They solve overlapping problems from different angles. Microsoft's Agent Governance Toolkit is a broad, multi-package governance platform centred on deterministic policy enforcement (OPA/Cedar/YAML rules), agent identity, and execution rings. Adrian is a focused runtime detection-and-control layer that reasons about agent behaviour and intent — it analyses reasoning traces, not just policy rules, so it catches misaligned or out-of-remit actions that don't map cleanly to a predefined policy. Adrian is open source (Apache-2.0), self-hostable offline, and installs into a LangChain/LangGraph agent in two lines. The two approaches are complementary rather than mutually exclusive — deterministic policy plus behavioural reasoning. |
