Provena: Open-Source Library Governs AI Agent Context Inputs

Provena is an open-source library designed to govern the data that flows into AI agents. It fills a critical gap in AI governance by controlling what information agents receive and process. The project is actively seeking contributors.

Provena addresses a significant oversight in AI systems: while tools exist to manage what AI agents do (Microsoft AGT), what they say (Guardrails AI), and how they communicate (NeMo), the data flowing into their context windows—retriever results, tool outputs, and agent messages—has largely been ungoverned. By providing governance over these inputs, Provena helps ensure that AI agents operate with more reliability and safety.

The project currently has 7 contributors and offers 11 "good first issue" labels and 17 "help wanted" issues, all well-scoped with code examples. If you're interested in contributing to open-source AI projects, visit Provena's GitHub repository at https://github.com/rajfirke/provena to get involved.
