AI control plane for enterprise agents: Is centralized policy finally possible?
We have gone from one agent to five in about six months, and each one is wired into different internal tools.
Every agent has its own custom setup for policy and permissions, and logging is still handled separately by each team. Nothing is centralised. Adding a sixth agent means rebuilding the same stack again.
What I keep wanting is something like an AI control plane, one place that defines policy and applies it consistently across every agent instead of each team rebuilding enforcement from scratch. I have not found much written about what that actually looks like in practice, as opposed to the term just being used as a marketing label.
For teams managing more than a couple of agents, is centralised policy across agents actually achievable today, or is everyone still running point solutions per agent and calling it a control plane afterwards?
