The Problem

Every major agent framework ships without the things enterprises actually need:

LangGraph  → "very low-level, focused entirely on agent orchestration"  (their words)
AutoGen    → Studio "not meant to be used in a production environment"   (their docs)
CrewAI     → no idempotency guard — payments fire twice on task retry    (production bug)
AWS Bedrock → audit logging disabled by default                          (verified)
MS Foundry  → SLA enforcement: ❌  (117 adversarially-verified claims)

WIRE fixes every gap. Without replacing your framework.

30-second demo

import wire

# 1. Describe the workforce in plain language
workforce = wire.hire("""
    Monitor AWS costs every hour.
    Detect anomalies over $500.
    Open a Jira P1 if budget exceeded.
    Escalate to #ops-channel if no human responds in 30 minutes.
""")

# See what was assembled — readable by non-engineers
print(workforce.describe())
# WorkforceGraph
#   Intent : Monitor AWS costs every hour...
#   Roles  : 4  ·  Source: rule (confidence 87%)
#
#   ├─ cost_monitor      (monitoring)  SLA: max 120s, max $0.05  risk=low
#   ├─ anomaly_detector  (monitoring)  SLA: max 60s              risk=medium
#   ├─ ticket_creator    (execution)   [idempotent]              risk=medium
#   └─ human_escalator   (governance)  SLA: max 1800s            risk=high

# 2. Deploy on any framework with full governance
governed = wire.deploy(
    my_langgraph_graph,            # or CrewAI, AutoGen, OpenAI, Foundry
    backend="langgraph",
    max_iterations=50,             # LoopGuard: halt before runaway
    max_cost_usd=1.0,              # Budget: hard $1 ceiling
    hourly_budget_usd=0.25,        # Budget: $0.25/hour rolling
    audit_path="wire-audit.jsonl", # AuditChain: tamper-proof log
)

# 3. Subscribe to events
@governed.on(wire.EventKind.LOOP_BREACH)
async def alert(event):
    print(f"🚨 Loop breach: {event.data['iterations']} iterations")

# 4. Run
result = await governed.ainvoke({"messages": [...]})

# 5. Verify audit integrity
count = wire.AuditChain.verify("wire-audit.jsonl")
# ✓ 47 entries · chain intact · no tampering detected

---

Live Dashboard

wire dashboard --port 8080 --audit wire-audit.jsonl
# Opens http://localhost:8080 — live workforce status for engineers and executives

The GIF above shows: HIRE assembling a workforce from plain language → wire audit verifying the tamper-proof chain → wire replay rewinding a past run step-by-step.

What WIRE Adds

Primitive	What it does	Problem it solves
LoopGuard	Halts at N iterations or $X cost	Runaway agents exhausting API quota
AuditChain	SHA-256 hash-linked tamper-proof log	Mutable/unsigned logs — compliance blocker
Budget	Hard hourly/daily/total cost ceilings	Surprise API bills
HITLGate	First-class human approval with Slack routing	HITL re-implemented per project
IdempotencyGuard	Content-addressed dedup (Memory/SQLite/Redis/Postgres)	Payments/tickets firing twice on retry
SLATracker	Response time + cost + confidence enforcement	No SLA primitive in any framework or cloud
PolicyEnforcer	Read-only roles cannot write	No authority scope enforcement
wire.hire()	Plain-language → workforce assembly	Engineering required to configure agents
WorkforceDashboard	Live terminal + web UI	Black-box agents, no visibility
DriftDetector	Cross-session behavioural drift alerts	Silent behaviour changes after context compression
TimeTravel	Replay any past run from audit chain	No post-hoc debugging in any framework
CompliancePreset	SOC-2 / HIPAA / GDPR / NIST AI RMF in one line	Manual compliance configuration
RBACPolicy	Who can deploy, approve, audit	No access control on agent operations
TenantRegistry	Isolated namespaces per team/org	Multi-tenant agent governance

---

Adapters

Same wire.deploy() API across all five frameworks:

# LangGraph
wire.deploy(compiled_graph,    backend="langgraph")

# CrewAI — fixes the documented double-fire bug on task retry
wire.deploy(crew,              backend="crewai")

# AutoGen — replaces unstable UserProxyAgent HITL blocking
wire.deploy({"a": agent, "p": proxy}, backend="autogen")

# OpenAI Agents SDK
wire.deploy(agent,             backend="openai")

# Microsoft Foundry — adds SLA + audit + idempotency Foundry lacks natively
wire.deploy(
    {"endpoint": "https://...", "agent_id": "asst_...", "credential": cred},
    backend="foundry",
)

---

Durable Idempotency

Works across restarts and distributed deployments:

from wire.core.idempotency_backends import SQLiteBackend, RedisBackend, PostgresBackend

# Survives restarts — single node
guard = wire.IdempotencyGuard(backend=SQLiteBackend("wire-idempotency.db"))

# Distributed — multi-process, multi-node, TTL expiry
guard = wire.IdempotencyGuard(backend=RedisBackend("redis://localhost:6379"))

# Enterprise — multi-tenant, SQL query, row-level security
guard = wire.IdempotencyGuard(backend=PostgresBackend(dsn="postgresql://...", tenant_id="team-a"))

---

HITL — Slack Routing

gate = wire.HITLGate(
    channel="slack:#ops-approvals",    # posts to Slack, waits for button click
    slack_token="xoxb-...",            # or set SLACK_BOT_TOKEN env var
    timeout_minutes=30,
    timeout_action=wire.TimeoutAction.ESCALATE,
)

# In your agent:
decision = await gate.request(
    run_id=run_id,
    message="Approve Jira P1 for $847 AWS anomaly?",
    context={"amount": 847, "region": "us-east-1"},
    risk=wire.Risk.HIGH,
)

Slack receives a rich Block Kit message with approve/reject/modify buttons. WIRE polls for the response and returns the decision with full audit trail.

---

HIRE — Semantic Matching

Three-stage pipeline, no LLM cost on the happy path:

1. Rule-based   (keyword matching — fast, free, deterministic)
2. Semantic     (SBERT cosine similarity — if sentence-transformers installed)
3. LLM fallback (Claude haiku — only when confidence < threshold)

# Synchronous — rule-based only, zero cost
workforce = wire.hire("monitor our AWS costs and open Jira on breach")

# Async — full three-stage pipeline
workforce = await wire.hire_async(
    "watch for unusual spend patterns in our cloud infrastructure",
    use_semantic=True,   # SBERT tier (pip install wire-ai[semantic])
    force_llm=False,
)

---

Enterprise

from wire.enterprise.compliance import CompliancePreset
from wire.enterprise.rbac import RBACPolicy, Actor, Permission
from wire.enterprise.multitenancy import Tenant, TenantRegistry
from wire.enterprise.blueprints import AgentBlueprint, BlueprintRegistry

# SOC-2 preset — auto-configures retention, encryption, HITL requirements
wire.deploy(graph, backend="langgraph",
            compliance=CompliancePreset.SOC2)

# RBAC — engineers deploy, managers approve, security reads audit
policy = RBACPolicy.default()
actor  = Actor(id="[e-mail]", groups=["wire-engineers"])
policy.require(actor, Permission.DEPLOY)   # passes
policy.require(actor, Permission.APPROVE_HITL)  # → PermissionDeniedError

# Multi-tenancy — isolated per team
registry = TenantRegistry()
registry.register(Tenant(id="team-vayu", name="Team Vayu", budget_daily_usd=10.0))

# Foundry agent identity blueprints
blueprints = BlueprintRegistry()
blueprints.register(AgentBlueprint(
    id="cost-monitor-v1",
    name="AWS Cost Monitor Agent",
    allowed_roles=["wire-engineers"],
    compliance_preset="soc2",
))

---

Plugins

from wire.plugins.agentlens_plugin import AgentLensPlugin
from wire.plugins.tokmon_plugin import TokmonPlugin

registry = wire.get_plugin_registry()
registry.register(AgentLensPlugin(api_url="http://localhost:8080"))
registry.register(TokmonPlugin(session_name="prod-run", budget_usd=5.0))

# All adapters emit automatically — zero code changes in agent logic

---

Compliance Presets

Preset	Retention	HITL Required For	Min Confidence	Data Restriction
SOC2	365 days	HIGH, CRITICAL	75%	—
HIPAA	6 years	MEDIUM+	90%	US only · PHI prohibited
GDPR	3 years	HIGH, CRITICAL	80%	EU only · PII prohibited
NIST_AI	2 years	HIGH, CRITICAL	80%	—

wire.CompliancePreset.SOC2.summary()
# Compliance Preset: SOC-2 Type II
#   Audit retention  : 365 days
#   Encrypt at rest  : True
#   HITL required for: high, critical
#   Min confidence   : 75%
