Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

AI Agent Governance for TypeScript — policy enforcement, behavioral scoring, injection detection, tamper-evident audit, and standards-mapped compliance for AI agents. Zero runtime dependencies.

[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/governance-sdk) [](https://github.com/lua-ai-global/governance/actions/workflows/ci.yml) [](https://packagephobia.com/result?p=governance-sdk) [](./packages/governance/package.json) [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/governance-sdk) [](./LICENSE)

Why

Every AI agent framework lets you build agents. None of them govern what those agents actually do at runtime. governance-sdk adds policy enforcement, behavioral scoring, injection detection, and compliance auditing to any TypeScript agent — regardless of framework.

Three things make governance real, and this SDK does all three:

  1. Point of interception — sits between the agent and the tool/LLM before it fires
  2. Deterministic agent identity — knows who's calling (optional Ed25519 signed tokens)
  3. Ability to block or modify — not just observe after the fact

Everything downstream (scoring, audit, compliance) follows from those three.

Proof, not promises — tamper-evident audit by default. Every enforce() decision and recordOutcome() outcome can be HMAC hash-chained (opt in with integrityAudit: { signingKey }). Any edit, deletion, or sequence-renumber breaks chain verification — verifiable offline anywhere with just the secret. No competitor in the comparison table below ships this.

Built from this server's own package name, version and transport as found in its source — not copied from anyone's documentation, so it cannot drift against a page we do not control. Replace the environment placeholders with a token scoped to the least it needs.

Questions

What is the governance-sdk MCP server?

Zero-dependency TypeScript SDK for AI agent governance: policy enforcement, injection detection, tamper-evident audit, and standards mapping (EU AI Act, OWASP, NIST, ISO 42001)

What tools does governance-sdk expose?

60 in total: 51 read-only, 7 that write, and 2 that can delete or overwrite (database_drop, delete_records). Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is governance-sdk safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (46/100) and found 5 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on. Separately from the audit: 2 of its tools can destroy data, so scope the token you give it to what you actually need.

What credentials does governance-sdk need?

It reads GOVERNANCE_API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY and HF_TOKEN from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (e9749f156a44), read on 2026-10-12. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
