The TealTiger Azure AI Agent Service middleware integrates governance into the Azure AI Agent Service tool-call pipeline. It intercepts tool invocations, evaluates them against governance policy, and enforces decisions before the tool executes — all within the Azure ecosystem.
This middleware mitigates the risk of ungoverned tool execution in Azure AI Agent Service deployments. Without governance middleware, agents can invoke any registered tool without policy checks, cost limits, or audit evidence.
