Problem Statement
Microsoft recently released the open-source AI Agent Governance Toolkit (AGT) (MIT licensed). It provides deterministic policy enforcement (YAML / OPA-Rego / Cedar) with ”< 0.1 ms per action”, zero-trust A2A identity (Ed25519 + quantum-safe ML-DSA-65), 4-tier privilege rings, OWASP-Agentic-10 compliance verification, and signed-plugin trust gating. It ships integrations for MAF, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, LangGraph/LangChain, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents SDK, Google ADK, LlamaIndex, Haystack, and Dify… Strands is not on the list.
Today, Strands users who need OWASP Agentic coverage, per-tool deny policies, or auditable evidence trails (EU AI Act / NIST AI RMF / SOC 2) have to hand-roll it inside hook callbacks. Every team reinvents the same policy, audit, and identity plumbing.
Proposed Solution
A first-party strands-agents-governance adapter (or a Strands entry in AGT’s adapter set) that wires into Strands’ existing extension points.
Use Case
- Regulated multi-tenant deployments (e.g. agents on Bedrock AgentCore): deterministic per-tenant deny policies on tool calls, not left to model judgement. Clevvi has agents running in AgentCore that will require this functionality.
- Multi-agent A2A security: Strands apps using A2AServer today have no story for agent identity or trust scoring.
- Compliance evidence: portable OWASP-10 / EU AI Act / SOC 2 attestations via agt verify without rebuilding per-framework.
- Supply-chain trust for Strands tool ecosystems: signed-plugin gating at registration time.
