agent control specification

The agent control specification tag on WindowsForum.com covers Microsoft's Agent Control Specification (ACS) and its role in governing AI agent behavior. Discussions highlight that ACS is a portable policy format for defining rules, but it does not enforce anything by itself. Instead, the application or framework host must call the policy runtime at the appropriate point in an agent workflow and honor its verdict before a tool executes or data is returned. The related ASSERT evaluation framework serves as a discovery and regression-testing layer. This tag is relevant for developers and IT professionals working with tool-using assistants, focusing on practical architecture decisions for implementing agent safety and control in enterprise environments.
