This page describes AAES Govern’s controls. AAES Operate has private-work permissions, operational reviews and recorded-spend limits; it does not include Govern. About AAES Govern
Before you enable this package
The endpoint host 'artifactory-server.invalid' is a reserved .invalid placeholder that fails closed until you substitute the real host in both the endpoint URLs and the egress allowlist.
Read each action's effects and exclusions below. Before installation, also read the complete package requirements, including credential issuance, scope, expiry, and provider permissions. These are deployment prerequisites, not capabilities this package supplies.
Capabilities (7)
Each capability below is one registered operation. The complete package JSON includes its exact network destination allowlist. The repository stores it at packs/artifactory.json and embeds a copy in the release binary.
Risk tiers. R0 is the minimum for reads. R2 is the minimum for write, create, update, execute, and invoke. R3 is the minimum for delete, send, pay, deploy, approve, share, and transfer. Operators can raise these levels. A minimum tier does not measure the operation's business or confidentiality risk.
On supported execution paths routed through AAES Govern, the R3 actions listed below require approval by an authorized person. Bypass paths and observation-only registrations are outside that guarantee. A provider's restoration feature does not remove this approval requirement. A provider-side approval, such as approving a GitLab merge request, is also separate from AAES Govern human approval. The capability matrix shows which execution paths are implemented, restricted to lab use, or refused at startup. Live compatibility must be tested in your environment.
Field guide. Endpoint is the service address and request method. Connector is the adapter that makes the call. Custody describes how the credential is held; the credential reference identifies the value to resolve. Data class sets handling requirements: pii means personal data, financial means financial records, and internal means internal organizational data.

Read repositories.
List the repositories on the deployment: keys, types and package types — a collection read that reveals the organization's artifact landscape at the internal class.
The host is a reserved placeholder: substitute the customer's JFrog host before enabling.
artifactory.storage.item.read v1.0.0R0

secret-ref-artifactory-access-token- Data class
- internal
Read storage item.
Read storage information (metadata, checksums, timestamps, URIs) for one item or folder via the Get Storage Item Information operation; this reads metadata, not the artifact binary — artifact download itself is not registered by this pack. REPO_KEY and FILE_PATH are placeholders to bind before enabling; the host is a reserved placeholder to substitute.
artifactory.search.aql v1.0.0R0
- Kind
- tool
- Action
- read
- Endpoint
POST https://artifactory-server.invalid/artifactory/api/search/aql- Connector
- http
- Custody
- customer_vault
- Credential ref
secret-ref-artifactory-access-token- Data class
- internal
Search artifacts with AQL.
Run an Artifactory Query Language search. This is a POST-with-query-body endpoint used read-only: the request body is a raw AQL statement (Content-Type text/plain, for example items.find({...})) and the operation performs no mutation, so it registers as read at the minimum R0 tier.
Request limits: the statement is unrestricted AQL — this registration cannot limit which items, properties or builds a caller enumerates beyond what the token's user may read.
The host is a reserved placeholder: substitute before enabling.
artifactory.artifact.deploy v1.0.0R2
- Kind
- tool
- Actions
- create, update
- Endpoint
PUT https://artifactory-server.invalid/artifactory/REPO_KEY/FILE_PATH- Connector
- http
- Custody
- customer_vault
- Credential ref
secret-ref-artifactory-access-token- Data class
- internal
Deploy artifact.
Deploy an artifact (or create a directory) to a repository path — the documented Deploy Artifact operation. Registered as create and update at the minimum R2 tier: uploading to a path that does not exist creates the artifact, and where the repository layout permits overwriting an existing path, a deploy replaces the stored binary — the previous bytes are not recoverable from Artifactory afterward, so this is not a create-only registration.
This registration does not restrict the uploaded bytes; deployments that require immutability should enforce it in repository configuration, which this pack does not register. Requires deploy permission on the target repository. REPO_KEY and FILE_PATH are placeholders to bind before enabling.
artifactory.item.delete v1.0.0R3
- Kind
- tool
- Action
- delete
- Endpoint
DELETE https://artifactory-server.invalid/artifactory/REPO_KEY/FILE_PATH- Connector
- http
- Custody
- customer_vault
- Credential ref
secret-ref-artifactory-access-token- Data class
- internal
Delete item.
Delete a file or folder from a local repository or remote repository cache — the documented Delete Item operation, which JFrog's documentation states requires delete permission and returns 405 for repository types that do not support deletion. Registered as delete at the minimum R3 tier: delete is one of the designated actions requiring human approval.
On supported execution paths mediated by AAES Govern, irreversible actions require approval by an authorized person; this does not prevent calls through bypass or observation-only paths. Where the deployment has the trash can enabled, the deleted item may be recoverable from trash; this registration makes no restoration claim, and permanently purging trash (POST /api/trash/empty) is deliberately not registered. REPO_KEY and FILE_PATH are placeholders to bind before enabling.
artifactory.repository.create v1.0.0R2
- Kind
- tool
- Action
- create
- Endpoint
PUT https://artifactory-server.invalid/artifactory/api/repositories/REPO_KEY- Connector
- http
- Custody
- customer_vault
- Credential ref
secret-ref-artifactory-admin-token- Data class
- internal
Create repository.
Create a repository — the documented Create Repository operation, which takes the repository configuration JSON in the request body. Registered as create at the minimum R2 tier; a created repository can be removed by the registered delete capability.
Request limits: the configuration body is unrestricted by this registration — repository type, layout, remote URL and other settings are the caller's input and the deployment's review; in particular a configured REMOTE repository URL causes ARTIFACTORY-SIDE outbound access to that destination when artifacts are resolved, which AAES's egress allowlist on this capability does not constrain. This capability uses a separate admin credential reference (secret-ref-artifactory-admin-token) — see the pack credential note. REPO_KEY is a placeholder to bind before enabling.
artifactory.repository.delete v1.0.0R3
- Kind
- tool
- Action
- delete
- Endpoint
DELETE https://artifactory-server.invalid/artifactory/api/repositories/REPO_KEY- Connector
- http
- Custody
- customer_vault
- Credential ref
secret-ref-artifactory-admin-token- Data class
- internal
Delete repository.
Delete a repository — the documented Delete Repository operation. This removes the repository and every artifact stored in it: a broad-impact delete registered at the minimum R3 tier. Artifactory's trash can retains deleted items, not a deleted repository's configuration, so this registration makes no restoration claim. This capability uses a separate admin credential reference (secret-ref-artifactory-admin-token) — see the pack credential note. REPO_KEY is a placeholder to bind before enabling.
On supported execution paths mediated by AAES Govern, the declared irreversible actions require an authorized person’s approval. Observation-only and bypass calls cannot be stopped by this control.
Credential reference
The credential field names a reference rather than containing credential material. Packs are designed not to contain secrets; the format checks cover only known credential formats and cannot prove that arbitrary text contains no secrets. Installing a package registers its capabilities. Configure the provider credentials, endpoints, and network access, then test the integration in your environment before enabling it.
- Reference
secret-ref-artifactory-access-token- Custody
- customer_vault
- Injection
- header (Authorization)
Configure the value and injection format specified in the package. Assign responsibility for credential rotation and revocation, restrict provider permissions, and keep credential material out of logs and responses.
Complete credential requirements
A JFrog Platform access token, held in the client's own secret manager. Token issuance is external: an administrator creates a scoped token in the JFrog Platform UI (User Management | Access Tokens) or via the Create Token REST API, and the deployment's custody job stores the result under this reference. The stored material must be the complete Authorization header value (scheme included): 'Bearer ' followed by the access token — JFrog documents using an access token as a bearer token in the Authorization header. JFrog also accepts a reference token as the password half of HTTP Basic authentication; this pack registers the Bearer header form only.
Expiry and revocation behavior: tokens are created with an expiry (default one hour; zero means non-expiring and valid until actively revoked), and JFrog's revocable-expiry-threshold (default six hours) means a token created with a shorter lifetime cannot be revoked — it remains valid until it expires naturally. Disabling token issuance, or removing the creating admin, does not invalidate already-issued tokens; only an explicit revoke of a revocable token, or resetting the token certificates (which revokes all tokens), terminates one.
Prefer the shortest expiry that covers the deployment's renewal cadence, or a refreshable token renewed by the custody job; an expired value fails closed.
Least privilege: create the token with group scopes granting only the permissions the enabled capabilities need (read on the bound repositories; deploy/delete only where the write capabilities are enabled) — never an admin-scoped token for the read, AQL, deploy and item-delete capabilities. The repository create and delete capabilities are different: JFrog documents repository administration as requiring an administrator, so this pack registers those two capabilities against a SEPARATE reference (secret-ref-artifactory-admin-token) holding an admin-permission credential — a deployment that cannot justify an admin credential must remove those two capabilities rather than widen the main token.
Note also that delete operations require the user or group to hold delete permission per JFrog's documentation.
Executor hygiene: the value must live only in executor memory for the lifetime of a call, must never be written to logs, traces or diagnostics, and must not appear in crash dumps; a deployment that cannot meet that bar must not enable the pack.

Technical package and review record
Complete provider requirements and exclusions
The endpoint host 'artifactory-server.invalid' is a reserved non-production placeholder (an RFC 2606 reserved TLD): substitute the customer's own JFrog Platform Deployment host before enabling, in every endpoint, in the resource locator and in every egress allowlist entry. The allowlist matches exactly, so endpoints and allowlist must be substituted together, and substitution is a required deployment step. REPO_KEY and FILE_PATH in the endpoint paths are placeholders: bind them to the repository key and the item path this capability governs before enabling.
This pack registers only Artifactory's documented REST API: listing repositories, storage item info, AQL search, artifact deploy, item delete, repository create and repository delete.
Approval classification: reads and the read-only AQL query sit at the minimum R0 tier. Artifact deploy (PUT on the item path) is registered as create and update at the minimum R2 tier: uploading an artifact adds a new binary and, with Artifactory's default non-unique snapshot layouts or release paths, does not destroy other artifacts — but where a repository layout permits overwriting an existing path, a deploy replaces the stored binary, so the update action is declared, and this registration cannot restrict the bytes a caller uploads.
Repository create is R2 create; its request body is the full repository configuration, which this registration does not constrain. Item delete and repository delete sit at the minimum R3 tier: delete is one of the designated actions requiring human approval. Repository delete removes the repository and every artifact in it — Artifactory's trash can (when enabled) retains deleted ITEMS but not a deleted repository's configuration — and this registration makes no restoration claim.
Search scope: AQL is a POST carrying a query body (a raw AQL statement, Content-Type text/plain) used read-only — it performs no mutation, so it is registered as a read at the minimum R0 tier with the body shape noted here; the statement itself is unrestricted AQL and can enumerate anything the token's user may read.
Documented exclusions: this pack does not register permission-target management (PUT/DELETE /api/security/permissions/...), user or group management, the Access token REST API (token issuance is an external custody process — see the credential note), Empty Trash Can (POST /api/trash/empty — a permanent purge of soft-deleted items, distinct from item delete and deliberately left out), replication configuration, system import/export, and all Xray and Distribution APIs. Source basis: the individual JFrog operation pages were retrieved from JFrog's docs.jfrog.com markdown/OpenAPI mirror (the llms.txt operation index plus the per-operation.md pages for Get Repositories by Type and Project, Get Storage Item Information, Search AQL, Deploy Artifact, Create Repository, Delete Repository and Empty Trash Can, all listed in the review sources).
Every registered method and path was confirmed against JFrog's OpenAPI definitions on those pages: GET /artifactory/api/repositories, GET /artifactory/api/storage/{repoKey}/{itemPath}, POST /artifactory/api/search/aql (text/plain AQL body), PUT /artifactory/{repoKey}/{filePath}, DELETE /artifactory/{repoKey}/{filePath}, PUT and DELETE /artifactory/api/repositories/{repoKey}, and the excluded POST /artifactory/api/trash/empty (admin only). Confirm each path and request contract against the target deployment's own API documentation before enabling — documentation review is complete; target-deployment confirmation remains required before use.

Review block
This section reproduces the review block recorded in the pack file. The evidence and approval record is separate: for a reviewed pack, it is in the evaluation materials and in the release binary's embedded assets.
