HOOKBUS SUBSCRIBER #1

CRE
Composable Rule Enforcer

When there is no human in the loop, CRE is the Agent in the Loop.

Two-layer governance for AI agents. Every tool call passes through CRE before execution. The AI cannot bypass, disable, or argue with it.

Patent Pending GB2604445.3 Runs on HookBus™

Three scenarios. One mechanical gate.

66 SECONDS · HARD BLOCK · AGENTKNOWLEDGE INJECTION · AGENTFLOW APPROVAL

Deterministic speed. Semantic depth.

LAYER 1

Microsoft AGT + Pattern Engine

Under 10ms

Microsoft Agent Governance Toolkit provides semantic threat classification across destructive, exfiltration, and privilege escalation categories. Combined with our proprietary regex pattern engine for your organisation's policies.

LAYER 2

IBM Granite 4 Intent Verification

Under 1s on CPU. No cloud. No GPU.

IBM Granite 4 (Apache 2.0) runs locally. Verifies the AI's action matches what the user actually asked for. Catches substitutions, shortcuts, and creative reinterpretations.

What CRE does that system prompts cannot.

Mechanical enforcement

Operates outside the AI's context window as a mandatory checkpoint. The AI cannot skip, modify, or argue with it.

Intent alignment

L2 verifies the agent's tool call matches the user's explicit instruction. Nobody else checks this.

AgentFlow approval

Human approval chain for sensitive operations. CRE pauses the action, AgentFlow routes the request to the named approver via CLI, email, or Slack, the response is recorded, and the audit trail captures who approved what and when.

Self-learning rules

L2 decisions automatically promote to L1 patterns with human approval. Faster and more accurate over time.

Anti-evasion

Detects encoded commands, lateral movement, and scripts designed to bypass enforcement.

Audit-evidence producing

Full audit trail, every decision logged. Pairs with the HookBus™ AgentAuditor subscriber to produce the SHA-256 hash-chained evidence a SOC 2, ISO 27001, or ISO 42001 assessor expects.
