Agents · MCP · A2A · Governance

AI agents that can actually do the work — under your governance.

Every agent on CEIVO has a name, a job, a defined set of granted skills and a logged trail. Trigger → webhook → MCP-traceable session → granted skills only → work → API update. Bring your own framework. Keep your enterprise standards. We participate as the governance layer.

MCP-traceable Scoped per agent Framework-agnostic Tenant-isolated
Agents, governed end to end

Agents you can trust to act.

CEIVO doesn't replace your agent stack — it gives every agent a governed surface to work against. Triggers kick off real work. MCP makes every call traceable. A2A keys and granted skills mean an agent only ever sees what you've authorized. The output flows back through the API and surfaces in your library.

What you get

An agent execution layer with the governance built in.

Four properties make every agent on CEIVO defensible, predictable and ready to extend — whichever runtime it lives in.

MCP-governed access

Every tool call an agent makes flows through the MCP Policy Engine. Tenant-scoped, model-aware, fully logged and queryable. If it isn't logged, it didn't happen — and on CEIVO, everything is logged.

Granular skill grants

Each agent gets an A2A key bound to a named role. The role declares exactly which Agent API skills the agent can call. No implicit access. No ambient credentials. No "the agent could read everything because it had the user's token."

Framework agnostic

Run agents in Databricks, Foundry, Bedrock AgentCore, CrewAI, n8n, Windmill, LangChain — or your in-house runtime. CEIVO is the governance and data layer underneath; the runtime stays your call.

Triggers that fit your workflow

User-invoked from the CEIVO UI. System events on ingest, transcoding or metadata change. Review-and-approve gates that wait for a human signal. Whatever fires the work, the trail starts the same way.

Why this matters

Agency without governance is a security incident waiting to happen.

Every enterprise agent program eventually meets the same three questions from security, legal and infra. CEIVO answers them up front.

Your data stays inside your boundary
Media, embeddings, prompts and agent outputs all stay within your tenant. Agents reach in through MCP — nothing flows out to a SaaS data plane your security team hasn't already approved.
No model or framework lock-in
Pick the runtime your team already knows. Pick the model that fits the job. Swap either at any time without rewriting your agents — the MCP and Agent API surface stays the same.
Auditable from trigger to update
Every trigger, every MCP call, every API write — timestamped, attributable, exportable. Built for compliance reviews you can defend in writing, not for slide decks you have to translate after the fact.
How it works

From trigger to update — in six governed steps.

Same shape every time. Whether the agent is built on Bedrock AgentCore or n8n or your own Python service, the surface CEIVO sees is identical — which is what makes the whole thing auditable.

Step 1
Trigger

A user invokes an agent from the CEIVO UI, a system event fires (ingest, transcode, metadata change), or a review-and-approve gate completes.

Step 2
Webhook to agent

CEIVO calls the agent's webhook endpoint with the trigger context, the requesting identity and a one-time correlation ID for the run.

Step 3
MCP session + A2A key

The agent opens an MCP session back to CEIVO using its A2A key. The session is bound to the agent's role — every call is attributed and logged.

Step 4
Granted skills only

The agent can only see and call the Agent API skills its role grants — search, read, tag, create, trigger workflows. Anything outside scope is denied at the policy layer.

Step 5
Agent does the work

The agent reasons, composes calls and produces a result — using your framework of choice. CEIVO doesn't dictate the runtime; it governs the surface.

Step 6
Update or report

The agent writes back through the Agent API — tags applied, documents created, workflows started, status returned. Activity surfaces in the CEIVO UI and the audit log.

Bring your own Agent Framework

We integrate with your enterprise standard. We don't replace it.

Agent directory

A starting library — extend or replace any of them with your own.

Every agent below is shipped as a structured, plain-language instruction set: versioned, inspectable, owned by you. Clone one and modify it, swap its runtime, or stand up a brand-new agent against the same MCP and Agent API surface. Nothing here is opaque.

🛡️ Compliance & Brand Governance

Most platforms make brand compliance a service you subscribe to. CEIVO makes it a capability you own — when a new franchise launches or a new rule appears, you update the agent the same day.

Brand Visual Compliance

Evaluates logo usage, color accuracy, font adherence and layout rules against your brand style guide. Returns compliance_score, violation_list, recommended_action.

Age Appropriateness

Checks content against ESRB, PEGI, CERO frameworks and territory-specific rating requirements. Flags content that would require a rating change or breach a distribution agreement.

Character / IP Integrity

Validates that character appearances align with official model sheets, flags color palette deviations beyond defined tolerance, and catches scenes where a character appears in a context that conflicts with their canonical personality profile.

Franchise Licensing

Cross-references asset metadata against the active licensing agreement database. Flags any asset containing elements not cleared for the targeted distribution channel.

Legal Compliance

Flags third-party IP, PII risks (faces without releases, visible license plates), missing legal lines and missing disclosures. Reduces attorney scanning to reviewing only the flagged items.

Translation & Localization Compliance

Reviews caption and dubbed audio tracks for brand-tone compliance and territory-specific restrictions. Works directly against caption and audio track data already managed in CEIVO.

Esports / Competitive Content

Applies a separate evaluation standard for competitive content — broadcast graphics, tournament branding, player imagery rights and sponsor placement rules specific to the competitive ecosystem.

Broadcast Clearance

Pre-checks commercial advertising clearance submissions against broadcaster rules. Validates continuity, ratings, product claims and required disclosures before a submission reaches human reviewers.

🔍 Discovery & Intelligence

Find anything, in any format, in plain language — backed by best-in-class video understanding and CEIVO's unified metadata layer.

Natural Language Content Search

Lets users search the library with queries like "practice sessions" or "qualifying highlights" — the agent translates intent into the right underlying searches and returns ranked results with timecodes.

Semantic Clip Finder

Takes descriptive prompts ("two people at a bar with dramatic lighting," "fight scene with rain") and returns ranked scene matches across the entire archive.

Channel Planning

Given a channel concept like "I'm launching a new sports channel," interrogates the library, categorizes content by type, and generates suggested slogans, channel descriptions and a content slate.

People / Talent Catalog

Compiles a catalog of every person referenced across the library, organized by show, sponsor and mentions. Proven at scale: 130+ people extracted from a mid-sized sports library in a single run.

Find Similar Content

Given a reference scene or file, returns "more like this" based on visual similarity, semantic similarity or mood match. Excludes same-video matches by default.

Content Quality Scoring

Scores scenes and thumbnails for fitness for specific downstream uses (social promo, trailer, broadcast). Surfaces visual contrast, motion, composition and rating signals.

🎬 Creative & Production

Promo, trailer, highlight and mood-piece workflows that take a creative brief and return a ranked, timecoded shortlist — or an EDL ready for the editor.

Promo Generator

Existing CEIVO promo-orchestrator pattern; proven on holiday TikTok and F1 compilation workflows. Takes a brief like "make me a 22-second TikTok promo for 3 movies coming in February" and returns a ranked shortlist of candidate scenes plus suggested motion prompts, aspect ratios and pacing.

Highlight Reel

Detects peak moments (goals, crashes, finishes, key plays) and assembles social-ready clips with platform-specific aspect ratios. Reference pattern: F1 checkered-flag compilation for TikTok.

Trailer Builder

Narrative-aware agent that pulls emotional beats and key story moments into a trailer arc. Different scoring criteria than promo (sustained tension vs. instant punch).

Mood Piece

Surfaces atmospheric content with consistent tone — ambient B-roll for documentaries, lifestyle content or brand videos.

Documentary Clip Selector

Interview shots, establishing shots and archival B-roll selected against a documentary outline.

EDL Export

Converts any agent's clip selection into a timeline-ready EDL for Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve or Avid.

📜 Rights, Avails & Lineage

The hardest "Do we have the right to use this?" questions, answered automatically — against your own contract system.

Avails Automation

Answers queries like "what content is available for a specific territory from March to June 2026?" by querying CEIVO's library against your Rights Tracker. Produces sales-ready avail lists with reasons for unavailability.

Group-Level Content Visibility

Federated search across multiple operating-company libraries so a parent organization with 50+ opcos can see what exists where without centralizing storage.

Deduplication

Finds where the same content exists multiple times across the organization (a common pattern in multi-opco groups where the same file can sit in 50+ places). Recommends canonicalization.

Asset Lineage Tracking

When marketing grabs clips from a primary MAM and creates derivatives, this agent maintains the parent-child relationship back to the source material and its contracts — critical for post-hoc rights queries.

Rights Clearance

Cross-references people, brands and product placements detected in content against the active agreements database and flags clearance gaps before distribution.

🔧 Ingest & QC

Automated technical and content QC the moment a new file lands — with structured outputs that downstream agents can act on.

Ingest QC

Existing CEIVO agent framework pattern. Triggered when new files land in storage. Runs frame-by-frame technical QC (black frames, audio dropouts, resolution mismatches, codec compliance) and reports a pass/fail verdict and detailed issue list back to CEIVO.

Face Detection

Identifies and timestamps all faces in a video against a customer-provided roster. Example: "23 instances of target subject detected." Powers talent cataloging, releases verification and people-based search.

Scene Detection & Classification

Segments video into logical scenes, classifies each by type (interview, action, establishing, dialogue), and surfaces results as structured metadata. Runs on ingest for every video.

Metadata Enrichment

Auto-generates structured metadata (topics, entities, settings, sentiment, content rating) on ingest. Feeds downstream search, compliance and recommendation agents.

Caption / Transcript QC

Validates caption files against the audio track, flags misalignments, timing drift and missing speaker labels.

Archive Migration QC

Validates integrity, metadata completeness and duplicate detection during bulk migrations off legacy platforms (Curio, Ateliere, MediaValet, Iconik).

📄 Document & Multi-Format

When a workflow needs to reach beyond video — scripts, contracts, brand guidelines, print proofs — CEIVO can bring documents and reference images alongside the video so an agent can use them as context.

PDF Intelligence

Full-text extraction plus OCR for scanned PDFs, layout-aware parsing for columns and tables, and semantic indexing so PDFs participate in natural-language search alongside video.

Print Proof Compliance

Validates print-ready PDFs (packaging, collateral, TCG card proofs, brochures) against the same brand style guide used for video: color accuracy, logo usage, typography, bleed and trim, required legal lines.

Script & Screenplay Analysis

Ingests script PDFs, extracts scenes, characters, dialogue and locations as structured data, then cross-references against produced video. Answers "did we shoot every scene in the script" and "which version of this line made the cut?"

Contract & Rights Extraction

Parses rights contracts and licensing agreements, extracts structured terms (parties, territories, windows, holdbacks, restrictions), and feeds them into your Rights Tracker or directly into the Avails Agent.

Clearance Document

For regulated broadcast workflows, parses clearance submissions and regulatory PDFs, validates required fields are present, and ties each document to the video asset it governs.

Image Indexing & Brand

Visual embeddings and OCR on still images (JPG, PNG, TIFF, WebP), making stock photos, key art, production stills and social assets searchable with the same natural-language interface as video.

Document-to-Video Cross-Reference

Orchestrates agents across formats. Example: parse a sponsorship contract PDF, pull the name list, run face and transcript detection across the video library, return matched clips with timecodes.

Audio-Only Analysis

For podcast libraries, radio archives and audio-only masters: transcription, speaker diarization, topic extraction, music vs. speech classification and ad-break detection.

📡 Monitoring & Brand Protection

Keep watch for unauthorized use of your IP across sources you can legitimately monitor — and tie findings back to the source material in your library.

External URL Monitoring

Scans a customer-supplied list of off-platform URLs, uploads and partner-provided feeds for unauthorized use of your IP, and matches findings back to CEIVO-managed source material.

Unauthorized Distribution Detector

Takes hits from OSINT tooling or approved content-ID partners, matches them against the content relationship graph to identify the source file, and routes a ticket to the brand-protection team.

Competitive Monitoring

Pulls competitor content from public sources, indexes it in a separate governed library, and surfaces emerging creative trends without bringing unowned content into the main archive.

🧪 Evaluation & Governance

Pick the right model per use case, audit every model call, and cap consumption against an explicit budget envelope.

LLM Compare

Existing CEIVO LLM-compare tool pattern. Runs the same prompt across multiple models (Anthropic, OpenAI, Bedrock, TwelveLabs Pegasus) against a slice of the library, captures cost/tokens/latency, and surfaces a human-in-the-loop rating interface.

Policy Audit

Scans the MCP Policy Engine audit log for unexpected model calls, cost anomalies or attempted policy violations. Generates a weekly governance report.

Cost Governance

Caps agent runs against a budget envelope, routes expensive workloads to cheaper models when appropriate, and alerts on unexpected consumption spikes.

FAQ

Architect questions, answered up front.

The questions security, infra and AI/ML teams ask before they sign off on an agent program. If yours isn't here, send it via the contact form and we'll come back with a written answer.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for how agents connect to tools and data. CEIVO uses it as the surface every agent talks to — one well-defined protocol, governed and logged at the edge. Every call from every agent is tenant-scoped, attributed to a role, and written to an audit log you can query. If a tool call isn't going through MCP, it isn't going through CEIVO.
An Agent-to-Agent (A2A) key is the credential a CEIVO agent presents when it opens an MCP session back to the platform. It binds the session to a named agent role, which declares exactly which Agent API skills the agent can call. Keys are issued per agent, can be rotated independently, and never carry ambient user privileges.
Yes — that's the design centre. We've shipped agents on Databricks, Microsoft Foundry Agent Service, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, CrewAI, n8n, Windmill and LangChain/LangGraph. If your runtime can hold a credential and call HTTP, it can run a CEIVO agent. Your enterprise standard stays your enterprise standard.
Per-agent role definitions, written as plain-language policy. Each role declares which Agent API skills are allowed (read, write, tag, create documents, trigger workflows, delete) and which content scopes apply. The MCP Policy Engine enforces them on every call. Permissions are versioned and inspectable; nothing is implicit.
Wherever you choose. Most enterprise customers run agents in their own cloud account next to the rest of their stack — AWS, Azure, GCP, on-prem — and call back into CEIVO over MCP. CEIVO's data plane is BYOC, so media, embeddings, prompts and outputs all stay inside your tenant.
Every trigger, every MCP call, every Agent API write is captured with a timestamp, the agent identity, the role in effect, the input, the output and a correlation ID for the full run. Logs are queryable from the CEIVO UI and exportable to your SIEM. The Policy Audit agent surfaces anomalies (unexpected models, cost spikes, denied calls) on a weekly cadence.
Yes. Review-and-approve gates are a first-class trigger type. An agent's run can pause for an explicit human signal before progressing, and the gate itself is logged with the approver, the timestamp and the input shown at the time of approval — useful for regulated workflows where the approval record is part of the audit trail.
Whichever ones your policy allows. Anthropic, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex, TwelveLabs, your own hosted models — the model registry is yours to define. The Policy Engine decides per call which models a given agent role can use, so an experimental agent and a production agent can target different model sets without changing application code.
Each agent in the directory is a structured, plain-language instruction set plus a webhook endpoint and a role definition. Clone an existing one and modify it, or stand up a brand-new agent against the same MCP surface. There is no plugin SDK to learn — if your runtime can call HTTP and hold a credential, you have everything you need.
Yes. CEIVO authenticates users through your enterprise IdP (SAML / OIDC) and the same role/group claims drive who can invoke which agents from the UI or via system triggers. The MCP audit log captures the requesting user identity for every agent run, so the question "who asked the agent to do this" always has an answer.
