Agents that work inside your controls
Your own tenant
Each customer runs in its own tenant, in the region you choose, encrypted in transit and at rest.
Approval before action
You set the thresholds. Above them an agent stops and a named person signs.
Every action on the record
Each step is logged with its actor, reason and time, before anything reaches a supplier.
Only the tools you grant
An agent that reads spend cannot write to your ERP unless you switch that tool on.
