A distinct control-plane category is forming for governing agent fleets: Zafin AIOS (banking), Thoughtworks Agent/works (cloud-agnostic governed runtime, June 16), Galileo's open-source Agent Control, and Microsoft Agent 365's policy controls in public preview. These are independent control planes to inventory, evaluate, and budget sprawling agent estates, a net-new line item for CIOs.
