agent-governance SKILL.md skillA
agent-governance from okhp3/skillz is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add okhp3/skillz/agent-governance@git:20260828.866dec6Pins git:20260828.866dec6 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Patterns and techniques for adding governance, safety, and trust controls to AI agent systems. Use this skill when: - Building AI agents that call external tools (APIs, databases, file systems) - Implementing policy-based access controls for agent tool usage - Adding semantic intent classification to detect dangerous prompts - Creating trust scoring systems for multi-agent workflows - Building audit trails for agent actions and decisions - Enforcing rate limits, content filters, or tool…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Agent Governance Patterns
Patterns for adding safety, trust, and policy enforcement to AI agent systems.
## Overview
Governance patterns ensure AI agents operate within defined boundaries — controlling which tools they can call, what content they can process, how much they can do, and maintaining accountability through audit trails.
```
User Request → Intent Classification → Policy Check → Tool Execution → Audit Log

Threat Detection Allow/Deny Trust Update
```
## When to Use
- **Agents with tool access**: Any agent that calls external tools (APIs, databases, shell commands)
- **Multi-agent systems**: Agents delegating to other agents need trust boundaries
- **Production deployments**: Compliance, audit, and safety requirements
- **Sensitive operations**: Financial transactions, data access, infrastructure management
---
## Pattern 1: Governance Policy
Define what an agent is allowed to do as a composable, serializable policy object.
```python
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from enum import Enum
from typing import Optional
import re
class PolicyAction(Enum):

How to install
mdr add okhp3/skillz/agent-governance@sha256:efc0abaa0dff7d55The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260828.866dec6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
