AI Agent Governance Explained

From intent to audit: Skillgate, Decision Runtime, Gatekeeper, and timelines for governing production AI agents.

AI agent governance is how an organization controls what agents may intend, decide, and execute.

HazelJS maps the path:

Agent → Intent → Decision / Policy → Gatekeeper → Tool → Audit

Stage	HazelJS component
Capabilities	Skillgate (OpenAPI → curated skills)
Closed-set judgment	Decision Runtime (`@hazeljs/decision`)
Authorization	Agent Gatekeeper
Packaging	Agent DNA policies
Audit	AgentRun timelines / `hazel logs`

Important: confidence never means permission. Decision Runtime informs policy; Gatekeeper still authorizes side effects.
