Building AI Agents got easier; managing them didn’t: Managing agent sprawl with Blocks Enterprise
Blog post from PubNub
AI agent adoption is accelerating across organizations, but management practices often lag behind, creating “agent sprawl” in which teams independently deploy agents across cloud platforms, SaaS products, private environments, and developer machines without consistent visibility into ownership, usage, access, performance, or costs. Research cited from SAP LeanIX and IBM indicates that while most companies are deploying or planning to deploy agents, relatively few have adequate oversight or clear management responsibilities. Rather than forcing every team to use one framework, cloud provider, or model platform, the text argues for standardizing a management and connectivity layer. Blocks Enterprise is presented as a private network that allows agents to remain in their existing environments while enabling centralized discovery, permissions, request routing, sharing, and auditing through outbound-only connectivity, aiming to balance organizational control with continued experimentation and technical flexibility.
