Governing AI Agents From the Inside: What We Learned Building AgentPatrol

Oct 7, 2026 By Harshita Kulshrestha In meshIQ
When every employee is building AI agents, seeing what they did afterward isn't enough. AgentPatrol's in-flow governance runs inside the agent's execution flow—pausing for human approval, enforcing policies by value, masking PII, and stopping runaway agents before costs spiral.
