Agent inventory

In short: An agent inventory is the single, current list of every AI agent an organisation runs. Each entry records the platform, identity, owner, purpose, tools and reachable systems. Governance starts here, because unlisted agents cannot be reviewed, limited or revoked when something goes wrong.
