Runtime security that decides what your AI agents are allowed to do
Wrap agent tool calls and get a typed decision - allow, block, redact or hold for review - before the tool actually executes, based on actor, role, route and typed inputs.
Screen user input, fetched web pages, API responses and tool output for hostile instructions before anything reaches the model context.
Detect and strip names, addresses, national IDs, bank and card numbers before they reach model context, logs or third-party tools, with optional in-process local detection.
Bot protection, WAF rules, rate limiting, signup form protection and email validation to keep public endpoints and signup flows clean.
A general-purpose AI agent that executes tasks, not just answers them
Give the agent a goal and it plans the steps, chooses tools, and works through the task in a cloud environment without constant supervision.
Produces finished artifacts such as slide decks, functional websites, small games, and formatted documents rather than raw text.
Runs broad, multi-source investigations and compiles the findings into a structured report.
Generates images, video, and music as part of a larger task or as standalone outputs.
