a more powerful engine, essentially.
This requires tracking sessions.
The other piece that was interesting there is, like, there are these very low-level events it's doing, and you want some libraries on top that parse them.
Like, for example, we have a MCP server on Google Drive internally.
It's got 60 API calls.
how do I know which of those will share a document with stuff on the internet and which ones won't?
It's annoying.
So we designed in Omnigen the policy layer so that it's functions and you can have libraries, like someone can make something that maps the low-level events to high-level ones, and then you write a policy about the high-level things that came out.
Yeah, Panther will help with that.
Panther is kind of a similar idea on the event processing side and it's Python based versus a weird custom language.
This is sort of more as in real time as things are happening.
Yeah.
So yeah, but these are the cool things.
I think the contextual or stateful part, and then the way it can be libraries, and that was another reason to make it open source because others will write libraries and we and our customers can use them.
The final thing, because it's stateful, one of the states we track is how much you spent in that session.
I asked an agent to debug something and it spent $500 because it decided to read a lot of log files.
Burn a lot of tokens.
But I can literally say, okay, launch a sub-agent to do this and cap it to spending $5.
Like, ask me for permission if it needs more.
And because we're counting that within that session, it will pop up and tell me, okay, you spent $5.
