​
Platform: Brane Cloud

  • Fail-open and fail-closed modes for remote decision calls

​
Platform: Dashboard and CLI

  • Brane Dashboard: agents, capabilities, policies, audit logs, approvals, traces
  • Brane CLI: policy test/push/pull, capability listing, audit tail
  • Policy simulator for synthetic actions
  • Team management and roles
  • Webhooks for approval events and high-risk denials

​
Governance: Specialized Surfaces

  • Model governance: cost budget policies, provider routing, output policies
  • Memory governance: namespace enforcement, PII policies, memory poisoning controls
  • Retrieval governance: tenant filter enforcement, document classification, result redaction
  • Filesystem governance: path allowlists, extension policies, data export controls
  • Secret governance: invocation-bound credentials, audit-safe secret handling
  • Sandbox governance: network, filesystem, CPU/memory, and time restrictions
  • Browser and computer-use governance: domain allowlists, form submission controls
  • Multi-agent governance: delegation policies, subagent spawn controls, identity delegation

​
Design Direction

The full Brane platform gives every agent action a complete governance record: who attempted it, what capability it used, what policy evaluated it, what decision was returned, and what effect it had. That record enables compliance workflows, approval queues, trace timelines, cost attribution, and security review without changes to the agent code. The mental model stays the same through all platform layers: 
Capability + AgentAction + PolicyContext -> Policy -> Decision
Local runtime, cloud runtime, dashboard, CLI, and every integration reduce to this formula. Framework adapters translate native tool calls into AgentActions. Policy bundles bring policies down from the cloud. The dashboard makes the control surface visible. Audit makes it auditable. The local runtime works today without any cloud dependency. Connect to Brane Cloud when you need central policy management, cross-service audit, or dashboard approval workflows.
