AI agents are already reasoning, planning, and executing autonomously in production. The industry response so far is a band-aid on a broken bone — bolting traditional controls onto something that fundamentally breaks the assumptions those controls were built on.
Breach is the premise. Containment is the architecture.
ZoD is a 7-layer reference architecture that defines hard boundaries between an agent's reasoning and its execution. Core principle: the process that reasons should never be the process that executes privileged actions.
This isn't just system security. When an AI companion optimized for engagement interacts with a vulnerable user and no architectural layer intervenes — that's not a product failure. That's a design gap. Human oversight is a structural layer in ZoD, not an afterthought.
It's vendor-neutral, open source, and released as an open RFC — because getting this right takes the right combination of minds to protect humans and the AI tools we want to trust but shouldn't.
