ACT: Agent Capability Tokens
OAuth for AI Agents — Fine-grained permissions, runtime enforcement, complete audit logs. The security layer that prevents unauthorized AI actions before they happen.
Trusted by developers building production AI agents
What is ACT?
ACT (Agent Capability Tokens) is the authorization and security layer for AI agents and LLMs. Just like OAuth protects user data, ACT protects against unauthorized AI agent actions.
Every AI agent gets a capability token that defines exactly what it can and cannot do. No more hoping your AI agent stays within bounds — ACT enforces permissions in real time, logs every action, and lets you revoke access instantly.
OAuth protects users
Controls what apps can do with user data
ACT protects from agents
Controls what AI agents can do with your systems
Complete AI Agent Security
Fine-Grained Permissions
Control exactly what each AI agent can do with capability-based access control.
Complete Audit Trails
Track every action your AI agents take with immutable, compliant logs.
Instant Revocation
Revoke AI agent access globally in real-time with zero latency.
Framework Agnostic
Works with any LLM, AI framework, or backend system seamlessly.
Built on Security-First Principles
Permissioned by Default
No AI agent operates without explicit security grants. Zero-trust model for agent authorization.
Observable by Design
Every action is logged with full context for compliance, debugging, and security analysis.
Revocable in Real Time
Instantly withdraw agent permissions when needed, with no propagation delays.

🚨 Real Examples: What ACT Prevents
Without proper authorization, AI agents can take dangerous actions. Here's what ACT stops:
Email to External Domain — BLOCKED
Agent tried to send email to [email protected]
SQL Query Exceeding Row Limit — BLOCKED
Agent attempted SELECT * FROM users (1M+ rows)
Filesystem Access — BLOCKED
Agent tried to execute code with fs.readFileSync()
DELETE Request — BLOCKED
Agent hallucinated and tried DELETE /api/customers/all
Read Customer Data — ALLOWED
Agent requested GET /api/customers/12345
Create Support Ticket — ALLOWED
Agent created POST /api/tickets

Why AI Agent Security Matters
As LLMs and autonomous agents take real-world actions, you need a robust control plane that keeps AI capability aligned with your security policies and compliance requirements.
- Reduce AI agent security risk without slowing down automation
- Unify authorization across multiple AI agents and LLM providers
- Enforce governance and compliance without custom integrations
- Meet regulatory requirements with immutable audit logs
- Maintain control over autonomous AI in production environments
