Introducing the Dogwood Local Engine: temporal governance for agent actions (AWS Open Source Blog)

blog post · Story page

AWS shipped a local engine for Dogwood, the open source agent governance language it released in August. Temporal conditions let a policy refer to the agent's past actions and how those turned out.

In plain words

  • The Dogwood Local Engine is a new tool for controlling which actions artificial intelligence is allowed to take.
  • Its rules can refer to what the system did earlier and how those actions turned out.
  • Developers can make permission for the next action depend on whether earlier work succeeded.
