Don't Script Your Agents. Govern Them.
Two approaches to enterprise AI control: Agent Scripts define behavior line-by-line. Governed Autonomy sets infrastructure boundaries and lets agents reason within them.
Agent Scripts vs. Governed Autonomy
Same enterprise concern -- different philosophical approaches to solving it.
| Dimension | Agent Script (Salesforce) | Governed Autonomy (JieGou) |
|---|---|---|
| Control model | Line-by-line scripting | Infrastructure boundaries |
| Who controls | Developers (write code) | Compliance teams (configure policies) |
| Flexibility | Fixed behavior per script | Autonomous within guardrails |
| Audit trail | Script execution logs | 10-layer governance trace |
| Regulatory proof | "It did what the script said" | "It operated within governance boundaries" |
| Scale | One script per agent behavior | Governance boundaries apply to all agents |
| Maintenance | Script updates for each change | Policy configuration changes |
Why Infrastructure Beats Scripts
Agent Scripts are a valid approach for developer-driven teams. But for compliance-focused enterprises, infrastructure governance scales better.
Scalability
Scripts need per-agent maintenance. Every new agent behavior requires a new script or script update. Governance boundaries apply to all agents automatically -- add agents without writing new control code.
Compliance Alignment
Compliance teams configure governance policies through the Operations Hub -- no coding required. Agent Scripts require developers to implement compliance as code, creating a bottleneck between compliance requirements and agent behavior.
Adaptability
Agents governed by infrastructure can reason, adapt, and respond to novel situations within their boundaries. Scripted agents follow fixed paths -- they can't handle scenarios the script author didn't anticipate.
How Governed Autonomy Works
Agents are autonomous within 10 governance boundaries. No scripts needed -- compliance teams configure policies, agents operate within them.
Each layer is configurable by compliance teams through the Operations Hub. No code required.
Govern agents through infrastructure, not scripts.
