This resubmits #3030, which was closed on 2026-04-07 because the project had only 37 stars (minimum 100 required, or strong justification for Hidden Gem). asqav-sdk is now at 111 stars, above the 100 threshold.
Hidden Gem Submission
Adding asqav under a new Governance subcategory in AI and Agents.
What is asqav?
asqav is an open-source Python SDK for AI agent governance. It provides tamper-evident audit trails, tool scanning, and policy enforcement for agents. It integrates natively with LangChain, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents SDK, Haystack, LiteLLM, and MCP.
Why it belongs here
There is currently no governance tooling listed in the AI and Agents section. As agents move into production, governance becomes essential: audit trails for agent decisions, policy enforcement before tool calls execute, and compliance artifacts for auditors. asqav fills this gap in the Python ecosystem.
Hidden Gem justification
Traction: 111 GitHub stars (above the 100 minimum)
Unique niche: Only open-source Python library focused specifically on agent governance (audit trails, tool scanning, policy enforcement) in a single SDK
Strong integrations: Works with the major orchestration frameworks already listed in this section (LangChain, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents SDK, Haystack, LiteLLM, MCP)
Real-world focus: Built for teams deploying agents under EU AI Act and DORA compliance, targeting regulated industries
Active development: Consistent commits, multiple releases, production-ready
Production-ready: Available on PyPI (pip install asqav), MIT licensed, Python >=3.10
