Inventory is the control surface. An agent, a broker, and an MCP server each get a row: name, runtime, identity, allowed actions, named owner, trail. Governance debt grows faster than the agent count. I run this model across 200+ production agents.
The paid registry and audit-trail offer is AI Agent Governance . Before you scale, each row needs name, runtime, identity, allowed actions, named owner, and trail.
- Name The public name of the agent, broker, or MCP server. No nicknames that only one team knows.
- Runtime Agentforce, a broker, or an MCP server. Runtime tells you which control plane owns the process.
- Identity The user or machine the row acts as. Shared robot users are a smell, not a default.
- Allowed actions What this row may call. If the list cannot be written down, it is not ready for production.
- Named owner A person who owns the decision when the output is wrong. Not a shared inbox.
- Trail Where the run is recorded so a later operator can replay it.
What a row must hold
- Name. The public name of the agent, broker, or MCP server. No nicknames that only one team knows.
- Runtime. Agentforce, a broker, or an MCP server. Runtime tells you which control plane owns the process.
- Identity. The user or machine the row acts as. Shared robot users are a smell, not a default.
- Allowed actions. What this row may call. If the list cannot be written down, it is not ready for production.
- Named owner. A person who owns the decision when the output is wrong. Not a shared inbox.
- Trail. Where the run is recorded so a later operator can replay it.
Named owners are next: a person owns the decision . The network hub is Agentforce Network .
