Every action judged
at runtime.

Access is not the risk. The action is. Agen.co judges every agent-to-system call in-line, against the identity behind the agent, and returns a verdict in under 30ms: allow, step-up, human-in-the-loop, mask, or deny.

One real decision

Anatomy of a 22-millisecond verdict.

The same pipeline runs on every action, thousands of times a day. Here is one decision, unpacked.

The challenge

Access checks ask who. Never what.

✓?

Valid credentials, bad action

An agent with the right token passes every identity check, then does something no one intended. The action is where the risk lives.

Governance built for humans

Quarterly reviews and role-based access assume a person who logs in and goes home. Agents act thousands of times a day.

Blanket blocks kill adoption

When the only controls are allow-everything or block-everything, security becomes the reason AI projects stall.

Step-up

The owner decides in seconds. On their phone.

When an action crosses policy, the named owner gets the decision with full context: which agent, what action, why it paused. Approve and the workflow resumes. Deny and only that action dies. No ticket queue, no meeting.

Approvals, live from the product.

An autonomous agent hits a payment above policy, the owner approves from the step-up queue, the batch resumes.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does a 30ms verdict slow agents down?
No. The verdict happens in-line at machine speed. Humans are only pulled in when policy says the action needs them.
Who approves a step-up?
The named owner in the agent's authority chain. Approvals arrive as push notifications with full context.
Can we start in observe-only mode?
Yes. Many teams run discovery and observability for weeks before turning on enforcement. Policies can be enforced per agent, per system, or per action.
What gets logged?
Every action and its verdict, anchored to identity: what happened, who the agent was acting for, and why the decision was made. Evidence is generated at action time.

Govern the action, not just the access.

Per-action verdicts in under 30ms, anchored to identity.
