Autonomy Gates
Definition
Strict performance and governance staging checkpoints used by enterprises to safely transition AI agents from "Assisted Mode" (human-in-the-loop) to full autonomous execution. Agents must mathematically prove their outputs align with deterministic policies before the gate opens.
Why It Matters
You cannot throw an untested agent into a fully autonomous write-access environment without immense risk. Autonomy Gates provide a staged rollout framework. If an agent fails to generate safe, schema-compliant tool calls consistently behind an Autonomy Gate, it is not promoted to production write-access.
How Exogram Addresses This
Exogram serves as the operational mechanism for Autonomy Gates. Agents can run safely in shadow or read-only modes while Exogram evaluates their proposed execution payloads. Once the agent proves total compliance, the Exogram policy engine is configured to allow production writes.
