01 · the contract
Start from a bounded job, not a blank chat box.
trigger
A scheduled control test or evidence request opens.
owner
compliance owner
agent stops at
The control owner attests completeness and approves release to testing or audit.
KPI · increase
evidence requests accepted first pass (percent). Measure packets accepted without a completeness follow-up.
outputs
Artifacts the run must produce
- Indexed evidence packet
- Control-to-evidence map
- Missing evidence and owner list
02 · topology
Small specialists. Named handoffs. One accountable decision.
Each stage produces an artifact another stage can inspect. The final node is a person, not an autonomous write to an external system.
- 01
intake
Validate and normalize the control evidence collection inputs.
- 02
request interpreter
Produce the indexed evidence packet.
- 03
evidence collector
Produce the control-to-evidence map.
- 04
control owner reviewer
Challenge the control evidence collection result and prepare an approval packet.
- 05
compliance owner
The control owner attests completeness and approves release to testing or audit.

03 · authority
Grant the run only what this case needs.
Source material is read-only. Drafts land in a case-specific output path. Tools may read or propose; the human gate owns the external write.
case inputs
workspace/compliance/control-evidence-collection/inputs/**Read only the evidence attached to this workflow instance.
case outputs
workspace/compliance/control-evidence-collection/outputs/**Write drafts and evidence artifacts without modifying source records.
approved tools
compliance:control-evidence-collection:read-or-proposeInvoke only tools explicitly granted for this run; external writes remain gated.
04 · implementation
A private, bounded starting manifest.
The blueprint starts private, caps its DAG, disables replanning, and exposes no public endpoint. Add only the tools and data adapters this workflow has approved.

Evidence traceability
Every material conclusion cites an input artifact or a scoped tool result from this run.
- 02
Every artifact has source, period, owner, retrieval date, and direct control relevance.
Every artifact has source, period, owner, retrieval date, and direct control relevance.
- 03
Approval boundary
The run stops at a proposal and records the human decision before any external side effect.
failure containment
Stop small. Preserve the evidence.
Evidence is outside period, expired, inaccessible, or lacks accountable ownership.
Containment: Return a partial result with unresolved items; do not broaden scope or perform an external write.
Operator: Attach the missing evidence, narrow the brief, or explicitly approve a new scoped run.
A required input or tool grant is unavailable.
Containment: Stop the affected branch and preserve completed artifacts in the case output workspace.
Operator: Grant only the missing resource or continue with that branch marked out of scope.
06 · proof
Sign the run facts. Keep money in the billing ledger.
Current platform receipts sign caller identity or classification, skill, bounded input evidence, verified grant IDs when present, outcome or result preview, and timing. Optional file, tool, artifact, handoff, evaluation, and review fields require separate instrumentation and are not populated by default. Price, fees, payouts, and later human approvals remain separate platform records.
The example uses only fields populated by the current platform sealing paths. It is illustrative, not a record of a real customer run.

Compliance & Audit
Audit request response
Translate an audit request into attributes, sources, owners, and an approved response packet without over-answering scope.
Compliance & Audit
Policy-to-control mapping
Map approved policy statements to controls and evidence expectations, highlighting unsupported or orphaned requirements.
Compliance & Audit
Access control sample preparation
Select or ingest an approved sample and assemble entitlement, approval, and change evidence for control testing.
put the pattern to work
Start private. Scope the authority. Require the decision.
Deploy the workflow as a bounded internal agent, verify its outputs and the receipt fields actually emitted, then expand only the scopes your acceptance test proves it needs.
