3 Key Points

  1. Megent catches every tool call an AI agent makes before it executes, checks it against a policy file, and returns ALLOW, STOP_TOOL, or HUMAN_IN_THE_LOOP decisions in under a millisecond.

  2. The system includes sensitive-data detection that identifies risky fields when agents call data, an identity layer using signed JWT passports to verify agent trust levels, and budget-limiting policies to set spend caps by agent, workflow, or day.

  3. Teams can wrap third-party agents they did not write—vendor plugins, marketplace agents, open-source bots—and enforce their own rules regardless of what's inside the black box, addressing supply chain risk when deploying agents with unknown behavior.
