EVERY ACTION, CHECKED

The Keydris Gateway sits at the heart of the flow: it issues each agent a kit, scoped by the policies you set in the Keydris app. Agents present that kit with every tool call, and the Kit Reader : lightweight middleware installed on top of your MCP server : checks it with the gateway and allows or denies the call before it ever reaches the server.

WHY THIS EXISTS

The standard of proof

Archetypal roles, not customer quotes — the standard Keydris is built to meet.

“Which of these actions was actually authorized , and by whom?”

Chief information security officer

Every action arrives with its permission attached: issuer, scope, policy, signature , verifiable in milliseconds, independent of the agent that carried it.

“If we revoke an agent's authority at 09:00, what does it prove at 09:01?”

Head of platform engineering

Nothing. Revocation is part of verification itself — the next check fails, and the audit trail shows exactly when.

09:00:41Z · action attempted → refused · record signed

“Show me the record you would hand an auditor.”

Compliance lead

A signed sequence of decisions, handed over as it stands: each record names the request, the policy in force, the checks, and the outcome.

THE KIT

And the layer stays neutral. Keydris is independent of any model, vendor, platform, or rail. A requirement for infrastructure that sits between institutions rather than inside one of them.

Signed KIT token

•

Scoped permissions

•

Minimum privilege

Keydris issues the agent a signed token, the KIT. It states what the agent may do and for how long. Minimum privilege by default.

Append-only log

•

Hash-chained

•

Immutable record

The authorization is bound to an append-only, hash-chained log. An immutable record of what the agent was permitted to do.

Enforced at the front door

•

Proof checked first

•

No proof, no connection

Enforcement is at the counterparty's front door. The receiving system verifies the token before the agent can connect or act.

Machine-speed revocation

•

Across every boundary

•

Fails verification instantly

Authority is pulled at machine speed, across every boundary. A revoked token fails verification the instant permission should end.
