Autonomy That Adjusts to Trust
A static allow/deny list can’t tell a proven agent from a brand-new one. The Trust Governor is a live control plane that grants more autonomy to agents with a strong track record and tightens the leash the moment trust drops.
Illustrative product view
Earned, not assigned
Trust in a person grows with a track record; it should work the same for agents. Adaptive Autonomy ties an agent’s permitted freedom to its live trust level, so a proven agent operates with less friction and a shaky one is held to step-up checks - automatically, as behavior changes, without an admin editing a policy each time.
How it pairs with the decision fabric
Adaptive Autonomy sets how much latitude an agent has; the decision fabric still decides each individual action within that latitude. Together they give you both a moving trust boundary and a per-action verdict, every one of which is written to the Decision Ledger.
Frequently asked questions
What is adaptive autonomy?
It is a live control plane - the Trust Governor - that adjusts how much autonomy an agent has based on its current trust level, granting more freedom to proven agents and less to risky ones.
How is it different from a static allow/deny list?
A static list treats every agent the same forever. Adaptive autonomy responds to behavior: trust rises with clean runs and falls after anomalies, and permitted autonomy moves with it automatically.
Does it replace per-action decisions?
No. It sets the boundary; the decision fabric still returns a verdict for each individual action inside that boundary, and both are logged.
What makes trust go down?
Anomalies and risky behavior lower an agent’s trust, which narrows its autonomy and raises the bar - for example forcing step-up on writes - until it re-earns trust.
