As AI agents grow ever more capable, enterprises racing to put them to work across applications, workflows, and products face a new challenge: ensuring an agent does what it’s supposed to do when it’s deployed across different environments.

The specification essentially lets developer, compliance, and security teams define their own policies for agents to follow. The rules can define what the agent…
