Agent Governance Console
A prototype I built to learn observability and governance design for multi-agent systems
Running a multi-agent stack across my own projects produced governance data — audit logs, impact classifications, hook events — scattered across flat files in different repositories, with no single place to ask 'is the ecosystem healthy?' or 'what did the agents do today?'. I wanted to learn how the observability tools in this space are designed by building one.
Surveyed several production observability and evaluation tools (LangSmith, Braintrust, Arize Phoenix, and others) to understand what they did well and where they were over-built for a personal use case. The lesson that stuck: a few focused views backed by real data beat a sprawling dashboard of features nobody opens.
Built a Next.js dashboard backed by PostgreSQL that ingested governance data from my project spokes, wrapped in an Electron menubar shell. Chain-verified audit log (each entry's hash incorporates the previous one), decision tracking, and health scoring. It served its purpose as a learning exercise; I'm no longer actively maintaining it.
- Hands-on understanding of how audit-trail, decision-tracking, and health-scoring observability is designed
- Chain-verified tamper-evident logging pattern (each entry's hash incorporates the previous entry's)
- A clear lesson in scoping: focused views backed by real data over feature sprawl
