Decisions made before damage is done
Most systems track what happened after the fact. Authority enforces before it happens. Every agent action passes through the enforcement engine, which verifies identity, evaluates constraints, detects dangerous patterns, and renders a decision — all in under a millisecond.
All checks passed. Action executes. Result returned.
Constraint failed. Action does not execute. Agent receives error.
Dangerous pattern detected or human approval required. Action held pending review. Has not executed.
Action executes (it’s legitimate), but output withheld pending reviewer approval. Foundation of Supravision.
Every decision produces a signed attestation appended to the audit trail.
Under 1ms. No network round-trips. Local verification against cached catalog snapshots. Built for thousands of calls per hour.
Every gate knows within milliseconds. Mid-task revocation blocks the next action. Cascading through delegation chains — revoke the parent, every child is invalidated.
Budget checked before execution. Not tracked after overages. If spending would exceed the limit, the action is blocked.
Scans for recursive deletions, privilege escalation, unusual network destinations. Produces SUSPEND decisions for human review. Configurable per gate.
Human approves a suspended action and sets a reuse rule. Future identical actions auto-approve within the session. All other constraints (budgets, rates) still evaluate. Reduces approval fatigue.
The enforcement gateway is the only path between agent and OS capabilities. Direct access blocked at the environment level. Agent cannot bypass the gate.
