Agents act on live pricing and capacity data
Routing and dispatch decisions happen against real-time data, so a bad decision propagates immediately.
By industry
Routing and dispatch agents, governed at network speed.
Carrier- and partner-facing agents act on live pricing and capacity data, crossing your trust boundary constantly. A misrouted decision or a leaked rate table has real cost, fast- governance has to keep pace with the network, not slow it down.
Why it matters
The network doesn't stop to wait for a review
Partner-facing agents cross your trust boundary
Carrier and partner integrations sit outside your direct control, but the data they touch doesn't stop mattering because of that.
Cost shows up fast
A misrouted shipment or a leaked rate table has real, immediate financial consequence-not a quarterly one.
What Lineation does
Accountability that doesn't slow the network down
Scoped identity per carrier & lane
Each carrier, lane, and integration gets its own agent identity, not a shared credential.
Default-deny on pricing writes
Write access to pricing and capacity data requires explicit policy allowance.
Anomaly detection on decisions
Routing and pricing decisions are compared against baseline to catch what's unusual, not just what's wrong.
Full decision replay
Any shipment-affecting agent action can be traced from trigger to outcome.
How it works
Five steps to accountable dispatch
Inventory routing agents
Every agent touching routing, dispatch, or pricing systems is identified.
Scope per carrier & partner
Identity and policy are defined per carrier, lane, and integration.
Deny writes by default
Pricing and capacity data require explicit allowance to write.
Detect anomalous decisions
Routing and pricing choices are compared against each agent's baseline.
Replay any flagged decision
A full trace from trigger to outcome is available for investigation.
FAQ
Common questions
How does this govern agents talking to external carrier systems?
Each carrier and partner integration gets its own scoped identity and policy, without shared credentials across integrations.
Can this stop an agent from writing an incorrect rate?
Yes-write access to pricing and capacity systems can be denied by default, requiring explicit policy allowance.
Does this add latency to real-time dispatch?
Policy evaluates against a cached rule set at the endpoint, adding negligible latency on the happy path.
How is a carrier-facing agent different to govern?
It crosses your trust boundary by definition, so identity and monitoring assume data leaving the boundary is visible to a party you don't fully control.
Can this detect an anomalous but not technically wrong decision?
Yes-anomaly detection compares decisions against an agent's own baseline, flagging unusual choices even without a broken rule.
What's captured if a shipment decision needs investigation?
A full lineage chain from the triggering event through every tool call and data touch to the final decision.
Keep the network fast and the decisions accountable.
Scoped identity and default-deny policy for every carrier and lane.
