🚀 TealTiger v1.3.0 — Autonomous Agent Governance

Launch Date: May 18, 2026 · 9:00 AM IST (3:30 AM UTC)

---

We're excited to announce TealTiger v1.3.0 — the most comprehensive governance release yet. This version introduces deterministic, cryptographically verifiable governance for autonomous AI agents across the full lifecycle: identity, access, behavior, cost, evidence, and compliance.

What's New

Core Engine

• TealEngine v1.3 — Pre/post evaluation pipeline with sequential short-circuit stages
• Automation Levels — auto_allow, auto_deny, auto_sanitize, approval_required
• FREEZE Rules — Immutable emergency kill switches with tamper detection
• PLAN_ONLY Mode — Block side-effects while allowing read-only operations
• Policy Hot-Swap — Live bundle replacement with validation and rollback
• Anti-Tamper Controls — Signed bundles, forbidden config key rejection, workload identity binding

Non-Human Identity (NHI) Governance

• Agent lifecycle management (active, suspended, revoked)
• Scope and environment enforcement
• Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) with JIT grants
• Agent attestation and integrity verification

New Governance Modules

Module	Purpose
TealProof	Cryptographic governance receipts — Merkle trees + RFC 3161 timestamping
TealFlow	Declarative YAML governance workflows with org-level inheritance
TealClassifier	Local ONNX-based ML inference for content classification
TealDrift	Behavioral drift detection with statistical baselines
TealState	Context size governance with provenance metadata
TealTemporal	Session TTL, cooldown periods, time-of-day restrictions
TealMonitor v2	Governance-owned cost limits, anomaly detection, reasoning-token budgets

Security & Compliance

• OWASP Agentic Top 10 Policy Pack — Zero-config governance for all 10 ASI risks
• TealGuard v2 — Unicode normalization, encoded output detection, markdown exfiltration, multimodal governance
• TealMemory v2 — Provenance tagging, instruction injection detection, exfiltration prevention
• TealRegistry v2 — MCP definition-drift monitoring, tool description injection scanning
• Secure Change Governance — CODE_CHANGE action class with path/branch allowlists and two-person rule

Evidence & Observability

• SOC/IR Pipeline — SIEM export (JSON, CEF, LEEF), OpenTelemetry spans, response hooks with dedup
• TEEC v2.0.0 — Enhanced evidence envelopes with NHI identity, proof, cost evidence, OWASP category
• Governance Passport — Per-agent cryptographic compliance summary
• Verification SDK — Three-level verification (integrity, sufficiency, appropriateness)

Platform Adapters

• AWS Bedrock Agents — Native guardrail adapter
• AWS AgentCore — Pre/post action governance plugin
• Azure AI Agent Service — Tool-call pipeline middleware

Provider Expansion (12 total)

Five new providers: DeepSeek, Groq, Together AI, HuggingFace TGI, xAI (Grok)
— joining OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Cohere, and Mistral.

Python Parity

Full feature parity across TypeScript and Python SDKs — identical schemas, identical decisions, same ONNX models.

Install

# TypeScript
npm install tealtiger@1.3.0

# Python
pip install tealtiger==1.3.0

# Docker
docker pull tealtigeradmin/tealtiger-typescript:1.3.0
docker pull tealtigeradmin/tealtiger-python:1.3.0

Quick Start

import { TealEngineV13 } from 'tealtiger';

const engine = new TealEngineV13({
  policy_packs: ['owasp-agentic-top10'],
  nhi: { inventory: myAgentInventory },
  proof: { enabled: true },
  cost: { per_request_max: 0.50 }
});

const decision = await engine.evaluate(request);
// → { action: 'ALLOW', risk_score: 0.12, proof: { merkle_root: '...' }, ... }

What's Next

v1.4 will focus on developer adoption and onboarding — zero-friction integration, interactive CLI wizards, and self-service governance templates.
