Skovos Governance connector: documentation
Skovos Governance gives health systems a registry of record for their AI agents, explicit permission checks, a tamper-evident audit trail, a stop control the hospital owns, and signed evidence that those controls ran. This connector exposes those capabilities to Claude and ChatGPT over the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Example prompts
- "Show me the governance overview."
- "Can the Prior Auth Agent write to orders?"
- "Stop the sepsis agent; it is firing too many false alerts."
- "Export the signed evidence for our auditor and verify it."
Limits
Skovos governs agents that report into it or are checked through it. It does not observe systems it is not connected to. Evidence export uses a self-declared profile pending OVERT registration.
