Introduction
ctxmesh is a Kubernetes-native platform for building, governing, and operating AI agents at scale. You describe an agent declaratively as a Kubernetes custom resource, and the platform provides the production substance around it: serving and autoscaling, model routing and cost governance, content guardrails, human-in-the-loop approvals, eval-gated rollout, feedback capture, and deep tracing.
Why ctxmesh
Section titled “Why ctxmesh”Getting an agent to work is a prototype. Getting it to run safely, observably, and repeatably in production is the hard part — and it is mostly operational: which model, at what cost ceiling; what the agent is allowed to say and do; who signs off on a risky tool call; how a new prompt or model is proven before it serves real traffic; and how you see what actually happened. ctxmesh makes those concerns first-class and declarative, instead of bespoke glue per team.
What you get
Section titled “What you get”- Agents as custom resources — an
AgentDeploymentcaptures the image, model route, tools, memory, and scaling in one spec; the platform reconciles it into a running, autoscaled service. - Governance —
GuardrailPolicy(PII redaction, pattern denylists, an optional LLM judge), a declarativeApprovalPolicyfor gating tool calls on human approval, and per-tenant budgets — all enforced fail-closed. - Quality & rollout — an
EvalSuitegates promotion; a canary serves a candidate on a traffic split and can auto-progress (or roll back) on the online score. - Observability — the step → tool → model causal tree, cost, and feedback, correlated to traces, without you instrumenting your code.
- Multi-tenancy — namespaced isolation and RBAC-scoped access, following standard operator conventions.
Who it’s for
Section titled “Who it’s for”Platform and ML-platform teams who already run Kubernetes and want to offer agents to their organization with the same rigor they apply to any other production workload.
- Installation — get the platform running on a cluster.
- Quickstart — deploy and talk to your first agent.
- Architecture — how the pieces fit together.
