WSO2 Agent Manager aims to brings visibility, control, and accountability to autonomous agents operating across the enterprise.
WSO2 announced the beta launch of WSO2 Agent Manager, an open control plane for AI agents, giving enterprises a unified way to identify, govern, secure, and scale agents across environments. As organizations move from AI experimentation to production, WSO2 Agent Manager aims to brings visibility, control, and accountability to autonomous agents operating across the enterprise.
Organizations are accelerating adoption to avoid being left behind, driven by the promise of non-linear productivity gains that agentic systems can unlock. However, operational maturity is lagging behind. Many teams are forced to choose between moving fast with limited visibility and control, introducing significant unmanaged risk, or slowing progress to build operational frameworks for each runtime and environment, says WSO2.
According to Gartner, more than 40% of agentic AI projects are expected to be canceled by 2027 due to rising costs, unclear value, and insufficient risk controls.
“AI agents introduce a fundamentally new challenge. Their autonomy and probabilistic behavior make them powerful but also difficult to control,” said Rania Khalaf, Chief AI Officer at WSO2. “With WSO2 Agent Manager, we’re bringing agents into the enterprise fabric where they are no longer invisible processes, but identified, governed, accountable entities that can be securely operated at scale.”
As enterprises deploy more AI agents, many are facing “agent sprawl,” with poor coordination, inconsistent controls, and rising compliance risks caused by fragmented tools and platforms.
WSO2 Agent Manager is designed to address this by providing a centralized system to manage all agents. It allows organizations to use different frameworks while maintaining consistent governance, performance monitoring, and policy enforcement across internal and external environments.
WSO2 Agent Manager capabilities include:
- Federated agent management – Manage agents across frameworks and environments, i.e. cloud, on-premises, and hybrid, from a single control plane.
- Agent identity and access delegation – Establish strong identity for agents and securely delegate access, ensuring every action is authenticated, authorized, and auditable.
- Centralized governance and guardrails – Define and enforce policies across agents, LLMs, and tools to control behavior, reduce risk, and ensure compliance.
- Visibility, traceability, and observability – Gain deep insights into agent behavior with end-to-end tracing and track how agents are doing with a rich evaluation framework.
- Secure, scalable runtime – Deploy agents in a Kubernetes-native, zero-trust environment with isolation and lifecycle controls, including real-time intervention.
- Open, framework-agnostic foundation – Built on open standards including OpenTelemetry, OpenAPI, and MCP, enabling compatibility with leading frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, and Ballerina without vendor lock-in.
WSO2 Agent Manager, which will be generally available in June 2026, is released under the Apache 2.0 license and is designed to avoid vendor lock-in.
