Why this is canonical
The control tower metaphor is established in operations and logistics (air traffic control, supply chain control towers) for the layer that provides real-time visibility, coordination, and intervention authority over complex distributed systems. Applied to agentic AI, it names the specific organizational and technical layer that gives human operators oversight of autonomous agent fleets — a concept that maps directly onto emerging AI governance requirements around human-in-the-loop control.
