DEFINITION
Mesh-Based Control Plane
Service Mesh Control Plane for Agent Governance

A distributed governance architecture that uses service mesh patterns (like Istio sidecars) to manage and enforce policies across heterogeneous AI agent deployments at the network layer, enabling compliance and isolation without requiring agents to share a common framework or runtime.
Examples in the Wild
- Example 1:Recursant using Istio sidecars for agent isolation across different frameworks
- Example 2:Network-layer policy enforcement for multi-cloud agent deployments
