+# Agent Governance Toolkit — GovernancePlugin for Google ADK
+
+A governance plugin for [Google ADK](https://github.com/google/adk-python) that enforces
+policy-as-code rules before tool execution, verifies agent identity, and produces
+tamper-evident audit trails.
+
+Built on the [Agent Governance Toolkit](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-governance-toolkit)
+(v3.2.0, 9,500+ tests, MIT licensed).
+
+## Features
+
+- **Policy enforcement** — Evaluate YAML/OPA/Cedar policies before every tool call (<5ms)
+- **Agent identity** — Zero-trust verification via Ed25519 + SPIFFE
+- **Audit logging** — Merkle-chained tamper-evident action logs
+- **Configurable** — Allow/deny/warn/require-approval actions per policy rules
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pip install agentmesh-platform[server]
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+from google.adk.agents import Agent
+from governance_plugin import GovernancePlugin
+
+governance = GovernancePlugin(
+    policy_dir="./policies",
+    agent_did="did:mesh:my-agent",
+)
+
+agent = Agent(
+    name="governed-agent",
+    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
+    tools=[my_tool],
+    plugins=[governance],
+)
+```
+
+## Policy Example (policies/default.yaml)
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: governance.toolkit/v1
+name: adk-agent-policy
+rules:
+  - name: block-dangerous-tools
+    condition: "action in ['shell_exec', 'file_delete']"
+    action: deny
+  - name: rate-limit-api-calls
+    condition: "action == 'api_call'"
+    action: allow
+    limit: "100/hour"
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+The plugin hooks into ADK's `before_tool_call` lifecycle:
+
+1. **Before tool execution** — GovernancePlugin evaluates the tool name + arguments against loaded policies
+2. **Identity check** — Optionally verifies the calling agent's DID
+3. **Decision** — Allow, deny, warn, or require approval
+4. **Audit** — Logs the decision with Merkle hash chaining
