Simulation Gates

ArgentOS Business — Simulation gates are part of the Business governance tier.

Overview

Simulation gates are optional quality checkpoints that evaluate agent behavior before allowing deployment. They run test suites against agent policies and score the results across four dimensions.

Four Component Scores

Component	What It Measures
`objectiveAdherence`	Does the agent pursue its defined objective?
`boundaryCompliance`	Does the agent respect neverDo and allowedActions?
`escalationCorrectness`	Does the agent escalate at the right times?
`outcomeQuality`	Are the agent’s outputs high quality?

Each score is 0-1. The gate aggregates scores across test suites and compares against minimum thresholds.

Gate Modes

Mode	Behavior
Warn	Scores are computed and logged. Agent deploys regardless. Use during initial setup to understand baseline performance.
Enforce	Scores must meet minimums. Agent deployment is blocked if any component falls below threshold. Use in production.

Configuration

{
  "simulationGate": {
    "enabled": true,
    "mode": "enforce",
    "suites": ["support-basic", "escalation-scenarios"],
    "minPassRate": 0.8,
    "minComponentScores": {
      "objectiveAdherence": 0.85,
      "boundaryCompliance": 0.95,
      "escalationCorrectness": 0.80,
      "outcomeQuality": 0.75
    },
    "reportPath": "~/.argentos/reports/simulation/"
  }
}

Simulation gates can be configured globally or per-agent. Agent-level gates override the global gate.

Worker Wizard Defaults

When creating agents through the Worker Wizard, each template comes with recommended simulation defaults:

Template	Boundary Compliance	Escalation Correctness	Outcome Quality	Mode
MSP T1 Support	90%	85%	75%	Enforce
Developer	80%	70%	85%	Warn
Research Analyst	—	—	—	Disabled
Project Manager	—	—	—	Disabled

When to Use

New agent deployment — verify the agent behaves within policy before going live
Policy changes — re-run simulations after modifying department or global policies
Compliance audits — generate reports showing agent adherence to organizational rules
Regression testing — catch behavior drift after model or config changes
