Cryptographic identity — Every agent is assigned a revocable identity bound to a human principal. Eliminates static API keys.

Global inventory — Map every active agent and its authorized scopes across the organization.

Drift containment — Instantly quarantine rogue agents that deviate from baseline execution patterns.

Inline redaction — Detect and mask PII, credentials, and corporate secrets in the prompt before inference.

Injection defense — Blocks agents manipulated into leaking data via indirect prompt injections.

Compliance logs — Cryptographic, tamper-evident logs of all data touched by agents for compliance audits.

Hard rate limiting — Enforce strict execution thresholds at the kernel level before cost is incurred.

Token quotas — Assign budget limits. The AOS Kernel blocks execution instantly when reached.

ROI attribution — Track exactly how much compute each autonomous workflow consumes.

Capability-matched — Heavy work reaches strong models; trivial work never pays for them.

Clearance-aware — Sensitive context is only ever routed to a target authorised to receive it.

Recorded — The routing choice is an inspected event — every decision is explainable after the fact.
