Governance requires managing personal data removal and sensitive content. Effective archiving and versioning support knowledge management, ensuring the assistant reflects current information and policy changes.

Governing Agent Tool‑Use: Building an Action Space You Can Trust
The effective use of AI agents requires controlled action capabilities like creating tickets or sending emails, which must be governed to prevent misuse. A capability catalogue should detail each tool's function, risk level, and necessary oversight. Implementing strict policies and logging actions ensures safety, compliance, and accountability.
