Marketplaces are a good stress test for AI agent governance because the same workflow can move across very different risk levels.
An agent might read an order, summarize a dispute, draft a seller message, update a listing, recommend a refund, or change a policy flag. Those actions all sit next to each other in the operator's day, but they should not share the same authority path.
The first split is between assistance and authority.
Agents should be allowed to help with investigation, summarization, drafting, and internal recommendations. That is where they create speed without needing final control.
But the moment an action affects a customer, seller, partner, payment, public message, or policy state, the organization needs a decision record.

The labels differ. The control problem is the same. Agents can propose. The deployer decides. OSuite proves the decision path.
