Agent Governance & Execution · Agent Teams

Governed agent teams that work while you sleep

Always-on AI teams on your identity fabric — heartbeats that detect issues, team charters that divide the work, confirmation gates that pause for a human, and proof for every permitted step.

Agent Teams Studio Command Center showing standing teams, a waiting confirmation, and fleet pause, suspend, and kill-switch controls.

Chatbots wait. Operations cannot.

Most agent deployments are reactive: a human opens a chat, asks a question, and hopes the agent remembers context next time. Security teams see API keys, broad tool access, and no kill switch. Operations teams see overnight failures and escalations that arrived too late.

Agent Teams inverts the model: proactive, scheduled, governed autonomy — agents that monitor on a cadence, surface issues with context, hand off between roles in a team charter, and stop at confirmation gates before high-risk actions.

The model proposes, the platform decides, humans confirm, auditors verify.

Three moments on one fabric

Agent Hub gives an agent a badge. Agent Teams gives it a shift, a crew, and a supervisor sign-off.

1 · Register

Agent Hub

OAuth identity, delegation, discovery — every agent becomes a governed subject with an accountable owner.

2 · Deploy

Agent Teams Studio

Start from a template, define the team charter — roles, systems, approval model — and set the cadence.

3 · Operate

Studio + runtime

Heartbeats, runs, approvals, collaboration, receipts — with fleet health and stop controls in one desk.

More than automation. Governed agent operations.

Four capabilities, one platform — each enforced by the runtime, none delegated to a prompt.

Heartbeat

  • Always-on scheduler, built for scale
  • Right-sized model per check
  • Skip rules run before any model call

Team

  • Durable charter — roles, systems, approvals
  • Authority backed by the identity graph
  • Staged runs with recorded handoffs

Confirm

  • Gates stop execution, not just warn
  • Preview shows action, authority, expiry
  • Approvals expire — never default to yes

Prove

  • Signed receipts for permitted actions
  • One governance timeline per team
  • Same evidence shape as human access

The model proposes. The platform owns the lifecycle.

In Agent Teams, the model produces content — drafts, classifications, summaries, plans. The platform owns the operating state: schedules, stage advancement, schema validation, approvals, retries, receipts. A probabilistic model is never the authority over what runs next.

That's the difference between an agent framework where the model drives control flow unchecked — and an operations platform your security team can defend. Model behavior can evolve without changing what waiting, approved, failed, or stopped means.

Runs on the fabric your identities already trust

Agent Teams doesn't re-implement governance inside a prompt. Model calls go through the LLM Gateway, tool calls through the MCP Gateway, execution through the Orchestration Service — the same identity, policy, credential, and evidence services that govern your workforce.

Model calls

LLM Gateway

Every model invocation authorized first — identity, delegation, intent, budget.

Tool calls

MCP Gateway

Governed tool discovery and execution — schema integrity, parameters, delegated access.

Learn more →

Execution

Orchestration + Local Worker

Native enterprise work under confirmation gates; device-level steps run signed envelopes with the same governance trail.

Shared policy plane with LLM Gateway, MCP Gateway, and orchestration for Agent Teams.

Agents receive data, never OAuth secrets — downstream credentials are brokered by the execution path.

Standing teams your operators deploy from templates

Standing reliability team

Watchtower template monitors platform health on a heartbeat — every sweep is a governed run with provenance.

Escalation commander

Multi-system customer escalation: detect → brief → plan → confirm → act, with a human at the consequential step.

Ops & sprint digest

Scheduled team run summarizes Jira and M365 sprint state and posts the digest — template-driven, charter-bound.

Identity governance

Ambiguous identity resolution becomes a waiting task on the same spine as IGA — not a separate agent stack.

Not a copilot builder. Not a chat wrapper.

Conversational app builders make chat experiences inside one suite. Developer agent loops run on personal trust and API keys. Agent Teams runs cross-system, governed operations — and it's built on the identity platform that already governs your workforce.

  • 1

    Always-on heartbeats — scheduled operations, not session-bound chat.

  • 2

    Team charters with graph authority — not ad-hoc multi-agent prompts.

  • 3

    Confirmation gates at the platform boundary — not in-process guardrails a prompt can route around.

  • 4

    Dual enforcement points — model and tool calls governed separately on one policy plane.

Built for regulated enterprises

Every control your security team will ask about is a platform property, not a prompt instruction — and every one of them is revocable, auditable, and testable.

PropertyWhat it means for you
Delegation-scoped agentsAuthority narrows and expires — revocable like any human grant
Zero token returnAgents receive data, not OAuth secrets
