Agentic Control Plane Blueprint

What this is. The blueprint is the executive and architecture layer above the generated packs. It explains how SecurityRecipes becomes a credible secure context layer for agentic AI, not just a documentation site or prompt library.

SecurityRecipes already has the hard parts of an enterprise agentic program: secure context trust, MCP gateway policy, authorization conformance, connector trust, non-human identity, memory boundaries, skill supply-chain checks, egress decisions, run receipts, red-team drills, readiness scoring, and measurement probes.

The Agentic Control Plane Blueprint turns those individual artifacts into one product story a buyer, AI platform owner, security architect, GRC reviewer, or acquirer can evaluate quickly:

  • What is the reference architecture?
  • Which generated packs prove each layer?
  • Which MCP tools expose the evidence to agents and review portals?
  • Which current industry references does the architecture track?
  • What is the path from open knowledge to production MCP revenue?

Generated artifact

  • Source model: data/assurance/agentic-control-plane-blueprint.json
  • Generator: scripts/generate_agentic_control_plane_blueprint.py
  • Evidence pack: data/evidence/agentic-control-plane-blueprint.json
  • MCP tool: recipes_agentic_control_plane_blueprint

Regenerate and validate the pack:

python3 scripts/generate_agentic_control_plane_blueprint.py
python3 scripts/generate_agentic_control_plane_blueprint.py --check

Why this matters

Agentic security is moving from “can we prompt the model safely?” to “can we govern the action layer?” NIST’s 2026 AI Agent Standards Initiative emphasizes interoperable standards, community protocols, agent authentication and identity, and security evaluations. OWASP’s Agentic Top 10 frames the new risk surface around goal hijack, tool misuse, identity abuse, agentic supply chain, memory and context poisoning, cascading failures, and rogue-agent behavior. The current MCP authorization specification adds concrete requirements around resource indicators, token audience validation, PKCE, HTTPS, client metadata, and forbidden token passthrough.

That is exactly where SecurityRecipes should sit: between agents and the systems they want to use, making context and authority understandable, queryable, and enforceable.

Blueprint layers

LayerWhat it provesCore evidence
Workflow scope and default-deny controlAgents only run declared workflows and undeclared tool calls fail closed.Workflow manifest, MCP gateway policy, assurance pack, readiness scorecard
Secure context provenanceReturned context has owner, trust tier, source hash, citation rule, poisoning scan, and workflow package hash.Secure Context Trust Pack, Context Poisoning Guard, Agentic System BOM, Measurement Probes
MCP authorization and connector trustRemote MCP servers are reviewed for token audience, resource binding, PKCE, scope drift, and connector trust.Connector Trust Pack, Connector Intake Pack, Authorization Conformance, Gateway Policy
Agent identity and delegationEvery agent run has owner, delegated scope, explicit denies, review linkage, and revocation expectations.Agent Identity Ledger, Gateway Policy, Run Receipt Pack, Capability Risk Register
Memory, skill, and runtime boundariesSkills, rules files, hooks, vector memory, and persistent memory cannot silently inherit authority.Memory Boundary Pack, Skill Supply-Chain Pack, Poisoning Guard, Red-Team Drills
Context egress and data boundariesContext does not leave tenant, model, telemetry, MCP, or public-corpus boundaries without policy.Context Egress Boundary, Secure Context Trust Pack, Run Receipts, Assurance Pack
Evidence receipts and Agentic System BOMRuns can be reconstructed from context, tools, policy decisions, approvals, verifiers, closure, and revocation.Run Receipt Pack, Agentic System BOM, Assurance Pack, Measurement Probes
Measurement, red-team replay, and threat alignmentCurrent threat signals become probes, drills, readiness decisions, and roadmap actions.Threat Radar, Measurement Probe Pack, Red-Team Drill Pack, Readiness Scorecard

Buyer diligence questions

Use the generated buyer_due_diligence_matrix when a customer or acquirer asks for evidence:

QuestionEvidence path
Which context sources are allowed into an agent run, and how is source drift detected?recipes_secure_context_trust_pack, recipes_context_poisoning_guard_pack
How does the product prevent token passthrough, wrong-audience tokens, scope creep, and unreviewed MCP tools?recipes_mcp_authorization_conformance_pack, recipes_mcp_connector_trust_pack
Who owns an agent identity, what can it do, and how is one unsafe run revoked?recipes_agent_identity_ledger, recipes_agentic_run_receipt_pack
Can the team reconstruct the exact policy, context, tool, approval, verifier, and egress path after an incident?recipes_agentic_run_receipt_pack, recipes_agentic_system_bom
Which workflows are ready to scale, which stay in a guarded pilot, and which are blocked?recipes_agentic_readiness_scorecard, recipes_agentic_measurement_probe_pack

Product strategy

The open project should stay useful and forkable. That is the adoption engine. The commercial value sits above it:

StageProduct surface
Open foundationMIT-licensed recipes, generated evidence packs, read-only MCP server, deterministic policy evaluators.
Production MCP serverHosted secure-context retrieval, context signing, MCP authorization conformance, connector trust monitoring, and run receipt storage.
Enterprise expansionTenant evidence ingestion, identity-provider adapters, hosted red-team replay, measurement probes, and trust-center exports.
Strategic acquisition fitFrontier labs, AI coding platforms, cloud platforms, and security vendors need a credible control layer for agentic tool use and context.
