Exogram vs Microsoft Semantic Kernel

Enterprise SDK. Enterprise gaps.

What Microsoft Semantic Kernel Does

  • Microsoft's SDK for building AI agents in C# and Python.
  • Plugin-based architecture with Azure OpenAI integration.
  • Plugin permissions exist but are developer-configured, not deterministically enforced.
  • Planners decide what to do. Nothing validates whether each step is safe.

What Exogram Does

  • Exogram provides execution governance that Semantic Kernel's plugin system lacks.
  • Plugins execute without runtime validation. Exogram validates before execution.
  • 8 deterministic policy rules run on every tool call — not developer-configured permissions.

The Verdict

Use Semantic Kernel for enterprise agent development. Use Exogram because plugin permissions are not execution governance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Exogram work with Semantic Kernel plugins?

Yes. Wrap plugin execution with exogram.evaluate(). Each plugin call gets independently validated by the policy engine.
