The AI agents that you can actually run in production
Three things that make Autonomous Worker Agents different.
AI tools that run outside your pipeline have no guardrails — and no accountability
Agents inherit the controls already governing human deployments: sandboxing, scoped credentials, OPA policies, and audit trails.
Writing and maintaining scripts for every pipeline task takes time teams don't have
One file. Commit it and the agent is live, governed, and available across your organization. Use Harness AI to generate it if you'd rather not write it.
Building internal automation tooling takes entire engineering sprints
Harness Managed Agents available across the lifecycle including: Code Review, Autofix, Feature Flag Cleanup, and more. Adopt one, fork it, or build your own.
Three steps: create, configure, run. Your agent is live and governed in minutes.
Sandboxing. Containerized, non-root execution. Read-only filesystem except the workspace. Network access configurable per agent: unrestricted, restricted to allowed MCP servers, or fully disabled.
Scoped Credentials. Harness mints an ephemeral token scoped to the intersection of the agent's permissions and the triggering user's RBAC. An agent triggered by a junior developer cannot exceed that developer's access.
OPA Policy Enforcement. Evaluated at three points: when the template is saved, when the pipeline starts, and when the agent attempts a governed action. Block agents from non-approved models or keep Community agents out of production pipelines.
Audit Trail. Every execution captured with full provenance: who triggered the agent, template version, every action taken, final outcome.
Triggered by Events. CI failures, PR opens, schedules, or AI Chat. Runs automatically without human initiation.
Governed by Default. Inherits OPA policies, RBAC, and audit trails from your Harness pipelines. Nothing to rebuild.
Grounded in Context. Reasons using the Harness Knowledge Graph: services, pipelines, deployments, and incidents.
Built in Minutes. Defined in one Markdown file. Commit it; the agent is live, governed, and in your catalog.
Model Independent (BYOM). Connect Anthropic or OpenAI, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Switch models per agent, per step, or set account defaults — without rewriting agent logic.
MCP & Custom Tools. Agents can call any MCP server (Git, Jira, Slack) or custom tool you register. Extend agents with your own integrations.
Agent as Code. Every agent is a YAML template in source control. Forkable, versioned, and PR-reviewable like the rest of your pipeline config.
Org Marketplace. Publish internal agents to your organization's Agent Marketplace so every team can discover, enable, and use them with one toggle.
Enable any agent with one toggle. All governed, all auditable, all running inside your Harness pipelines.
Publish golden agent templates that every team can self-serve from the Agent Marketplace
Enforce OPA policies across every agent action — define what agents can and cannot do in code
Full audit trail for every agent decision without building custom observability tooling
