Enterprise Data Agent Governance

A synthetic evaluation dataset and machine-readable control framework for testing whether enterprise data agents should answer, request clarification or refuse a question.

Last reviewed: 15 September 2026 · Version: 0.1.0 · Repository type: Dataset

Enterprise Data Agent Governance is an open practitioner framework for deciding when an AI agent may answer a question from enterprise data, when it must request clarification or defer, and what evidence an organization should retain.

This dataset distribution is intended for Hugging Face’s dataset viewer and evaluation workflows. GitHub remains canonical for files, schemas, version history and releases. The public reference site explains the wider framework; the GitBook implementation guide provides navigable implementation guidance.

Dataset summary

The test split contains 18 synthetic questions, equally divided across three expected decision bands:

Band	Rows	Intended behavior
answer	6	Permission, fields and meaning are sufficient to answer.
needs_definition	6	Data may exist, but an owned definition, threshold or scope is needed.
refuse	6	Data, authorization, assumptions or an approved action is absent.

The questions and personas are synthetic. The repository contains no confidential company data, credentials, customer records, production schemas, query logs, personal information or event-registration data.

Contents

Path	Purpose
data/evaluation-set.jsonl	Viewer-compatible evaluation cases (test split)
data/controls.json	Sixteen governance controls
data/mnemiq-evidence.json	Version-pinned worked-example evidence record
schemas/evaluation-case.schema.json	JSON Schema for each evaluation row
schemas/governance-control.schema.json	JSON Schema for the control set
CITATION.cff	Canonical citation metadata copied from GitHub
LICENSE-CONTENT	CC BY 4.0 text and data terms
LICENSE-CODE	MIT terms for code

Evaluation fields

Field	Meaning
id	Stable case identifier: ANS, DEF or REF prefix
band	One of answer, needs_definition, refuse
persona	Synthetic requester role
question	Synthetic enterprise-data question
required_fields	Fields needed for the intended decision route; empty where none should be retrieved
expected	Expected routing behavior, including the reason for refusal where applicable
rationale	Human-readable reason for the expected route

required_fields is a sequence of strings in every row, including an empty sequence when appropriate, so the viewer receives a stable feature type.

Intended use

Use this dataset to build an organization-specific AI agent evaluation benchmark for governed text-to-SQL and other enterprise AI data access paths. A typical evaluation should:

1. choose a bounded schema and synthetic or safely controlled data;
2. map the sample fields to local equivalents;
3. define personas, grants, certified meanings and expected outcomes before running tests;
4. capture the response, generated query, policy decision and verification state;
5. grade the routing decision and, for answered cases, the returned data; and
6. rerun after material schema, semantic, policy, model, prompt or data changes.

The set is also suitable for AI agent refusal testing, regression-test design, governance-control workshops and evaluation-harness examples.

Recommended metrics

Answer rate alone is inadequate: it measures coverage, not truth or safety. Report at least:

• Answer rate: attempted answers divided by all cases.
• Correct-answer rate: correct answers divided by answered cases.
• Appropriate-refusal rate: safely declined refusal-required cases divided by refusal cases.
• Harmful-answer rate: unsupported, unauthorized or materially wrong answers divided by all cases.
• Clarification accuracy: correct requests for clarification or correct application of a certified definition divided by definition-dependent cases.

Publish numerators, denominators, grading rules, dataset version, system configuration and failure examples. Grade returned data where possible rather than SQL-string similarity alone.

Inappropriate uses

Do not use this dataset to:

• claim universal safety, compliance, security, certification or legal adequacy;
• rank products without a disclosed, reproducible and like-for-like protocol;
• authorize access to production data;
• substitute synthetic results for deployment-specific controls;
• train a system to infer restricted schema or evade policy; or
• claim that Mnemiq passed this benchmark without an actual, reproducible evaluation.

Mnemiq evidence record

Mnemiq is included as a publicly inspectable worked case study. The evidence record is pinned to upstream commit a08fe859c2ee38eb95f3239ee71a11e8f47b75ba, reviewed 15 September 2026, and distinguishes implemented, supported, implemented_and_evaluated and deployment_responsibility statuses. These are scoped code-and-documentation observations, not a benchmark result, security audit, certification or statement about an unknown deployment.

Dataset creation and validation

The evaluation cases and controls are copied from the canonical GitHub repository at framework version 0.1.0. The Mnemiq JSON record is a faithful JSON conversion of the canonical YAML evidence record. Preparation checks include:

• the repository’s standard-library validator;
• JSON and line-by-line JSONL parsing;
• JSON Schema validation where a validator is available;
• stable feature-type and row-count checks for dataset-viewer compatibility;
• privacy and prohibited-data scans;
• link, disclosure, license and unsupported-claim checks.

See VALIDATION.md in this upload bundle for recorded results.

Limitations

The 18 cases are a starter set, not a representative sample of every enterprise schema, sector, jurisdiction or threat. Synthetic questions do not measure the correctness of a live database result by themselves. Local definitions, access policies, data quality, source behavior and operating controls determine deployment outcomes. Passing one band or control does not compensate for a failure elsewhere.

The framework is not legal, compliance or security advice. Organizations must adapt it to their own risk, data, jurisdiction and operating environment.

Disclosures and maintenance

This project is independently maintained by Murray Newlands as a personal practitioner resource. It is not official product documentation for Mnemiq or Agentic Fabriq and does not constitute independent certification or validation of any vendor. Agentic Fabriq develops and maintains Mnemiq. Murray Newlands advises Agentic Fabriq.

The approved dataset identifier is murraylovecode/enterprise-data-agent-governance. Murray Newlands independently maintains the resource under the murraylovecode identity. It is not an Open Future Forum research report or official vendor documentation.

Contributing

Propose additional cases through the canonical GitHub repository. Each case should use synthetic content, identify its decision band, expected route and rationale, and avoid credentials, confidential schemas, customer records and personal information. Product mappings must cite a version or commit and disclose relevant relationships.
