agentgovern 0.1.0b6

Compliance-as-code middleware for agentic AI workflows.

AgentGovern Python SDK

Compliance-as-code for agentic AI workflows.

Beta — API may change before 1.0. Report issues.

AgentGovern intercepts AI agent actions, evaluates them against configurable compliance policies (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001), and generates audit-ready evidence — in real-time. This SDK instruments your LangChain, CrewAI, or OpenAI Agents code with minimal changes.

Install

pip install agentgovern

Quickstart — LangChain

import agentgovern
from langchain.agents import AgentExecutor, create_openai_tools_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

# 1. Initialize once at startup
agentgovern.init(
    api_key="ag_prod_...",           # from https://agentgovern.zirahn.com/settings/api-keys
    base_url="https://agentgovern.zirahn.com",
    environment="development",       # "production" | "staging" | "development"
)

# 2. Register your agent
agentgovern.register_agent(
    external_id="credit-scoring-v2",
    name="Credit Scoring Agent v2",
    framework="langchain",
)

# 3. Get the callback handler — binds to credit-scoring-v2 automatically
handler = agentgovern.instrument_langchain()

# 4. Pass it to your AgentExecutor — no other changes needed
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o")
agent = create_openai_tools_agent(llm, tools, prompt)
executor = AgentExecutor(agent=agent, tools=tools, callbacks=[handler])

result = executor.invoke({"input": "Evaluate loan application for customer #12345"})

instrument_langchain() binds to the most recently registered agent. Every tool call, LLM invocation, and agent step is captured, evaluated against your compliance policies, and visible in the dashboard.

Multiple agents in one process

If you run more than one agent in the same process, pass the agent ID explicitly to avoid ambiguity:

agentgovern.register_agent("fraud-detector", name="Fraud Detector")
agentgovern.register_agent("kyc-agent", name="KYC Agent")

handler_fraud = agentgovern.instrument_langchain("fraud-detector")
handler_kyc   = agentgovern.instrument_langchain("kyc-agent")

fraud_executor = AgentExecutor(agent=..., tools=..., callbacks=[handler_fraud])
kyc_executor   = AgentExecutor(agent=..., tools=..., callbacks=[handler_kyc])

Manual instrumentation (all frameworks)

from agentgovern.types import ActionType, ActionStatus

agentgovern.track_action(
    agent_external_id="my-agent-id",
    action_type=ActionType.TOOL_CALL,
    action_name="fetch_credit_bureau_data",
    status=ActionStatus.COMPLETED,
    duration_ms=312,
    input_payload={"bureau": "experian", "customer_id": "..."},
    output_payload={"fico_score": 720},
)

Supported frameworks

Framework	Auto-instrumentation	Status
LangChain	instrument_langchain() — wraps tool and LLM callbacks	Stable
CrewAI	Manual via track_action()	Beta
OpenAI Agents API	Manual via track_action()	Beta

Auto-instrumentation for CrewAI and OpenAI Agents is on the roadmap.

Compliance frameworks

Framework	Status
EU AI Act (High-Risk Systems)	Available
NIST AI RMF	Coming soon
ISO 42001	Coming soon

Enable policy packs from the AgentGovern dashboard.

Configuration

Parameter	Default	Description
api_key	required	SDK ingest key from the dashboard
base_url	https://agentgovern.zirahn.com	API endpoint
environment	"production"	"production" | "staging" | "development"
fail_silently	True	If True, SDK errors never raise into your agent

Design guarantees

• track_action() returns in < 5 ms — all I/O is async in a background thread
• Buffer cap: 10,000 actions; oldest dropped when full
• Retry: 3 attempts with exponential backoff (1 s → 30 s max)
• If AgentGovern is unreachable, your agent continues unaffected
