Aegis: Runtime Governance for Agentic AI Prevents Harmful Side Effects

Aegis is a runtime governance system for agentic AI that treats model outputs as action proposals and mediates them through a trusted decision layer before tool execution, preventing harmful side effects.

Prompt governance shapes model behavior but doesn't create an execution boundary. Aegis adds a trusted execution layer that fails closed under uncertainty, providing extra protection against harmful actions.

Yes, especially for sensitive sectors like banking, energy, and government, where unintended side effects of agentic AI can cause operational harm. Aegis provides an extra safety layer before deployment.
