoped, auditable, and enforced before inference.
Policy-Governed Agent Runtime
Proposal is not permission. Agents propose tool calls; governance decides whether they run. An architecture breakdown of runtime trust boundaries for production agent systems in regulated industries.
