What we drew from this source
The claims Via News extracted from this document. We point to the source; we don't replace it.
Governance cannot depend on an agent choosing to follow policy; it must be enforced by the system, constructing bounds the agent cannot cross rather than hoping it stays in bounds.
60% confidenceDeclared purpose becomes an attribute the access layer already understands, evaluated in the same policy path as role and row-level security; the enforcement mechanism does not change, but the agent's purpose becomes part of what it evaluates and part of what the record proves afterward.
60% confidenceFor regulated industries, data sovereignty combined with source-level enforcement is a precondition for putting agents into production at all.
