Reduce unauthorized or unreviewed agent actions while keeping a complete record of what each agent touched.
- Evaluate each agent action against rules and return allow or deny before it runs.
- Record every agent action with what was touched and whether it was allowed or blocked.
- Route actions that need a person's decision to a human for approval before continuing.
- Apply the same controls across multiple agents or frameworks without rebuilding for each.
- Connect and configure agent controls without writing code.
- Store and inject credentials securely so agents access tools without seeing secrets.
- Create and maintain connectors to external tools from API docs, links or descriptions.
- Test rules in a sandbox that logs decisions without blocking before enforcing them.
- Send alerts when unauthorized or policy-violating access attempts happen.
- Give each agent its own key with limited access that can be revoked immediately.
- Block or rewrite risky actions like destructive commands or credential exfiltration based on configurable rules.
- Provide a searchable catalog of API specs to find the right operation without custom wrappers.

AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge
Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate outputs for the stated task modules. Use deterministic code for arithmetic, schema validation, hard constraints and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. One fixed agent framework and connector set; final authorization and incident decisions remain with the security operator. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.
What your team sees
Primary screens: Agent and connector registry, Policy and approval console, Action audit and incident view. Use a list of connected agents and tools, a central rule and approval workspace, and a right-hand panel for decision evidence and comments. Let users compare policy versions side by side. Display allowed, denied, pending approval and killed states. Provide a searchable audit view with each decision anchored to the action it governed. Make the task-specific outcome operator-approved decision record linked to each executed action visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.
Accounts and administration
Organization ownership, agent and connector versions, operator comments, approval states, usage allowances, revocation limits, download history and a rights record for supplied material. Add organization access boundaries, named reviewers, usage caps, data retention controls, export logs and explicit approval for external actions.
Integrations and data access
Customer-owned agent frameworks, identity providers and permitted internal tools. Cloud or self-hosted deployment, API catalog import/export and alerting destinations. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct enforcement. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.
How we build it
We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

Why we start with an MVP
An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.
- Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will platform, security and IT operations teams running AI agents that connect to internal apps, tools and data use it to solve "agents act across connected systems without a single place to authorize each action, review what happened or stop a bad run"?
- Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
- Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Blocked unauthorized actions per review hour and unapproved side effects after enforcement.
- Measure, then decide. Track blocked unauthorized actions per review hour and unapproved side effects after enforcement; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.
MVP scope for this solution. Pilot scope: One fixed agent framework and connector set; final authorization and incident decisions remain with the security operator. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: evaluate each agent action against rules and return allow or deny before it runs; record every agent action with what was touched and whether it was allowed or blocked. Support the third module with operator review: route actions that need a person's decision to a human for approval before continuing. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.
After the MVP. Once paid pilots prove usefulness, automate repeatable reviewed steps and add one verified source integration. Expand supported inputs and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around operator-approved decision record linked to each executed action. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One fixed agent framework and connector set; final authorization and incident decisions remain with the security operator.
What the build depends on. Agent and connector registry, asynchronous evaluation jobs, editable policy history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity enforcement requires specialist security QA. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One fixed agent framework and connector set; final authorization and incident decisions remain with the security operator.

Selling it to your own clients: the go-to-market playbook
Pricing to test
Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined agent and connector package. Offer a monthly operations allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex multi-agent or self-hosted deployments separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded operator-approved decision record linked to each executed action. Recurring fees must specify volume, review depth and integration support. For exchanges, test a disclosed coordination or successful-service fee rather than holding customer funds. Reprice only after measuring real delivery labor; platform-build cost is separate from a commercial pilot fee.
Message to test
Reduce unauthorized or unreviewed agent actions while keeping a complete record of what each agent touched. Demonstrate a concrete operator-approved decision record linked to each executed action using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.
Where to find buyers
Platform, security and IT operations teams running AI agents professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant trade or practitioner events.
Lead magnet
A reviewed sample operator-approved decision record linked to each executed action from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of blocked unauthorized actions per review hour and unapproved side effects after enforcement and no promised savings.
The first 30 days
- Week 1: interview five platform, security and IT operations teams running AI agents that connect to internal apps, tools and data and inspect a recent example of agents acting across connected systems without a single place to authorize each action, review what happened or stop a bad run.
- Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the three task modules.
- Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
- Week 4: measure blocked unauthorized actions per review hour and unapproved side effects after enforcement, reviewer effort and repeat-purchase interest. This is a demand-validation plan, not a thirty-day full-product delivery promise.
Paid pilot
Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Blocked unauthorized actions per review hour and unapproved side effects after enforcement. Continue only if the buyer accepts the actual output, the intended job outcome improves without unacceptable errors, and measured delivery cost fits willingness to pay. Revise or stop if access is unavailable, qualified review cannot be provided, or apparent savings disappear after corrections and support. Use held-out cases when comparing model quality; use a properly reviewed comparison design before making causal claims. Record missing cases and negative results alongside successful outputs.
Success metrics
Blocked unauthorized actions per review hour and unapproved side effects after enforcement; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.
Retention and expansion
Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs operator-approved decision record linked to each executed action. Retain permissioned settings and reviewed examples, report realized value honestly, and sell increased volume or adjacent approved workflows only after contribution margin and quality remain acceptable.
Why clients would pick it
A reusable library of approved policies, connector mappings and review examples, together with reliable delivery for a narrow operational niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for platform, security and IT operations teams running AI agents that connect to internal apps, tools and data. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.
Alternatives and positioning
Venn.ai, Kastra, Portia AI, Merge Agent Handler, Mighty, Jentic Mini, Permit AI Access Control, CtrlAI, Multi-Agent Builder and Graft AI, plus manual scripts and internal tools. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on blocked unauthorized actions per review hour and unapproved side effects after enforcement. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.
Main delivery costs
Model calls, connector maintenance, storage, reviewer hours, client revision rounds and licensed source assets. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of operator-approved decision record linked to each executed action. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.
Safeguards
Preserve least privilege, source attribution, action accuracy and usage permissions. Security operators approve substantive changes and enforcement scope. One fixed agent framework and connector set; final authorization and incident decisions remain with the security operator. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
