Draft:Agent runtime

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


An agent runtime is a software execution environment that supports the operation of autonomous AI agents, described in technology publications as a managed layer providing functions like orchestration and security.[1]

History and reception

[edit]

The term appeared in academic research in the early 2020s, with preprints describing runtime modules for agent memory, scheduling, and tool use.[2] Industry analysts have noted that the practical reliability of AI agents often falls short of their promised capabilities.[3]

Security and governance

[edit]

Computer security research has proposed using the agent runtime for security enforcement, for example by analyzing an agent's runtime trace to detect attacks and apply safety policies.[4]
