CROSS-CATEGORY: Agent Governance Landed in Three Unrelated Layers of the Stack Inside Ten Days
Google Cloud moved seven Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform features to GA on July 29 — Agent Identity as a native SPIFFE-based IAM type with least-privilege enforcement and non-repudiable auditing, plus Agent Gateway, Registry, Evaluation, Observability, Memory Bank, and a Runtime supporting agents that run continuously for up to seven days. Anaconda then acquired Enkrypt AI on August 4 to add security, compliance and governance across models, agents and MCP servers to its dev stack. On August 8, Toolport shipped tool integrity checks, quarantine, and OS-keychain secret storage as free open source. Cloud platform, data-science distro, and indie tool all reached the same conclusion in ten days: an agent needs an identity, an audit trail, and a permission boundary before it needs more capability.
