CrewAI features

  • No-code visual editor. Drag-and-drop canvas to design agentic workflows, exportable to Python.
  • Role-based agents. Define distinct agent roles to simplify orchestration and ensure deterministic flows.
  • Governance control plane. Real-time tracing, RBAC, audit trails, SSO and PII redaction for compliant execution.
  • Continuous improvement. Automated and human-guided training turns production runs into training data.
  • Multi-LLM testing. Swap models at runtime and evaluate performance with built-in metrics.
  • Enterprise integrations. Supports GitHub, Slack/Teams, OpenTelemetry and can deploy to CrewAI cloud, VPC or customer infrastructure.

PIC Standard: Provenance & Intent Contracts features

  • Action Proposal schema. Agents emit a JSON contract describing intent, impact, provenance and evidence before each tool call.
  • Deterministic evidence verification. SHA-256 resolvable artifacts are validated; unverifiable evidence blocks high-impact actions.
  • Fail-closed security model. If verification fails, the action is automatically rejected to prevent unsafe operations.
  • CLI and SDK integrations. Provides a command-line tool and drop-in integrations for LangGraph and MCP servers.
  • Cryptographic signing. Supports signing of contracts and API attestations for trusted provenance.
  • Risk classification. Allows agents to label impact classes such as money, privacy, compute or irreversible actions.
