Comparison to LangGraph
LangGraph is a powerful library for building stateful, multi-actor applications. SafeAgent shares this goal but takes a different, more opinionated approach focused on production-readiness from day one.
Philosophy
- LangGraph: A flexible, low-level toolkit that requires you to build your own surrounding architecture for governance, reliability, and operational monitoring.
- SafeAgent: A "batteries-included" framework providing a complete architecture with pre-integrated, production-grade components for these critical functions.
Key Differences
| Feature | LangGraph | SafeAgent |
|---|---|---|
| Governance | Not a built-in feature. | A core, defining feature. Automatic, detailed audit logs for every action. |
| Reliability | Requires custom implementation. | Built-in via declarative policies. Caching, retries, and circuit breakers. |
| Security | Requires a custom solution. | Built-in via declarative policies. RBAC to restrict tool access. |
| Tool Management | Manual schema creation. | Automatic schema generation and semantic search to find relevant tools. |
When to Choose Which?
- Choose LangGraph when you need highly customized or unconventional graph structures, or prefer to build your own architecture from low-level primitives.
- Choose SafeAgent when your priority is building robust, observable, and secure agents for production, and you want to accelerate development with pre-built solutions.
