Why now?
Agents went from drafting text to taking real actions — calling APIs, touching production, and spending money. The layer that decides what they are allowed to do before they do it is now essential.
The control plane for agents
Agenline gives every AI agent a clear boundary. Connect, define policy, and ship with confidence.

THE WHYs
01 / 04
Agents went from drafting text to taking real actions — calling APIs, touching production, and spending money. The layer that decides what they are allowed to do before they do it is now essential.
02 / 04
Until recently, agents mostly suggested actions. Once they could act instead of suggest, the risk became real — and the tooling had not caught up.
03 / 04
Agent frameworks are built to make agents powerful. Agenline is the accountability layer above the framework, regardless of what the agent is built with.
04 / 04
The first serious incident is too late to begin defining boundaries. Agenline lets teams establish rules before an agent reaches a sensitive resource.
A simple boundary
For example
The real upstream key stays encrypted at rest. Use a test key for this walkthrough.
agen agent connect support-bot-1 --key <upstream-key>
Sign up, create a field, grant its state through a policy, then attach the policy to an agent. Inspect its effective access to understand each decision. HTTP fields are enforced through the Agenline proxy; filesystem, command-runner, and database configuration requires a trusted external runtime.
