// governance infrastructure for AI agents

flux7

Four projects that form one system for policy enforcement, governed memory, automated evaluation and human oversight.

01

The problem

AI agents call tools, and tools have consequences. An agent with access to your filesystem, email, database, and cloud APIs is one hallucination away from an irreversible action.

The current answer is either trust everything (dangerous) or approve everything manually (doesn't scale). Between "allow all" and "human in the loop for every call," there's a gap with no standard infrastructure to fill it.

flux7 fills that gap with a layered governance system that handles the routine automatically and escalates the ambiguous to humans.

Architecture

L0  flux7-mesh          Policy engine             allow / deny / escalate    <1ms
     │
     │  pending approval
     ▼
L1  flux7-mesh          Memory lookup             read, 3+ human yes → allow ~100ms
     │
     │  novel case
     ▼
L1+ flux7-supervisor    Rules + decision model    approve / deny / escalate  ~350ms
     │
     │  uncertain
     ▼
L2  Human               Console UI / Claude Code  final decision             minutes
     │
     ▼
    flux7-memory         Decisions as facts        remembered for next time

Each layer reduces the load on the next. Most tool calls never reach a human.

The system

Progressive adoption

Day 1
flux7-mesh
Policies, tracing, approval queue. Five minutes from install to first governed tool call.
Day 30
+ flux7-memory
Persistent memory, decision history; reads a human approved 3 times are approved on their own, writes always ask.
Day 45
+ flux7-supervisor
Automated evaluation in a few hundred milliseconds, reduced approval fatigue, measured judgment for novel cases.
Day 60
+ flux7-console
Dashboard, team approval UI, policy and grant management, trace integrity.

Each step is independently valuable. No project requires the others to function.

How it compares

Cloud agent platforms MCP / AI gateways In-process middleware flux7
Examples AWS AgentCore, Gemini Enterprise, Microsoft Agent 365 Kong AI Gateway, agentgateway Microsoft AGT, LangSmith mesh7, mem7, sup7, console
Scope Agents in that cloud Any MCP client over HTTP Agents in that process or framework Any MCP client, stdio and HTTP, plus REST
Tool policy Deterministic, in their perimeter Per tool, from token identity and scopes In the agent's code Per agent and per tool, on the arguments
Human approval Built in the application Not at the gateway Escalate verdict, wired by you Approval queue outside the agent, stdio included
Past decisions Current session None None Human precedents kept as facts, across sessions
Automated judgment Guardrails on model traffic Guardrail plugins on LLM routes Policy and trust scoring Rules, then a decision model with measured thresholds
Self-hosted No Yes (enterprise licence for some) Yes Yes, Apache 2.0, single binary

Snapshot of September 2026; this field moves every week. Gateways and flux7 compose rather than compete: a gateway checks who calls which tool, and flux7 judges the call itself. The Keycloak and Kong example runs mesh7 behind a Kong node.
