Control AI agent actions before execution.

Oktsec is the enforcement layer for agent actions. It verifies identity, evaluates tool calls and outbound requests before execution, and retains evidence of every decision so teams can expand automation without granting unreviewed authority.

Industry workflowExample boundary

Software & SaaS

Coding, release and support agents operate repositories, CI/CD, packages and administrative APIs.

Agent work to govern
  • Coding agents read repositories and propose or write changes.
  • Release agents install packages, trigger CI/CD and change environments.
  • Support agents call administrative tools and customer-facing APIs.
Where Oktsec sits

Repositories, MCP servers, package registries, CI/CD, cloud workflows and internal APIs.

Policy examples
  • Repository and path constraints
  • Tool and parameter policy
  • Package and egress restrictions
For actions routed through Oktsec, the audit record includes agent identity, policy version, requested action, decision and review state.

Examples assume the workflow is routed through a supported gateway, proxy, hook or authenticated API. They do not imply a packaged integration, regulatory certification or autonomous authority in safety-critical decisions.

Assess the agent's authority.

Select the access and actions involved. Oktsec is relevant when that workflow can be routed through an enforceable integration point.

Where agent access creates risk.

These patterns combine useful automation with credentials, system access or delegated authority. They are candidates for policy enforcement when the action path can be instrumented.

01

Build and ship

Code, packages, repositories, CI/CD and infrastructure changes.

02

Operate customer systems

Support, account administration, refunds, bookings and case updates.

03

Handle sensitive records

Customer, employee, financial, health, legal or regulated information.

04

Call external services

Third-party APIs, MCP servers, web access and credentialed tools.

05

Coordinate agents

Delegated work across agents, roles, environments and approval boundaries.

06

Record decisions

Identity, policy, requested action, time and result in one audit record.

What Oktsec controls—and where it integrates.

Oktsec governs actions routed through an instrumented integration point and works alongside the identity, endpoint, network, monitoring and assurance systems your organization already operates.

Start with one agent workflow.

We define the agent identity, connected systems, permitted actions, review gates and evidence requirements. The outcome is a bounded integration plan with measurable acceptance criteria.
