What is an Agentic Control Plane?

An Agentic Control Plane is a governance layer that sits between AI coding agents and their tools. It logs every tool call, enforces permissions and policies, and provides audit trails — giving teams visibility and control over what their AI agents are doing.

How does ACP work with Claude Code?

ACP installs a PreToolUse hook in Claude Code that fires before every tool call (Bash, Read, Write, Edit, WebFetch). The hook sends the tool name and input to ACP's governance API for policy evaluation and audit logging. Round-trip is approximately 200ms.

How do I install ACP?

Run one command: curl -sf https://agenticcontrolplane.com/install.sh | bash. This auto-detects Claude Code and OpenClaw, installs the appropriate hooks, and opens your browser to set up your workspace.

1.
Governance for Claude Code in 60 seconds
One command installs a governance hook on every Claude Code tool call. Bash, Read, Write, Edit, WebFetch — logged, policy-enforced, dashboard-visible.
2.
Governing the Anthropic Agent SDK
Anthropic's Agent SDK makes multi-skill agents easy to ship. Route them through ACP so every skill, tool call, and sub-agent hop is scoped and auditable.
3.
Governed LangGraph in 3 Minutes
Wrap your LangGraph tools with @governed and bind the user JWT — every tool call across every node is audited, identity-attributed, and policy-checked. Three minutes from `pip install` to running governed.
4.
Governed CrewAI in 3 Minutes
Wrap CrewAI tools with @governed, bind the user JWT, and call install_crew_hooks(crew) to audit inter-agent handoffs. Every tool call and every delegation, identity-attributed and policy-checked.
5.
Governed Cursor in 3 Minutes
Cursor writes a lot of AI-assisted code, with zero visibility into what its agents did. Route Cursor through ACP so every MCP tool call is audited.
6.
Governed Codex CLI in 3 Minutes
OpenAI Codex CLI's auto-approve mode keeps ACP's governance hook firing in unattended runs. 60-second install, what it buys you that Claude Code doesn't.
7.
Governed OpenAI Agents SDK in 3 Minutes
OpenAI Agents SDK is built for multi-agent systems. Point the client at ACP's proxy — every LLM and tool call is audited and policy-checked in four lines.
