An AI control plane is a governance layer designed to manage and enforce policies for AI agents, models, and their associated tools. This layer operates in real-time to decide what actions an agent is permitted to take, enforce those decisions, and log the outcomes. Unlike simple observability dashboards that report past actions, a control plane intervenes before an agent's action occurs, preventing potential damage and ensuring adherence to defined policies. This concept draws an analogy from networking, where a control plane dictates traffic routing, while a data plane executes the movement of packets. AI
