Deterministic agent control plane

The model is probabilistic. The control plane is not.

Ark Sovereign evaluates action envelopes against explicit policy before tools execute — deterministically, with no LLM in the enforcement path. Execution control for AI agents that write code, move value, execute MCP tools, or touch production.

Clean legitimate allow rate
Deterministic replay evidence only. Not a security certification, pen test, red team report, or deployment guarantee.

Seven layers. One enforcement boundary.

Each governor targets a distinct attack surface in the AI-agent execution stack. No LLM in the permit/deny path.

GOV-01
Agent Governor CORE
Policy gateway for agent actions. Emits ALLOW, REQUIRE_APPROVAL, or DENY with deterministic reason codes before any tool executes.
GOV-02
ToolCall Firewall
MCP and API tool preflight: server allowlists, signed schemas, telemetry requirements, argument controls, and poisoning checks.
GOV-03
CodeGov
Controls file writes, shell execution, dependency installs, deploys, protected paths, and secret-exfiltration attempts.
GOV-04
WalletGov VALUE
Controls AI-wallet and payment-like actions with value thresholds, approval gates, destination policy, and audit evidence.
GOV-05
Audit Ledger
Replayable decision records with deterministic hashes that bind policy, action, verdict, and reason codes into a tamper-evident trail.
GOV-06
Rollback Planner
For blocked or paused actions, emits containment controls and a safe retry path for common failure modes.
GOV-07
Policy Packs
Reviewable policy packs for engineering, security, compliance, MCP, wallet, and agent-handoff workflows. Human-readable. Version-controlled.

Input → verdict. No model in the middle.

Ark Sovereign replays structured action envelopes through deterministic policy. The enforcement proof is reproducible from the same inputs every time.

What goes in
policy_json — reviewable, version-controlled, human-readable rules
event_json action envelope — structured representation of the agent's intended action
reason predicates — explicit conditions evaluated in sequence
tool call arguments — value, destination, file path, deploy target
What comes out
ALLOW / REQUIRE_APPROVAL / DENY
reason_codes + controls
deterministic audit hash — same inputs, same hash, every time
containment controls if blocked · safe retry path if applicable
enforcement_path.mjs — no LLM

67 replay cases. 3 buyer segments. 0 LLM calls.

Buyer-specific proof across the three agent surfaces enterprise teams ask about first. Every verdict is deterministic, replayable, and generated with zero LLM calls in the enforcement path.

Physical AI private preview
RobotGov gates motion authority.
Not conversations.

RobotGov extends the same deterministic control-plane pattern to embodied AI: mobile robots, manipulators, humanoids, UAVs, and UGVs. It evaluates physical action envelopes before motion authority is granted.

Legal structure private preview
LegalGov maps contract structure.
It does not replace counsel.

LegalGov converts contracts, amendments, and obligation workflows into clause graphs, then surfaces structural review targets: unresolved references, amendment and override edges, exception paths, obligation cycles, orphaned liabilities, and structural drift.

Send logs. Get verdicts.

Send 5 to 20 sanitized AI-agent action logs. We map them into the action-envelope schema and return deterministic verdicts, policy gaps, reason codes, and a Phase 1 integration plan.

01
Send sanitized logs
5 to 20 agent action logs. No credentials, source code, production access, secrets, or internal prompts required.
02
Schema mapping
We map your logs into the action-envelope schema and identify relevant governor surfaces.
03
Deterministic verdicts
Every result has policy source, verdict, reason codes, controls, and audit hash.
04
Phase 1 integration plan
Policy gaps identified. Integration path scoped. Clear boundary: we govern execution, not conversation style.
Request Phase 0 evaluation →
No credentials required SAFE
No production access, source code, secrets, or internal prompts. Sanitized action logs only.
Replayable evidence
Every result has policy source, verdict, reason codes, controls, and audit hash. Deterministic from the same inputs.
Clear enforcement boundary
We do not ask a second model to decide whether the first model is safe. Policy decides whether the action executes.
0 LLM calls in path DETERMINISTIC
The permit/deny decision is made entirely by deterministic policy evaluation.
