AGF

Architecture Diagrams

Visual reference models for the AGF framework — rings, security, deployment, observability, and more.

AGF includes 21 architecture diagrams. Key diagrams are shown below. All diagrams are available in the diagrams/ directory.

The Rings Model

The Rings Model — Governed Agentic Systems

Four concentric rings organizing governance into composable layers, with cross-cutting fabric and environment substrate. Learn more

Ring Deployment Modes

Ring Deployment Modes — Wrapper, Middleware/Interrupt, and Graph-Embedded

The same logical rings manifest differently depending on system type. Learn more

Three-Level Security Model

Three-Level Security Model

Security as a pervasive concern: Fabric (enforcement), Governance (policy), Intelligence (detection). Learn more

Composition Patterns

Composition Patterns — Progressive Build-Up

From Minimum Viable Control to Full Governed System. Learn more

Security Response Bus

Security Response Bus

Pre-authorized fast-path from Security Intelligence to Security Fabric, bypassing governance deliberation for defined threat classes.

Event Flow — Observability

Event Flow — Agentic Observability Architecture

How events flow from ring execution through the correlation engine to the three detection perspectives.

Agent Environment Stack

Agent Environment Stack

The five layers of the agent operating environment governed by Primitive #19.

Zero Trust Identity Flow

Zero Trust Identity Flow

Identity verification at every ring boundary — no implicit trust.
