Runtime Execution Control
Not just visibility. Not just identity. Governed execution — at the moment of action, with structured approval, credential isolation, and cryptographic proof.
Discovery is commoditizing. Governed execution is not.
Most competitors manage agent identity. EmpowerNow governs what agents actually do. The difference: when your agent needs to delete 10,000 accounts, who approves with structured evidence? Who ensures it executes exactly once? Who produces cryptographic proof of the entire chain?
Structured Safety Case (SSC) governance
The PDP operates a three-outcome decision model — the patented governance primitive for agent action.
Allow
PDP permits. The agent proceeds with full authorization and proof.
Deny
PDP blocks with no remediation path. Hard stop.
Escalate via SSC
WAITING protocol pauses execution. Presents a Structured Safety Case — bounded reasoning, SHA-256 evidence digests, risk band, confidence score — to a human reviewer. On approval, a single-use execution token with exactly-once semantics.
Five-Rails authorization pipeline
All five rails are fail-closed. Any failure stops execution.
Policy-scoped discovery (3 layers)
Agents only see tools they're authorized to use. No competitor filters at discovery time — they return the full catalog and enforce only at invocation.
Layer 1: Gateway Delegation
Membership service returns only tools the agent's delegation grants. Wildcard patterns with deny-overrides-allow and trust-level gating. Always active.
Layer 2: PDP Batch Filter
Every tool evaluated against PDP before tools/list returns results. Implemented and feature-flagged.
Layer 3: Orchestration Service ATU
Dedicated POST /tools/discover endpoint with full PDP batch_evaluate on OperationRefs. Fail-closed — empty results on any failure, never unfiltered.
