Show HN: Execlave – AI Agent Management Platform for Governance and Enforcement
Execlave is an AI agent management platform that provides real-time policy enforcement, security monitoring, and compliance auditing to keep AI agent behavior under control. It supports multiple policy types, compliance frameworks, and offers both cloud and self-hosted deployment options.

Execlave — AI Agent Management Platform (AMP) for governance & enforcement
Every AI agent your company runs needs a gate.
§ 00.1 — Statement
Execlave is the enforcement infrastructure that sits between your AI agents and the real world — making sure they cannot do anything your company hasn’t explicitly allowed, and generating the proof that they didn’t.

§ 02 / The risk you can't see
Your AI agents are one prompt away from doing something you’ll regret.
Most teams ship AI agents without any layer between the model’s output and the systems it can touch. That’s not a bug — that’s the default. Without AI agent governance, the default is zero control.
The risk you can’t see
Attack / Prompt injection
Your customer support agent receives a ticket:
The verdict / At the gate
Without an enforcement layer, the agent will try. Your audit log won’t tell you why. Your auditor will ask you to prove it didn’t happen. You won’t be able to.
And if the breach doesn’t get you, the audit will:
Q. 01
"Walk me through who is allowed to call which tools, for which agents, and under which conditions."
Q. 02
"Pull the audit log for every action this agent took on customer data in the last 90 days. I'll wait."
Q. 03
"Show me the moment a human approved this agent's last 10 high-impact decisions."
Most teams cannot answer any of these. Auditors know.
§ 03 / Runtime enforcement
Runtime policy enforcement — a gate, not a log.
Every agent action is checked against your policies before anything reaches the real world — in milliseconds.

§ 04 / How it works
From zero to governed in minutes.
Three steps, minutes to ship.
How it works
01 / Instrument
Add three lines to your agent.
Add 3 lines to your agent code. Our SDK traces every action, token, and cost automatically.
02 / Set rules
Declare what cannot happen.
Define policies: cost limits, model restrictions, content filters, prompt injection guards. Block or warn — your choice.

03 / Ship with confidence
Deploy, watch, stop.
Deploy knowing every agent is monitored, every violation caught, and the kill switch is one click away.

§ 06 / AI Agent Management Platform
Beyond enforcement. The full control plane.
Execlave is an AI Agent Management Platform (AMP): the six controls enterprises need to manage autonomous agents in production — available today.
AI Agent Management Platform capabilities
01 / Capability
Tiered autonomy governance
Assign every agent an autonomy level — observe, advise, act-with-approval, or autonomous — and auto-apply the recommended policy bundle for that tier. Drift detection flags when an agent outgrows its guardrails.
02 / Capability
Real-time cost circuit breaker
Synchronous spend caps per org, agent, user, or workspace across 1m/1h/1d/1mo windows — enforced in the policy path, not reconciled after the bill. Burn-rate alerts fire before a budget is breached.
03 / Capability
Agent registry & lifecycle
Inventory every agent with a lifecycle state, immutable version history, diffing, and one-click rollback. Shadow-agent detection surfaces agents calling your API without registration.
04 / Capability
Permission-drift detection
Baseline each agent’s tools, data sources, and permissions, then catch privilege escalation, anomalous access to sensitive or PII data, and unused over-privileged permissions.
05 / Capability
Eval-to-policy suggestions
Turn detected anomalies, violation patterns, and eval failures into proposed policies with confidence scoring. Accept, modify-and-accept, or reject — nothing is ever auto-enforced.
06 / Capability
Data-access lineage
Record what classes of data — public, internal, confidential, PII, PHI, PCI — each agent touched, with an auto-classifier, GDPR subject-access queries, and PII-by-agent reporting.

§ 07 / Compliance & security
Enterprise AI security and compliance — not an afterthought.
Compliance and security
07.1
Row-level data isolation
PostgreSQL RLS ensures your data never touches another organization.
07.2
PII detection and scrubbing
Emails, SSNs, credit cards, and API keys detected and hashed before storage.
07.3
Immutable audit trails
Cryptographically verified, append-only logs. Tamper-evident by design.
07.4
Role-based access control
Principle of least privilege. Owner, Admin, Developer, and Viewer roles across the platform.
