PALO FRAMEWORKDirect path
An agent calls an operational tool with a reusable credential. A successful API response can be mistaken for a correct business outcome.
Why PALO-AI
An agent can be authorized—and still be wrong.
PALO-AI extends governance beyond permission. It binds declared authority, policy and human oversight to protected execution, a trusted receipt and verification of the effect that actually occurred.
Developer Preview: use isolated data and reversible, non-consequential tools. This is not a production authorization service or certified security boundary.
The technical difference
Logging an action is not the same as governing it.
Governed path
The exact claim, authority, approval, capability, receipt and observed outcome become one reviewable chain.
Assurance path
When authoritative post-state contradicts the declared effect, the resource is held and an incident is opened.
Enforcement condition: a policy decision is
authoritative only when direct privileged paths are removed and the
protected connector cannot be reached around the governed path.

Evidence state
What can be independently reviewed?
What PALO changes
Five governance questions become one evidence chain
Authority
Who may act, for what purpose, on which resource and within which limits?
Oversight
Which exact immutable claim needs review, and who is accountable for it?
Execution
Can the action run only through a one-time, claim-bound capability?
Evidence
What did the trusted executor actually attempt and record?
Outcome
Does authoritative post-state satisfy the Effect Contract?
Response
If evidence mismatches or is inconclusive, is the resource held for review?
Know the boundary before adoption
Prototype evidence is not production assurance.
Inspect what is implemented, what remains a prototype and the nine independently testable production gates. Then choose the shortest evaluation route for your build mode.
