The Enterprise Guide to Agent Discovery & Governance
A comprehensive framework for discovering, governing, and improving AI agents at scale. Built from our work with Fortune 500 enterprises deploying production-grade agents across financial services, customer operations, and data platforms.
Seven Sections. One Framework.
The Agent Explosion is Here
Why autonomous agents are different, and why every enterprise needs an ADG strategy now.
Why Traditional Oversight Falls Short
Why CMDBs, SOC monitoring, and audit logs were built for a deterministic world that agents have broken.
The Shadow Agent Crisis
The three vectors through which agents are entering enterprises faster than central teams can track them.
Building Your Agent Discovery Strategy
Four discovery techniques: telemetry, MCP server monitoring, network analysis, and cloud APIs.
The Three Pillars of Agent Governance
Unified policy framework, agnostic governance, and customizable use-case-specific policies.
The Governance Stack in Detail
Real-time guardrails, continuous evaluations, access management, and monitoring requirements.
How Arthur Powers ADG at Scale
How the Arthur platform delivers end-to-end Agent Discovery & Governance for Fortune 500 enterprises.
Key Insights
Shadow agents arrive through three vectors
Internal application development, new third-party solutions, and routine software updates that add agentic capabilities to systems that were previously deterministic.
Discovery alone isn't enough
Multilayered, automated detection (telemetry, MCP, network, cloud APIs) is the foundation. Triage, ownership, and policy enforcement are what turn discovery into governance.
One-size-fits-all governance fails
A customer support agent for an airline has fundamentally different governance requirements than an inventory agent for a warehouse. Policies must adapt to context.
Built for the teams scaling agentic AI
If you're responsible for AI strategy, governance, risk, or platform engineering at an enterprise deploying production agents, this whitepaper is for you.
The first comprehensive Agent Discovery & Governance platform
Arthur built the industry's first comprehensive ADG platform, purpose-designed to address the challenges in this whitepaper. The platform automatically discovers agents across cloud environments, applies unified governance policies, and continuously evaluates agent performance against your standards.
Arthur is agnostic across frameworks (LangChain, Crew AI, Vertex AI, Bedrock, Agent Foundry), clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure), and models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, open-source). Available on the Google Cloud Marketplace and AWS Marketplace.
