Agentic Identity Guardrails: Architecture and Implementation

To effectively manage the security risks associated with an agentic ecosystem, it's crucial to establish a robust framework that includes inventory management, risk assessment, governance, and continuous monitoring. Below is a detailed architecture for implementing such guardrails.

Layer 1: Inventory and Classify Every Agent

The first step in securing your agentic environment is to have a complete and accurate inventory of all AI agents. This involves discovering and classifying every agent based on its type, permissions, activity metrics, and governance status.

python
 
1from dataclasses import dataclass
2from typing import List, Dict, Optional, Set, Enum
3import requests

5# Define the types of agents
6class AgentType(Enum):
7    WORKFLOW_AUTOMATION = "workflow_automation"  # Zapier, Make, n8n
8    AI_COPILOT = "ai_copilot"                    # ChatGPT plugins, Claude MCP
9    SAAS_BOT = "saas_bot"                        # Slack bots, Teams apps
10    RAG_PIPELINE = "rag_pipeline"                # Document indexers, knowledge bases
11    CUSTOM_AGENT = "custom_agent"                 # Internally built agents
