Do you know what they're doing with them?\n\nEnterprises are deploying autonomous AI agents at scale — but the security infrastructure hasn't kept up. Every agent is a potential attack surface.\n\n### OAuth can't detect scope creep\n\nTraditional identity systems grant access once and assume good behavior. They cannot detect when an agent exceeds its delegated scope mid-task.\n\n### Delegation chains are invisible\n\nWhen Agent A delegates to Agent B delegates to Agent C — who authorized the final action? No existing tool answers this.\n\n### Behavioral drift goes undetected\n\nAn agent's behavior shifts silently over time. By the time you notice, the damage is done.\n\n## AgentGate intercepts before execution\n\nEvery agent action is scored across four dimensions before it's allowed to run. No agent bypasses the gate.\n\n### Identity Verification\n\n25%Ed25519 JWT tokens with scope embedded in the signed credential — immutable after issuance, offline-verifiable with the public key. No database lookup required.\n\n### Delegation Chain Integrity\n\n25%Full chain traversal at every authorization call: every ancestor's scope is verified. Atomic revoke_chain neutralizes an agent and all descendants in one call.\n\n### Purpose Alignment\n\n30%Embedding-based semantic scoring: action + resource (85% weight) vs. declared purpose. Justification is capped at 15% — cannot be used to bypass a misaligned action.\n\n### Behavioral Anomaly Detection\n\n20%Per-agent velocity baselines with trust decay over time. Dormancy followed by sudden high-volume activity is itself a risk signal — no static thresholds.\n\n### Kill Chain Detection\n\nBeyond single-requestEach individual request may look clean. AgentGate examines the full 5-minute sequence. Bulk reads followed by an export. A read followed by a delete on the same resource. Progressive sensitivity escalation. Directory sweeps across 6+ prefixes. Patterns that only become visible across multiple calls — and that no rule-based system can catch.\n\nDrop in your API key — one line of code\n\nSee every agent action in real time — attacks blocked live\n\nDemo scenario — AgentGate intercepting a simulated multi-agent attack sequence in real time\n\n## See AgentGate in action\n\nWatch a live run — real agents, real attacks, real-time blocking.\n\n## The market context\n\nThe regulatory and threat landscape is converging. Enterprises need answers now.\n\nOWASP LLM06\n\nExcessive Agency — agents granted permissions beyond their declared scope, acting outside their intended purpose. Listed as a critical risk in OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications.\n\nOWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications, 2025\n\nMITRE ATLAS\n\nAdversarial ML tactics against AI systems now formally catalogued — reconnaissance, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration all apply to autonomous agents.\n\nMITRE ATLAS, 2024\n\nAugust 2026\n\nEU AI Act high-risk obligations take effect — enterprises have months, not years, to implement governance controls for high-risk AI systems.\n\nEU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689)\n\nRegulatory pressure and adversarial sophistication are converging.
