Runtime Authority for Autonomous AI Agents

Let AI agents act.
Keep authority under control.

Authesta gives autonomous AI agents bounded, verifiable authority — so organizations can safely automate consequential actions without putting humans in every loop.

Cloud or Private Gateway. Your policies. Your boundaries.

AI agents can act. But who decides what they are allowed to do?

As agents move from answering questions to modifying systems, issuing refunds, merging code, sending messages, and making purchases, identity alone is not enough. Organizations need to control business authority at runtime.

Identity is not authority

Knowing which agent is calling does not tell you whether it should be allowed to perform this specific business action.

Static permissions are too broad

Agents often receive access to an API or tool that can perform many more actions than the agent should actually execute.

Audit after the fact is too late

For consequential actions, organizations need enforcement before execution and evidence after execution.

From intent to evidence.

1

Intent

Agent requests an action.

2

Identity

Authesta verifies the agent.

3

Authority

Delegated authority and limits are resolved.

4

Enforcement

Action is automatically authorized, escalated, or denied.

5

Execution

Authorized action executes against the real system.

6

Evidence

Authesta verifies execution and preserves evidence.

Maximum safe autonomy. Minimum human intervention.

Auto

Inside delegated authority.

Authorize

Outside autonomous authority but within delegable bounds.

Human authorization required

Deny

Outside maximum authority or prohibited.

Denied

Humans do not approve every agent action. They define authority once and intervene only for exceptions.

Private Gateway

Keep runtime enforcement inside your environment.

  • Customer-hosted gateway
  • Local integration credentials
  • Private system access
  • Signed policy synchronization
  • Central cloud management
Explore Private Gateway

Full self-hosted enterprise deployment — planned for regulated and isolated environments.

Built like security infrastructure, not an AI assistant.

Deterministic policy decisions

No Large Language Model decides whether an action is authorized.

Bounded authorization grants

Every authorization can be limited by resource, amount, target, duration, and usage.

Fail closed

If authority cannot be verified, consequential actions do not execute.

Tamper-evident evidence

Authorization, execution, and verification are linked through integrity fingerprints.

Vendor-neutral

Works across different agent frameworks, models, and enterprise systems.

One control plane. Enforcement where you need it.

Hybrid customers keep the enforcement point — and their integration credentials — close to private systems. Only signed policy and evidence metadata cross the boundary.

Do not just log what happened. Prove what was authorized.
