## Quick Start

```python
import asyncio
from agent_os import StatelessKernel, ExecutionContext
from agentmesh import AgentIdentity

# Boot the governance kernel
kernel = StatelessKernel()
ctx = ExecutionContext(agent_id="my-agent", policies=["read_only"])

# Establish zero-trust agent identity
identity = AgentIdentity.create(
    name="my-agent",
    sponsor="alice@company.com",
    capabilities=["read:data", "write:reports"],
)

# Execute a governed action
async def main():
    result = await kernel.execute(
        action="database_query",
        params={"query": "SELECT * FROM users"},
        context=ctx,
    )
    print(f"Success: {result.success}, Data: {result.data}")

asyncio.run(main())
```

### Compliance Grading

Check your governance coverage with a compliance grade:

```python
from agent_compliance.verify import GovernanceVerifier

verifier = GovernanceVerifier()
attestation = verifier.verify()
print(f"Grade: {attestation.compliance_grade()}")  # A, B, C, D, or F
print(f"Coverage: {attestation.coverage_pct()}%")
print(attestation.badge_markdown())
```

Install only what you need:

```bash
# Core: kernel + trust mesh
pip install agent-governance-toolkit

# Full stack: adds runtime + SRE
pip install agent-governance-toolkit[full]

# À la carte
pip install agent-governance-toolkit[runtime]
pip install agent-governance-toolkit[sre]
```

## Components

| Package | Role |
|---------|------|
| **Agent OS** | Policy engine — deterministic action evaluation |
| **AgentMesh** | Trust infrastructure — identity, credentials, protocol bridges |
| **Agent Runtime** | Execution supervisor — rings, sessions, sagas |
| **Agent SRE** | Reliability — SLOs, circuit breakers, chaos testing |
| **Agent Compliance** | Regulatory compliance — GDPR, HIPAA, SOX frameworks *(this package)* |
| **Agent Marketplace** | Plugin lifecycle — discover, install, verify, sign |
| **Agent Lightning** | RL training governance — governed runners, policy rewards |

## Why a Unified Governance Stack?

Running AI agents in production without governance is like deploying microservices without TLS, RBAC, or monitoring. Each layer solves a different problem:

| Concern | Without Governance | With Agent Governance |
|---------|-------------------|----------------------|
| **Security** | Agents call any tool, access any resource | Capability-based permissions, policy enforcement |
| **Trust** | No identity verification between agents | Mutual TLS, trust scores, encrypted channels |
| **Control** | Runaway agents consume unbounded resources | Execution rings, resource limits, kill switches |
| **Reliability** | Silent failures, no observability | SLO enforcement, health checks, incident automation |
| **Compliance** | No audit trail for agent decisions | Immutable audit logs, decision lineage tracking |

**One install. Four layers of protection.**

The meta-package ensures all components are version-compatible and properly integrated. No dependency conflicts, no version mismatches — just a single `pip install` to go from zero to production-grade agent governance.

---

## The Agent Governance Ecosystem

```
agent-governance ─── The meta-package (you are here)
├── agent-os-kernel ─── Governance kernel
├── agentmesh-platform ─── Zero-trust mesh
├── agentmesh-runtime ─── Runtime supervisor (optional)
└── agent-sre ─── Reliability engineering (optional)
```

Each component works standalone, but they're designed to work together. The kernel enforces policy, the mesh secures communication, the runtime controls execution, and SRE keeps everything running.

---

## Examples

See the [`examples/`](examples/) directory for runnable demos:

```bash
# Quick start — boot the governance stack in 30 lines
python examples/quickstart.py

# Full stack — all 4 layers working together
python examples/governed_agent.py
```

---

## Framework Integration

```bash
# LangChain
pip install langchain agent-governance

# CrewAI
pip install crewai agent-governance

# AutoGen
pip install pyautogen agent-governance
```

## 🛡️ OWASP Agentic Top 10 Coverage

The agent governance stack covers **10 of 10** risks from the [OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications (2026)](https://genai.owasp.org/resource/owasp-top-10-for-agentic-applications-for-2026/):

| OWASP Risk | Coverage | Component |
|-----------|----------|-----------|
| Agent Goal Hijack | ✅ | Agent OS — Policy Engine |
| Tool Misuse | ✅ | Agent OS — Capability Sandboxing |
| Identity & Privilege Abuse | ✅ | AgentMesh — DID Identity |
| Supply Chain Vulnerabilities | ✅ | AgentMesh — AI-BOM v2.0 |
| Unexpected Code Execution | ✅ | Agent Runtime — Execution Rings |
| Memory & Context Poisoning | ✅ | Agent OS — VFS + CMVK |
| Insecure Inter-Agent Communication | ✅ | AgentMesh — IATP Protocol |
| Cascading Failures | ✅ | Agent SRE — Circuit Breakers |
| Human-Agent Trust Exploitation | ✅ | Agent OS — Approval Workflows |
| Rogue Agents | ✅ | Agent Runtime — Kill Switch |
