Before, during, and after execution
Every agent action is authorized, contained, and checked.
Before execution, Record establishes who the agent acts for and what it may do. During it, policy holds at every tool call and inside the runtime. After it, detectors check the outcome, and anything that went wrong becomes an owned issue and a test for the next release.
Move a claim from review to payment without losing control.
Allowed work runs. Anything else is stopped and opened as an owned issue.
The agent works. The operating model around it does not.
Enterprises do not need another pilot. They need an operating model that can give agents real authority without giving up ownership, runtime control, or proof.
No identity means no safe production access.
Shared service accounts and borrowed user tokens cannot separate the agent, its sponsor, and the authority granted for one task.
Identity & accountabilityWhen an agent fails, there is no one to page.
Approvals, exceptions, incidents, and remediation cannot reliably return to an accountable business and technical owner.
Identity & accountabilityEvery permanent credential turns automation into permanent exposure.
Long-lived tokens and inherited employee permissions give an agent more authority and more time than the work requires.
Authority & policyA prompt cannot approve a payment or enforce separation of duties.
Natural language intent cannot serve as a durable boundary for data, approvals, delegated authority, or consequential actions.
Authority & policyThe most consequential actions happen beneath the gateway.
An agent can spawn processes, read files, invoke syscalls, and open network connections without producing a registered tool call.
Runtime & operationsFrontier prices on routine work break the business case at scale.
Routine calls run on frontier models at frontier rates, budgets are checked after the invoice, and repeat work never moves to a cheaper model that meets the same bar.
Runtime & operationsWithout an operating layer, your most valuable workflows stay manual.
The agent may be capable. The business still cannot authorize, control, or own the outcome.
IT service management, for agents.
Follow one agent through a month-end close. Each step is a discipline your IT team already runs, rebuilt so every agent action carries identity, ownership, task-scoped authority, policy, approvals, spend, incidents, and evidence, and every close sets up a better next one.

Describe the outcome. Record builds the agent.
The job, its base, tools, and policy become one managed agent, registered with an accountable owner before it ever runs.

It needs to post to your accounting system.
Record issues access for exactly that task, uses it on the agent’s behalf, and lets it expire. The agent never holds the credential.

It doesn’t start from scratch.
It works from last quarter’s close, the chart of accounts, and past exceptions, each with its source, and only what Priya is allowed to see.

It’s about to post a $1.2M journal entry.
It pauses for the controller in Slack, Teams, or the console, and continues only after a decision, recorded with the policy that required it.

A poisoned invoice tells it to export the customer table.
Blocked inside Record Runtime. Files, processes, and network are checked against policy outside the agent, so the block holds even if the agent goes around the gateway.

The close makes 4,000 model calls.
Routine calls go to fast models and hard ones to frontier models, the budget is checked before every call, and every dollar is attributed to the agent, team, and person.

Mid-close, payment posting starts failing.
Record groups the failures into one incident with an owner, alerts the team in Slack, and suggests a likely cause, before anyone files a ticket.

The auditor asks what it touched, and who approved it.
One receipt connects the person behind the agent, its identity, the policy, the access used, the approval, the cost, and the outcome.

Built for high-consequence work
Run any agent with control that follows every action.
Bring any harness or use Record Runtime for critical work. Record connects agents to enterprise tools, routes each call through its smart model gateway, enforces policy and runtime boundaries, and ties every action and dollar to an owner and outcome. What works becomes a private model you can put to work across your agents.

See how Record grants the authority an agent needs, enforces every action, and gives your team a complete record of what happened.
