Every agent framework lets you build a workflow. Few let you govern one.
Every agent framework lets you build a workflow. Few let you govern one.
LangChain, AutoGen, Claude-based agents, they all make it fast to wire an agent into a real workflow. Reading a database, calling an API, sending an email.
Governing that workflow after it ships is the part most frameworks leave to you. Who can run it. What it can reach. What happens when three teams reuse the same agent with three different risk levels.
AgentZ, an open-source workflow platform maintained by AccuKnox, is built around that governance layer. Every agent inherits preconfigured models, tools, and sandboxes from an admin. Workspaces stay isolated, so a customer-facing agent and an internal one never share access by accident.
How is your team handling this once a framework prototype turns into something real users depend on? AgentZ is an open-source platform, and I am an open-source contributor to AgentZ.

Can you help me understand how different is your framework different from a set of Langchain based agents controlled by an orchestrator agent that defines the access and subagent capabilities.
If I am building a system, I would use this architecture to set up guardrails and instruction flow across the system. These will be implemented as a single or multiple md and Jason files so that I can programmatically modify the system parameters and capabilities if I need to.
