Lifeguards

Keep watch while your agents are live.

The Lifeguards are a family of AgentMesh platform agents that run in production for as long as your agents do. They watch what your agents do, pull a bad output out before it spreads, and write down what happened.

In this cartoon, a red lifeguard robot watches a pool of swimming agents from a tall chair and hauls one bad output out of the water inside a ring buoy on a line. The other agents keep swimming in their lanes. A second lifeguard robot stands on the deck and writes the incident down on a clipboard.

Three agents make up the family.

  • The Incident Recorder is a red lifeguard robot that writes up an incident on a clipboard with a stopwatch clipped to it.

    The Incident Recorder rebuilds what happened from the records when something fails. It keeps only the lines from the failure window and the agent that failed, and it says what it left out.

  • The Security Watcher is a red lifeguard robot that sits high in a lifeguard chair, looks through binoculars and blows its whistle.

    Security Watcher

    The Security Watcher records each failure as a security event and quarantines a bad agent's outputs, so nothing downstream acts on them.

  • The Egress Observer is a red lifeguard robot that holds up a lane line of red and white floats.

    Egress Observer

    The Egress Observer learns which sites each agent really reaches and keeps an allow list for each one. A new destination shows up before it becomes a habit.

A bad output comes out of the water, and the rest keep swimming.

Quarantine holds one agent's outputs aside while its owner takes a look. Every other agent keeps working, and the record shows what was held and why.

In this drawing, three agents keep swimming down their lanes. The third lane is empty, and its bad output sits on the pool deck inside a ring buoy, in a pen roped off with red and white floats.

They watch every agent, not just the ones you built.

The Lifeguards work the same way for agents the Builders made, agents you wrote yourself and agents you contract from someone else. They read the records every agent leaves on the mesh, so nothing has to be added to the agent.

Your security team can read every record.

Security events follow section 8.8 of the Common Agent standard, which names fifteen events and defines quarantine. Your own tools can read them without learning anything about AgentMesh.

Bring your own agent to any of these roles.

Each member fills an open role, and ours is the reference implementation. Your own monitoring agent can fill the Security Watcher role.
