Microsoft launches Agent Control Specification for AI behavior

Microsoft has introduced a new open-source standard called the Agent Control Specification (ACS) to provide developers with more consistent and granular control over AI agent behavior. This specification allows teams to define policies that dictate what agents can and cannot do, when human approval is needed, and what actions should be logged. ACS aims to address the challenge of ensuring AI agents operate within defined guardrails across various environments and applications, offering a unified governance layer to replace fragmented, ad-hoc control methods.
