Governance above the harness: policy, permissions, approvals, budgets, trust, settlement, and audit between agent intent and execution.

- [Code Atelier Governance SDK](code-atelier-governance-sdk/index.md) - the MIT Python SDK that puts scope, budget, approval, and loop gates in front of LLM calls and writes an HMAC audit chain to your existing Postgres.
- [Microsoft Agent Governance Toolkit](microsoft-agent-governance-toolkit/index.md) - the MIT multi-language toolkit for deterministic policy, identity, sandboxing, SRE, and compliance, with a critical authentication writeup to read first.
- [Okto Pulse](okto-pulse/index.md) - the Elastic-2.0 local-first SDLC workbench that blocks coding-agent status transitions until spec coverage and delivery evidence are met.
- [Paperclip](paperclip/index.md) - the MIT self-hosted control plane for a company of agents, heartbeats, budgets, and governance, about 88k stars in seven months.
- [SettleBridge](settlebridge/index.md) - the trust and policy gateway for agent-to-agent settlement, with escrow, reputation, and Merkle audit trails, and unresolved license metadata.
- [SIDJUA](sidjua/index.md) - the governance-first orchestrator with a five-stage pre-action pipeline, frozen since April 2026 with its announced reopening date missed.
- [TinyAGI](tinyagi/index.md) - the one-person-company orchestrator that stalled in March 2026, kept as the category's first consolidation record.
- [Veto](veto/index.md) - the Apache-2.0 authorization kernel that holds or blocks risky agent tool calls before execution and records offline-verifiable receipts.

Its members are compared on shared rows in the [Control Planes Feature Matrix](control-planes-feature-matrix/index.md).
