01
Catch task expansion
See when a focused coding task starts turning into extra reads, commands, and changes.
Use cases
For Engineering Teams
Let Coding Agents Work. Know When They Go Too Far.
A small coding task can turn into extra files, commands, tool calls, and work outside the assignment. Governor shows you when the agent starts going beyond what you asked it to do.
Video demonstration
Watch the task unfold and see where the agent’s work moves beyond its assigned scope.
Why it matters
Know when a small coding task gets out of hand.
02
Catch scope expansion
See when the agent starts touching another project, file, system, or environment.
03
Understand where the extra work came from
See the actions behind a long-running or resource-heavy agent session instead of only seeing the final token or time total.
How Governor helps
Connect the coding task to the agent’s runtime actions.
The agent starts with a task and an expected scope. Governor follows its runtime actions and surfaces where the work begins to expand beyond what was assigned.
Time, tokens, files, commands, and tool activity can show that a run became large.
Governor shows where the work stopped matching the task.
Why Governor is different
Why Governor Is Different
Observability can tell you
The agent used 86K tokens and ran for 18 minutes.
Governor helps answer
Which actions turned a timeout fix into 24 files, 11 commands, and changes outside the project?
That is the governance question.
