What the publisher says
From the Aegis — AI Agent Governance repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.Acacian/aegis --> Agent-Aegis The governance layer for AI agents. One API, 12 frameworks, every governance primitive. Aegis is to agent governance what Redis is to data structures — one runtime that unifies prompt-injection blocking, PII masking, policy enforcement, trust delegation, and tamper-evident audit across every agent framework. No code changes. pip install agent-aegis → aegis.auto_instrument() → 12 frameworks are now governed.

What is Aegis
Every AI agent framework reinvents the same governance primitives — and each one does it slightly differently. Aegis is the abstraction layer that unifies them.
import aegis
aegis.auto_instrument() # 12 frameworks governed. No other code changes.You don't write a LangChain guardrail and a CrewAI guardrail and an OpenAI guardrail — you write one Policy and every framework inherits it.
How this differs from the guardrail libraries
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
