Harnesses Bring Coordination and Guardrails to Enterprise AI Agents
Enterprise AI agents need guardrails. The tools that wrap them—'harnesses'—are becoming the new layer between autonomy and chaos.
Why it matters
As autonomous agents move into production workflows, a new infrastructure category is emerging to coordinate multi-agent behavior and enforce safety constraints. Harnesses are becoming essential plumbing for enterprise deployments.
