Microsoft released ASSERT and Agent Control Specification (ACS), two open-source tools that help developers translate high-level AI agent safety and policy requirements into executable tests and controls, enabling systematic evaluation and governance of agent behaviour in production.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Agents and AI Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You have a new way to continuously verify AI agent safety requirements in production without fragile manual tests. Deploy ASSERT and ACS now to catch policy gaps and reduce risky behaviour before customers notice.
