What's open source

The Apache-2.0 surface is generous by design: it must be sufficient to run real production fleets, not a crippled trial.

What's not in the product

  • Joch is not an agent SDK. We do not compete with OpenAI Agents SDK, Claude Agent SDK, Google ADK, Microsoft Agent Framework, LangGraph, or CrewAI.
  • Joch is not a model provider. We do not host inference; we route through providers.
  • Joch is not a notebook or playground. We assume teams already author agents in their preferred SDK.

Standards posture

Joch implements OWASP AOS faithfully:

  • AgBOM → CycloneDX, SPDX, SWID.
  • Hooks → standard allow / deny / modify decisions across every gateway.
  • Trace events → OpenTelemetry and OCSF.

This makes Joch interoperable with third-party Guardian Agents, BOM consumers, and SIEMs out of the box.

Buyer-facing summary

"Joch is the vendor-neutral control plane for your AI agent fleet. It runs on the SDKs your teams already use, governs every tool and MCP call uniformly, gives you a versioned AgBOM for every agent, and exports clean OpenTelemetry and OCSF telemetry to whatever you already operate."
