Could you build this?
Partial The dashboard and proxy wrapper for capturing agent traces can be vibe-coded, but building a production-grade control plane with human-in-the-loop approvals, deterministic guardrails, and compliance export engines requires non-trivial distributed systems work.
What it would actually take: The system needs an agent execution interceptor or SDK (proxying OpenTelemetry traces and tool calls) that can pause agent loops synchronously awaiting human approvals or guardrail checks. Backend requires high-throughput event streaming (Kafka or ClickHouse for trace logging) and an evaluation engine assessing compliance against EU AI Act / ISO 42001 standards. Expertise in AI safety pipelines, asynchronous distributed workflows, and regulatory compliance mapping is essential.
