What is Agent Control?

Open-source runtime for AI agents that steers self-corrections instead of blocking violations, integrated with Strands Agents.

How does Agent Control differ from traditional hooks?

Hooks block and halt; Agent Control guides the agent to fix and continue without user input, with server-managed rules.

Can I use Agent Control for my own AI agents?

Absolutely — it's open-source, plugs into Strands, rules via API. Start with the booking demo.
