Best open-source policy engines and authorization libraries (2026)

These tools define and enforce rules about who can do what, from application-level ACL, RBAC and ABAC checks to blocking tool calls made by AI agents. When choosing one, check which language the rules are written in, whether it embeds in your services or cluster, and whether it works at the application layer or the agent layer. Casbin is a Go access control library configured with model and policy files. OPA is a general-purpose engine that uses Rego and runs well with Kubernetes. Aegis is a runtime firewall for AI agents that adds approvals and a tamper-evident audit trail.
