Prevent Unsafe Agent Actions Before They Run
Set boundaries on what agents can do, even when workflows get complex.
Agent Autonomy Expands the Blast Radius
When agents invoke tools across systems, a single run can trigger irreversible actions before any human notices.
Over-Permissioned Tools
Agents inherit broad access, so “helpful” tool use is hard to distinguish from unsafe actions.
High-Risk Actions Happen Fast
Deletes, exports, payments, and external POSTs can execute in seconds, before review is possible.
Tool Calls Carry Sensitive Data
Tool inputs and outputs can route sensitive data through connectors, RAG, and MCP servers.
Hard to Reconstruct What Happened
Agent workflows span multiple tools and steps, making incident review slow and uncertain.
A Policy Gate for Tool Calls
Tool calls are checked against allowed tools and scope, then recorded for audit and investigation.

Enforce Policy on Every Tool Call
Evaluate every tool call in context, then allow, block, or route for approval with a complete action trail.
Scoped Tool Access
Allow or deny tools by role, environment, app, and agent so broad credentials don’t become broad autonomy.
Parameter Constraints
Constrain risky parameters like destinations, objects, amounts, and query scope so tool calls stay within policy.
Approval Checkpoints
Require human review for exports, deletions, payments, or external POSTs when policy demands a pause.
Action Trail for Investigations
Capture the steps, tool calls, and decisions so teams can quickly reconstruct what happened and why it was allowed.
Put Guardrails on Agent Actions
Practical controls for the moments that turn agent behavior into operational risk.
Tool Permissions
Restrict tools by role and environment so production agents can’t access dev-only or high-risk connectors.
Action Approvals
Require review for exports, deletions, payments, or external sharing before execution.
MCP Server Governance
Constrain what tool servers can receive and return so sensitive fields don’t flow out through tool calls.
Agent Chains
Keep multi-step agent workflows within limits by enforcing consistent tool and action policy across the chain.
Tool Calls are Where Agent Risk Becomes Real
Most agent failures look “authorized” in isolation. ThirdLaw governs tool execution so risk is controlled at the moment of impact.
Scoped Permissions by Context
Allow the same tool in one route or role and require approval in another.
High-Risk Action Gating
Configure allow, block, reroute, or approval requirements for irreversible actions.
A Record of Every Decision
Keep allow, block, and approval decisions on the tool call so investigations don’t require log correlation.
