HarnessOverview

Harness

Harness is Exemplar’s AI operations control plane. Ship production agents without losing control of context or policy: 50+ connectors with auto MCP tools, out-of-box agents for any framework, plus gateway, prompts, skills, memory, evals, and guardrails—one harness for the engineering ecosystem.

Product hub: exemplar.dev/harness . Pricing: exemplar.dev/pricing .

Harness pairs with Relay (Cursor and Claude coding-agent governance). Buy either alone or Full Platform for both.

Outcomes

  • Agents that know your estate — Memory and context stay live (services, owners, dependencies) so agents stop rediscovering the org on every turn.
  • Tools without hand-wiring — Connectors publish MCP tools automatically. Cursor, Claude, and custom clients share one governed surface.
  • Spend and risk under caps — Rate limits, circuit breakers, and budgets in Guardrails stop runaway loops before they hit production.
  • Any framework, same harness — LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, ADK, or custom runtimes inherit the same gateway, memory, and policy.

How it works

  1. Connect — Enable DevOps and cloud connectors into Context Lake.
  2. Compose — Register prompts, skills, memory, and out-of-box or custom agents.
  3. Govern — Route through the gateway with evals and guardrails.
  4. Operate — Observe outcomes; iterate without redeploying every agent.
