Verification Engine direction

Roadmap · after v1.0

Agent Governance

Planned for the Verification Engine. Let AI agents read engineering facts through MCP tools under role-based access — while every write still requires human-reviewed patch preview (Gate 2).

Roadmap

Agent MCP layer not in v1.0 — v1.0 already enforces human gates in the IDE: Context Lens (Gate 1) and patch preview (Gate 2). Agent-specific MCP and RBAC ship with the graph verification wave. Features in v1.0.

What is agent governance?

When coding agents act on your repo, governance answers: what may they read?, what may they propose?, and who must approve writes? ContextMint's model: agents get read tools on the engineering graph; mutations queue as proposals — never silent auto_applied on your main branch.

Planned MCP tools (read)

# Target tool surface (read-only)
get_blast_radius(target) → impacted services + evidence paths
get_feature(name) → feature registry entry
get_decision(id) → decision / ADR graph trace
get_trace(deployment) → CI/CD path (enterprise, later)

MCP = Model Context Protocol — a standard for agents to call typed tools. See Glossary → MCP.

Policy engine

  • One policy module for agents, assisted actions, and scorecards
  • Custom rules (ownership, PCI boundaries, blast thresholds)
  • Responses validate against AgentContextContract JSON schema

Safety defaults

  • No auto-apply on main workspace until execution gates pass
  • Graph proposals queue for human approval
  • Audit trail for agent propose events

Govern agents before they govern your repo
