Docker AI Governance

Help your customers secure their AI agents

Customers shouldn’t have to choose between moving fast with AI agents and keeping them under control. Docker AI Governance gives them one platform to contain, curate, and control agentic workloads on the Docker foundation they already run. It is vertically integrated but horizontally open, working with the identity, observability, and model vendors customers already use.
Contain

Sandboxed agent runtime

Run agents in isolated environments with runtime limits, so a misbehaving agent stays contained.

Curate

Approved MCP servers and tools

Give developers a vetted catalog and gateway, so only approved tools reach production agents.

Control

Policy, visibility, and audit

Set allowlists and policies centrally, with logging and audit trails that map to compliance requirements.

Built on the Docker foundation customers already run

Open to the identity, observability, and model vendors customers already use
