Definition
An agent control plane is a runtime governance layer that discovers AI agents and enforces approve / redirect / block policies on their actions before they reach downstream systems — complementary to identity-layer itdr.
Key Points
- Vendors: onyx-security, neo-security, Straiker, ACT Security (related categories)
- Guardian-agent pattern: meta-agent oversees other agents
- Distinct from IdP/ITDR (who is acting) vs control plane (what action is allowed)
