Why this is canonical

The plural 'controls' is significant: it names the full set of governance mechanisms, not a single control layer or protocol. In security, compliance, and operational contexts, 'controls' is the standard term for the enumerable collection of policies, procedures, and technical mechanisms that manage risk. Applied to agents, 'agent controls' names the practical governance toolkit — the complete set of mechanisms for managing what agents do. On .ai, this compound occupies an accessible, operations-facing position in the agent control cluster.
