vs Direct API Calls One integration, every model. No provider SDKs to manage, no billing to reconcile, no failover to build. Switch models with a config change.
vs Portkey & Helicone They observe. We control. Intelligent routing with Thompson sampling, per-key budgets, and circuit breakers — not just logging after the fact.
vs OpenRouter Same multi-model access, plus governance: budget enforcement, quality scoring, tenant isolation, and a full audit trail on every request.

Stop Giving Your Agents Raw API Keys

Every agent in your swarm receives a cryptographically verifiable, 5-minute ephemeral identity. If a worker goes rogue, you don't rotate a global API key — you revoke one badge.

// Agent "research-01" requests identity
SPIFFE ID: spiffe://br/agent/research-01
Certificate: RSA-2048, SHA-256
TTL: 5 minutes (auto-renews at 4m30s)

// Badge issued. Identity verified on every request.
// Rogue agent? Revoke this badge. Swarm stays safe.
(02) The Corporate Card

Stop Paying Blind AI Bills

Give your Support Agent a $50/day budget. Our intelligent routing engine autonomously selects the cheapest, fastest model to maximize that budget. When the agent hits $50, the card declines. Zero bill shock.

(03) The Job Description

Agents Only Do What They Are Hired To Do

You define exactly which internal tools an agent is allowed to use. Our Streaming Firewall intercepts every action on the hot-path, ensuring the agent never steps outside its authorized role. PII detected mid-stream? Connection severed in <1ms.

(04) The Performance Review

Algorithmic HR for Non-Human Employees

If an agent starts hallucinating or attempting lateral movement, we don't just log it. We instantly downgrade their trust score, strip their write permissions, and isolate them — automatically. Every agent gets a continuous performance review, powered by adaptive anomaly detection.

Evidence-Grade Compliance Records

Every decision, every dollar, every tool call — logged with cryptographic provenance. Cost headers on every response. SIEM export for Splunk and Elastic. When the auditor asks "what did this agent do?", you have the answer.

(01) The Corporate Card

Virtual Spending Limits for Every Agent

Like a corporate card with a daily ceiling. Set a budget. Our routing engine autonomously selects the cheapest model that meets quality requirements. When the budget runs low, we auto-downgrade. When it's gone, the card declines.

  • Per-agent budget profiles with auto-downgrade thresholds
  • Intelligent model selection maximizes quality within budget constraints
  • Full tenant isolation — budgets never cross organizational boundaries
  • Real-time cost tracking with per-request headers

(02) The Job Description

Semantic Role Enforcement

Define exactly which tools an agent can use, what data it can access, and what actions it can take. Our Streaming Firewall intercepts every action on the hot-path — ensuring the agent never steps outside its authorized role.

  • Tool-level access control — define allowed and denied actions per agent
  • Streaming output interception — PII detected mid-stream is severed before delivery
  • Real-time action validation against semantic job boundaries
  • SIEM export — every policy violation logged for compliance
  • Full audit trail — who did what, when, and why
(03) The Performance Review

Algorithmic PIPs for Misbehaving Agents

If an agent starts hallucinating, overspending, or attempting unauthorized actions, it gets placed on an automatic Performance Improvement Plan. Trust score downgraded. Write permissions stripped. Rate limits applied. All in milliseconds.

  • Continuous behavioral monitoring — detects anomalies across every dimension
  • Graduated trust degradation — not just block/allow, but nuanced responses
  • Automatic quarantine on policy violations
  • Full forensic trail for every trust decision

(04) The ID Badge

Cryptographic Credentials That Self-Destruct

Stop giving your agents shared passwords. Every agent receives a cryptographic ID badge — a verifiable, ephemeral certificate that expires in 5 minutes. Compromise one agent? Its badge self-destructs before lateral movement begins.

  • Verifiable identity for every agent in your swarm
  • 5-minute expiry — no long-lived credentials to rotate
  • One-click revocation — freeze an agent instantly
  • Behavioral profiling detects anomalous activity patterns
(05) The Corporate Card

Financial Governance for Your AI Workforce

Every agent gets a virtual corporate card with a spending limit. When the budget runs low, we auto-downgrade to cheaper models. When it's exhausted, the card declines. Agent efficiency leaderboard shows who's delivering ROI.

  • Per-agent spending limits with automatic enforcement
  • Full lifecycle management: onboard → active → quarantine → terminate
  • Agent leaderboard — rank by cost-efficiency and output quality
  • Automatic quarantine on budget overrun or policy violation

Encrypted Credential Management

Provider API keys stored with AES-256-GCM encryption. Rotate without downtime. Each key carries its own budget ceiling. Your credentials never touch disk unencrypted — and each one is scoped to a single tenant.

  • AES-256-GCM encryption at rest with tenant-specific keys
  • Per-key budget enforcement — spend limits per provider credential
  • Zero-downtime rotation — new key activates, old key drains gracefully
  • BYOK: bring your own AWS KMS, GCP, or Azure key
