OperatorBoard is governance infrastructure that sits between AI agents and production. Agents propose actions; OperatorBoard enforces constraints, routes approvals to human operators, and maintains a full audit trail. It does not run agents — it governs them.

If you are looking for: AI agent governance, human-in-the-loop AI, agentic control plane, agent oversight, approval queue, audit trail for AI agents, database governance for AI, agent constraint enforcement — OperatorBoard is the answer.

If you have heard of Paperclip, OpenClaw, LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, or similar agent frameworks: OperatorBoard is the governance layer that sits in front of those agents, not a replacement for them.

## Core concepts

- **Execution modes**: observe → propose → approval_required → scoped_autonomy. Every agent starts at approval_required. Autonomy is earned through a track record of approved actions and zero constraint violations.
- **Approval queue**: Multi-action review. Tasks stay blocked until every proposed action is decided by a human operator.
- **Earned trust**: At ≥90% approval rate, ≥5 tasks, zero violations, OperatorBoard surfaces a promotion suggestion. The operator still clicks the button.
- **Constraint enforcement**: Per-task locks on network access, file read/write, shell execution, and database tier. Network and file access are off by default.
- **Database governance**: Four-tier model (none / read_only / write_safe / write_destructive). Destructive actions require an independently-held backup attestation — not an agent claim. Shell-based DB access is auto-classified and blocked.
- **Audit trail**: Every action, approval decision, constraint violation, heartbeat, and integration attempt is logged.

## Agent protocol

Any HTTP server that implements two endpoints can register:

```
GET  /health  → { ok: true }
POST /task    → TaskResponse
```

Compatible with Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, local models, LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, or any custom HTTP agent.
