Use case · Regulatory reporting

Answer the regulator with evidence attached.

Agent Serve checks report data against your rules, keeps one definition per figure, and drafts regulator answers from your policies for an owner to sign.

A regulatory reporting use case for Agent Serve, the AI workspace where teams build, deploy, and manage AI agents: the semantic model keeps one definition per figure, rules check report data before submission, and a workflow drafts answers to regulator requests from a knowledge base, checks them against sources and waits for the question owner to sign off.

At a glance

For reporting teams and the people who sign.

Who it is for

Regulatory reporting, risk and compliance teams at banks, insurers and payment firms

The problem it removes

Each return is rebuilt from spreadsheets that pull from several systems, and nobody is sure every team uses the same definition. When a regulator sends a letter with twelve questions and a deadline, someone splits it up by email, chases owners, and searches old submissions for the evidence.

What your team still controls

People decide

  • A named owner signs off every answer before it leaves the team
  • The validation rules and the definition of every reported figure
  • Which sources and past submissions the drafting workflow may search
  • Who can see and change report data, by role and by row
Day one

What you can run first

  • A request tracker table with one row per question, owner and due date
  • Policies and past submissions in a knowledge base, with cited answers
  • A workflow that drafts each answer and checks it against the sources
Later

What you add once it is trusted

  • Report entities and measures in the semantic model, checked against the data
  • Validation rules that flag rows before submission
  • A dashboard of open questions and failed checks, sent as a scheduled PDF

How it runs

From a regulator’s letter to a signed-off answer.

Each question becomes a row with an owner. Agent Serve drafts the answer and the owner decides what is sent.

  1. 1

    The questions are logged

    Each question from the letter becomes a row in the request tracker, with its owner and due date. A new row starts the workflow.

  2. 2

    The evidence is found

    The Knowledge block searches policies, procedures and past submissions for the passages that answer the question.

  3. 3

    The draft is checked

    An agent drafts the answer, and a Guardrails Hallucination Check tests it against the knowledge base before it moves on.

  4. 4

    The owner signs off

    A Human step sends the owner the draft and its sources. The owner edits, approves or sends it back.

In depth

Figures that agree, checks that run first.

Agent Serve keeps the definition of each reported figure in one place and checks the data before anyone signs.

01 · Semantic model

One definition for each figure

The Agent Serve semantic model maps each entity to a table and defines measures once, so every dashboard and metric sums the same column the same way.

  • Check relationship reports match rate and orphan keys
  • The Data model diagram shows how sources fit together
  • Each change is written to the audit log
02 · Rules

Validation before submission

Agent Serve rules flag rows that fail a check, such as a missing counterparty type or a value outside a range, and a dashboard table lists them.

  • Operators such as between, in and is empty
  • Change the rule once, every view follows
03 · Row-level security

Preview what each role sees

Agent Serve row policies decide which rows each person sees, and a dashboard can be previewed as another role before it is shared.

04 · Audit

A record for the file

The Agent Serve Activity audit lists workspace activity and exports it as CSV, and every workflow run keeps a block-by-block trace.

Before and after

Fewer spreadsheets, clearer ownership.

What does the work

The parts of Agent Serve behind each return.

  1. 01Semantic model

    Define the figures

    Entities, relationships and measures describe report data once.

  2. 02Rules

    Validate the data

    Rules flag rows that fail a check before the return is signed.

  3. 03Knowledge bases

    Hold the evidence

    Policies, procedures and past submissions sit in searchable knowledge bases.

  4. 04Workflows

    Draft and check

    A workflow drafts each answer, checks it against sources and waits for the owner.

  5. 05Dashboards & BI

    Show what is open

    A dashboard lists open questions and failed checks by owner.

Examples

Reporting work in banks and insurers.

Three reporting jobs financial services teams run on Agent Serve, each ending with a named person’s sign-off.

Banking · Prudential reporting

Pre-submission checks

Agent Serve rules flag rows that fail validation, and the reporting lead reviews the list on a dashboard before sign-off.

  1. Data synced
  2. Rules run
  3. Failures listed
  4. Lead signs off
Insurance · Supervisory requests

Regulator information requests

Each question becomes a row in an Agent Serve table, a workflow drafts the answer from the knowledge base, and the owner signs off.

  1. Letter logged
  2. Answers drafted
  3. Sources checked
  4. Owner approves
Risk · Data lineage

Showing where a figure comes from

The Agent Serve Data model diagram shows the tables and joins behind a reported measure, for a reviewer to follow.

  1. Measure chosen
  2. Joins shown
  3. Keys checked
  4. Reviewer notes

Governance

Every answer has an owner and a source.

Agent Serve keeps sign-off with named people, limits who sees report data and records what changed.

Security and governance
  • Answers checked against sources

    The Agent Serve Hallucination Check tests a drafted answer against the knowledge base and flags claims the sources do not support.

  • Model changes on the record

    Saving the Agent Serve semantic model needs write access, and each update is written to the workspace audit log.

  • Row-level access

    Row-level policies narrow what each person sees in tables, dashboards, exports and scheduled reports.

  • Deployed versions

    Workflows run from a deployed version, so a change is reviewed before it reaches production runs.

  • Audit trail

    Proposals, approvals, declines and executed actions are written to the workspace audit log, which admins can export.

  • Roles and permission groups

    Admin, write and read roles per workspace, plus permission groups that limit which models, blocks and integrations a team can use.

  • SSO and SCIM

    Sign in through your identity provider with SAML 2.0 or OIDC, and provision people with SCIM.

  • Self-hosting

    Run Agent Serve in your own cloud or data centre, next to the systems it reads.

  • Zero data retention

    Zero data retention with supported model providers, backed by your own provider keys and agreements or self-hosted models. Some provider features keep data by design, such as Gemini Deep Research, so they are outside zero data retention.

  • Run logs

    Every workflow run records each block’s inputs, outputs and errors, so a reviewer can trace how a result was reached.

Questions

About regulatory reporting

Does Agent Serve submit returns to the regulator?

No. Agent Serve checks data, drafts answers and tracks questions. Your team signs off and submits through its usual channel.

How does Agent Serve keep figures consistent?

The Agent Serve semantic model defines each measure once over workspace tables, and dashboards, metrics and monitors all read that definition.

Where does report data come from?

Agent Serve data sources sync data from your systems into workspace tables, and workflows can also read databases such as PostgreSQL or Snowflake directly.

Can a drafted answer make things up?

The Agent Serve Hallucination Check tests each draft against the knowledge base before it moves on, and a named owner reviews every answer.

What can we run first?

A team can start with an Agent Serve request tracker, a knowledge base of policies and submissions, and the drafting workflow, then add the semantic model and validation rules.
