2. Signal Types

UOP collects three signal types, each corresponding to a protocol layer in the system.

2.1 AIGP Traffic (AI Usage Signals)

AIGP signals capture every AI governance interaction requests, decisions, and usage records.

Signal Source Description
AIGP_REGISTER All amigos governance-server Heartbeat registration
AIGP_REQUEST All amigos governance-server Pre-invocation policy check
AIGP_DECISION governance-server requester ALLOW / ALLOW_WITH_CONSTRAINTS / DENY
AIGP_RECORD All amigos governance-server Post-invocation usage record

Metrics derived:

  • Request volume (per-app, per-model, per-use-case)
  • Decision distribution (ALLOW vs DENY vs ALLOW_WITH_CONSTRAINTS)
  • Token consumption (input, output, total)
  • Invocation latency (duration_ms from RECORD)
  • Error rate (status != SUCCESS in RECORD)

2.2 ACP Traffic (Context Flow Signals)

ACP signals capture every context assembly and delivery operation.

Signal Source Description
ACP_FETCH Assembler Provider Context fetch request
ACP_DELIVER Assembler Receiver Assembled context delivery
ACP_SCHEMA_FAIL Assembler Schema validation failure

Metrics derived:

  • Fetch volume (per-provider, per-context-type)
  • Fetch latency (time to assemble full context)
  • Schema validation failure rate
  • Context payload size (bytes)
  • Cache hit rate (TTL-based)

2.3 ALP Traffic (Artifact Lifecycle Signals)

ALP signals capture the lifecycle of manufactured artifacts scripts, configs, policies.

Signal Source Description
ALP_CREATE runbook-service Artifact generated
ALP_VALIDATE runbook-service Artifact validation result
ALP_APPROVE governance-server / User Artifact approved for execution
ALP_EXECUTE runbook-service Artifact executed
ALP_FAIL runbook-service Artifact execution failure

Metrics derived:

  • Artifacts created per period
  • Approval rate and approval latency
  • Execution success/failure rate
  • Time from creation to execution (lifecycle duration)
