For the modern CIO the challenge is no longer, “How do we build an AI agent?” but “How do we manage hundreds or thousands of agents our teams are deploying?”
Unchecked AI adoption can lead to agent sprawl — a rapid proliferation of agents that makes discovering and managing agents extremely difficult. It can also lead to “shadow AI,” meaning teams are building and deploying agents outside the IT department’s purview and control, creating risks in areas such as security, compliance, and project redundancy. Unchecked AI adoption can also lead to new technical debt, which, ironically, is one of the problems people have been adopting AI to solve.
Organizations are racing to develop and deploy AI agents, but without a controlled process for development and deployment, adopting agents at scale risks creating confusion and technical and governance issues that IT and finance teams might be struggling with for years to come.
The solution? Applying governance and oversight to every agent deployed in the enterprise, whether it has been developed internally, provided by a platform vendor or technical partner, or purchased from an agent marketplace. Every agent needs a robust governance framework that ensures accountability, transparency, and reliability throughout the agent’s lifecycle.
With Boomi Agentstudio, you can increase visibility and transform agents from black-box experiments into governed, enterprise-grade agentic workflows. Four key Agentstudio features help provide the governance that every organization deploying agents needs.
Here’s a quick look at these features and how they make rapid AI agent adoption manageable, predictable, and secure.
Centralized Registry
With the Agentstudio centralized registry, you can manage and govern all your agents from a single pane of glass, giving you the control, consistency, and confidence that AI is operating within your enterprise standards. Register agents from across your organization, no matter where they’re built, avoiding vendor lock-in and reducing security and compliance risks. Agentstudio supports more than 30 different custom providers such as CrewAI, Hugging Face, LangChain, n8n, OpenAI, ServiceNow, Workday, and growing. Easily list these agents by simply uploading documentation to Boomi’s auto-cataloging feature, with native support for AWS Bedrock, Agentforce, Microsoft Copilot, and Snowflake.
Audit Logs
One of the biggest hurdles to enterprise AI adoption is the “black box” problem. When an agent fails or produces an unexpected result, developers and users need to know why. Unfortunately, that information can be hard to get in many AI agent environments.
By combining trace logs, agent session logs, and additional user activity logs, Agent Control Tower provides deep visibility into every decision an agent makes and increases auditability. Understand the agent’s reasoning and chain of thought, showing exactly what the agent was “thinking” and what influenced the outcome.
Anomaly Detection, Monitoring, and Compliance
Even a well-designed agent can behave irregularly due to shifting data patterns or external system changes. Agentstudio’s anomaly detection acts as your intelligent observability layer, shifting your monitoring from passive to proactive.
Instantly detect spikes or drops in token usage, error rates, model latency, and more, so that you can prevent any costly LLM surprises on your bill. Track agent performance with aggregated observability metrics in real time to easily flag excessive API invocations, identify compromised agents, and assess tool usage metrics.
Built-in Guardrails
Agentstudio implements governance at every step of the AI agent lifecycle, including at the core of agent design. Every agent created in Agentstudio has built-in, customizable guardrails to tailor to your specific requirements. This includes prompt injection prevention and setting precise rules, restrictions, and filters, such as denied topics, word filters, and custom regex patterns. Thanks to these guardrails, IT and business users can create and deploy agents, confident that they will be well-governed and protected against common types of AI-targeted attacks.
One further benefit of building and managing agents with Agentstudio: Boomi is one of the few companies to have achieved ISO/IEC 42001 certification, meeting the new industry standards for securing AI assets and processes. (A complete list of Boomi certifications is available here.) When you build and run agents on Boomi, you get the benefits of security and governance features that meet the ISO’s exacting standards.
Go Fast, Safely
The race to AI shouldn’t be a race to increase risk. With Boomi Agentstudio, you can provide your teams with the speed they want with the enterprise guardrails they require. Don’t just build agents, scale a governed AI ecosystem.
