Problem & risk
Every millisecond matters on hot paths. You need predictable overhead, clear failure modes, and patterns that fit banking cores, industrial gateways, and edge robotics controllers alike.
Regulatory context
Architecture reviews often ask for trust boundaries and data minimization, TrigGuard's receipts and separation of duties support those narratives.1
- See API reference and architecture for diagrams.
Solution
Use the execution API for synchronous decisions; SDKs for in-process enforcement; policy sync from Git for deterministic rollouts. Measure latency in your environment with our benchmarks pack.
- HTTP API and language SDKs
- Policy-as-code and staged rollout
- Observability hooks (metrics, traces)
Integration points
Reference patterns: sidecar at the mesh edge, inline library in agent runtimes, standalone gateway for OT/industrial buses via adapters.
Execution surfaces in integration architecture
Platform teams search for release gates, gateways, and agent runtimes. This section maps those integration shapes to the same governance cluster used on sector pages, without adding new routes.
- CI/CD and release promotion Pipelines that apply infra or app changes need authorization before production mutates. Pre-execution authorization and fail-closed defaults match how teams already think about blast radius.
- Infrastructure-as-code apply paths Terraform or Kubernetes apply hooks are execution surfaces. Fail-closed AI systems ensure denied plans never reach the API.
- API gateways and mesh egress Central policy at the edge should align to the same PERMIT/DENY/SILENCE semantics as agents. Policy enforcement engine is the consolidation point.
- Data and batch jobs with side effects Schedulers that move money, PII, or production data need repeatable decisions. Deterministic authorization binds batch runs to policy versions.
- Multi-tenant agent platforms Shared runtimes amplify cross-tenant risk when tools are broad. AI agent safety is the primary spoke for bounded tool use and escalation.
- Observability and automated remediation Playbooks that act on alerts can over-correct. Pair automation with AI decision verification so responders can trust what executed.
