AI agent governance: rules you can check.
An AI agent is software that plans and does tasks. It needs clear rules about what it can use and do. Constance is how we keep those rules. It holds the few rules that must never break, records every source, and checks each claim before the agent relies on it. It is not a seal of legal compliance.
AI agent governance means setting what an agent may use and do, then checking its work. Constance keeps those rules in one record. Three separate checks test each claim against its source. Claims that pass get a stamp. People still make the choices that need judgment.
An agent needs rules, not just a task.
An agent can use an old page or a claim no one checked. It can miss a rule no one wrote down. You need to see what it used and what was checked. Clear rules and records help people review the work. They do not make every choice right.
Set the rules. Check the facts. Keep them current.
- Set clear limits
- Constance records which sources and rules the agent can use. You see where its work must start and stop. The agent and the person in charge still make the choices.
- Check each claim
- Three separate checks look at where a claim came from. They check its proof and whether the official source agrees. Each check starts fresh and cannot see the answer being tested.
- Reuse checked facts
- A claim that passes gets a stamp in the record. Later work builds on those checked facts. The stamp shows what passed, not that all work is safe.
- Keep sources up to date
- Constance keeps a list of sources and fixed business rules. Sources that change fast get a date for another check. Other sources stay until the project changes them.

Questions about AI rules and checks.
What are AI agent rules?
They set what an agent can use and do. People can read the rules and check the work. The agent and the person in charge still make the choices.
How does Constance check a claim?
Three checks look at its source, its proof, and whether the source agrees. Each starts fresh without seeing the answer being tested. Claims that pass get a stamp in the record.
Does Constance make decisions for the agent?
No. It keeps the rules and sources clear and current. The agent and the person in charge still make the choices. A checked claim does not prove a good business result.
What happens when a source changes?
Sources that change fast get a date for another check. Other sources stay until the project changes them. You see which facts need to be checked again.
Does Constance prove we meet the law?
No. It shows which rules were set and which claims passed its checks. Legal and privacy duties still need your own review and, where needed, your lawyer.
