From cf7173ad52b9bfb3c87270a14006e7148370f946 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: haiyuan-eng-google Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 21:18:58 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 01/11] demo(ca-governance): golden-query-via-workflow vs. normal agentic CA MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit A BigQuery Conversational Analytics agent with a governance dial, built on the RFC #93 model-authored-workflow engine. Proves that restricting CA to governed/golden (verified) queries is enforced STRUCTURALLY by the engine — not with a prompt: a WorkflowSpec may only compose capabilities in the CapabilityRegistry, and the validator rejects any plan referencing one that is not. - STRICT registry (match_verified_query, run_frozen_query, summarize, refuse) has no nl2sql -> an adversarial "just write SQL" plan is rejected at validation before any query runs; the same plan validates under FLEXIBLE. - Golden hit -> a frozen, auditable workflow runs the approved SQL on REAL BigQuery (thelook_ecommerce); miss -> STRICT refuses, OPEN falls through to a normal agentic agent (free-form ADK Agent + query_thelook BQ tool). - FLEXIBLE middle ground: gated nl2sql fallback that promotes the result into the governed pool (assisted authoring). Real Gemini + real BigQuery with a deterministic mock-warehouse fallback (engine-labeled). 9 CI-safe tests (no LLM, no BQ) pin the governance proofs. Headless driver (governance_demo.py) as a live-demo backstop. Self-contained; reuses the committed authoring engine.

(Generic framing — fill in your own +customer examples when you present.) + +## The ask, and why the obvious answer fails + +A recurring enterprise request: *"restrict Conversational Analytics to our +governed / golden / verified queries"* — for accuracy and for cost control. Some +customers want a hard boundary (golden-only); others want "constrained but +flexible." + +The tempting answer is to **instruct the model** ("only use golden queries"). +That does not hold: a prompt is a request, not a constraint. An LLM under +pressure, an injected instruction, or a confidently-wrong plan will draft fresh +SQL anyway. **Governance you can't enforce isn't governance.** + +## The mechanism: governance is a registry, not a prompt + +The model-authored-workflow engine gives us the enforcement point for free. A +plan is a typed `WorkflowSpec` that may only compose **capabilities registered in +a `CapabilityRegistry`**, and the `WorkflowSpecValidator` **rejects** any plan +referencing a capability that is not registered — *before anything runs*. + +So "golden-only" is just a registry without a SQL-drafting capability: + +``` +STRICT (golden) : match_verified_query · run_frozen_query · summarize · refuse +FLEXIBLE : … + nl2sql · dry_run · run_adhoc · freeze_verified +``` + +Flipping the governance dial is swapping the registry you hand the validator — +auditable, diffable, testable. The model is never trusted to restrain itself. + +## The beats + +1. **`show modes registry diff`** — governance is a one-line capability + difference, not a sprawling prompt. *(The dial.)* + +2. **`adversarial: …just write SQL`** — an adversarial planner authors a plan + that drafts fresh SQL. Under STRICT it is **rejected at validation** + (`unknown capability 'nl2sql'`); the *same plan* validates under FLEXIBLE. + **This is the proof that you can't prompt your way past governance** — the + control is structural, not instructional. + +3. **`What is total revenue by country? (strict)`** — a **governed hit**: the + question matches a verified query, and a **frozen, auditable workflow** runs + the analyst-approved SQL on **real BigQuery**. Deterministic numbers, replay + the same plan, `0 model-drafted SQL`. *(Accuracy + cost control, delivered.)* + +4. **`…churn cohorts… (strict)`** — no verified query matches, so STRICT + **refuses** rather than guessing. `0 queries run`. *(A hard boundary that + fails safe.)* + +5. **`…churn cohorts… (open mode)`** — the *same* question, dial turned to OPEN, + falls through to a **normal agentic agent** that autonomously queries + BigQuery and answers free-form.
