Govern every SAP AI agent: from discovery to runtime enforcement

With the release of the SAP Business AI Platform, you can use standard agents built by SAP, create your own agents with Joule Studio, or extend existing agents to meet your specific business needs.
As agent landscapes grow, effective governance starts with a holistic understanding of every agent: what it does, who is accountable for it, where it runs, and how it behaves.
The new SAP AI agent discovery integration as part of the SAP AI Agent Hub provides this comprehensive view. In addition to rich metadata, such as ownership, version, environment, and lifecycle information, it connects each agent with capabilities across the SAP ecosystem:

• Identity: Agent identities provided by SAP Identity Services

• Monitoring and auditability: Operational insights from SAP Cloud ALM

• Process insights: Agent mining insights from SAP Signavio

Together, these connections give you a unified view of your SAP agents from discovery and identity to operational behavior and business-process impact.

Govern agents as logical entities
An agent may run across multiple tenants or environments, but it remains a single logical entity that should be managed and governed consistently. Within your workspace, each agent is represented by a single logical fact sheet and lists its individual deployments in a dedicated Instances section.
Only the logical agent fact sheet counts towards your fact sheet quota, not each individual instance.

Turn verification into runtime enforcement
Agent verification can now directly impact runtime. You can define the tenants in which verification is required. If an agent operating in one of these tenants has not been verified, incoming calls to the agent will not be processed. Previously, verification status primarily documented an agent’s governance state. It can now serve as an operational control applied where needed, allowing you to govern an agent centrally while enforcing verification requirements for specific runtime environments.

In order to fully benefit from these enhanced capabilities, you need to be a customer of the SAP Business AI Platform.
