Give agents real work. Keep every decision yours.
Hive Teams treats an agent like a team member with an identity, a scope and a record. Sessions are logged from check-in to check-out, narration is live, sensitive actions wait for a human, and the rules are written once as policy instead of repeated in review comments.
Trust is built, not declared
Adopting agents is a governance decision before it is a productivity one. These are the mechanisms an engineering leader can point to in a review.
Human approval gates
Sensitive actions — deploys, secret access, production writes — stop and wait for a named person. The agent keeps its context while it waits.
Policy, written once
Which actions need approval, which scopes an agent may hold, which repositories it may touch — defined as policy your platform team owns, applied to every agent.
Recorded sessions
Check-in, live narration, check-out. You can see which agent did what, under whose authority, at what time — during the run, not after the incident.
Agent identity & scopes
Each agent has its own identity and a scope it cannot exceed. No shared service account standing in for a whole fleet.
See what AI costs per work item. Cap it before it surprises you.
Pool your organization's Claude accounts, assign them to agents, and let work continue on another pooled account when a quota runs out. Usage is attributed to the work item that caused it.
Failover happens across your pooled Claude accounts. Cross-provider failover is on the roadmap.
The questions engineering leaders ask first
What if an agent writes the wrong code?
It opens a pull request like anyone else. Nothing merges, deploys or touches production without the approval gate your policy defines.
Does this replace my engineers?
No. Agents take the work your team never gets to, and every consequential decision stays with a person. Your team's judgment is the scarce resource — not typing.
Can we prove what happened?
Session records, approvals and scopes export to your SIEM, so an audit reads the same story your board does.
Adopt agents without giving up oversight.
Approval gates, policy, recorded sessions and cost attribution — the controls that make agent teams a decision you can defend.
