Lineage-Aware Memory Governance: A Derivation-Gated Framework for Privacy-Preserving Column-Level Access Control in Enterprise AI Agents

The paper proposes the Analytical Memory Unit (AMU), a memory schema that attaches a full derivation (lineage) graph to every cached result in enterprise AI agents. By gating retrieval with a policy that requires authorization for every column touched, the authors prove that sensitive columns cannot be leaked through derived results, achieving up to 90% lineage completeness to eliminate leakage. Experiments show lineage‑gated retrieval removes 18.8‑25.5% of cross‑department leakage while maintaining 81.5‑82.6% memory reuse with minimal overhead, and a real‑agent proof‑of‑concept demonstrates zero leaks over multiple interactions.
