Permission that never narrows
A valid credential lets an agent reach anything it can see, until that credential expires. Nothing limits it to the one thing it was asked to do.
ConSentra · Execution-scoped authorization
Your agent is authenticated. Nothing is deciding whether it should act.
ConSentra is a control point for enterprise AI agents. Every action an agent takes against a real business system stops here, gets a yes or no from your policy, and runs under a permission good for that one action only.
The gap
01
02
03
Knowing who an agent is tells you nothing about what it should do.
Enterprises are giving AI agents real credentials and real reach into finance, HR, and cloud systems. Identity confirms the agent is who it claims to be, and then nothing decides whether it should take this particular action right now.
Whose authority was that?
Most deployments cannot tell the agent apart from the person it acts for. Once those become one, nobody can say whose authority was spent.
Logs are not evidence
Logs record that something happened. An auditor asks who approved it and under which rule. Most log trails cannot answer that.
How it works
Four checks. Any one of them can stop the call.
Agents connect to ConSentra the way they connect to any other tool, and it connects onward only to systems you have registered. Nothing is approved by default. If anything required is missing or cannot be trusted, the request is refused.
01 · Who is asking
Agent and person, established separately
ConSentra verifies the agent, then separately establishes the person whose authority it is acting under and when that authority runs out.
REFUSEDUnrecognized agent, unclear identity, or authority that has lapsed.
02 · Should it be allowed
Your policy answers, the same way every time
Written rules your team owns return yes, no, or send it to a human first. The AI model is not the one deciding.
REFUSEDPolicy says no, or cannot answer in time.
03 · Permission for one action
Approval covers that action and nothing else
Permission is issued for that exact action on that exact record, once. It is short-lived and can be pulled back while the work is still in flight.
REFUSEDPermission expired, already used, altered, or presented by anyone else.
04 · Act and record
Only now does the request reach your system
The action runs, and the decision behind it is written as tamper-evident evidence, kept apart from ordinary application logging.
REFUSEDThe line from decision to action cannot be completed.
What changes
Agents you can put in front of an auditor.
A much smaller worst case
Permission is issued per action rather than per session. One that cannot be reused or widened is a far smaller exposure than a credential that works for an hour.
Decisions your team controls
Approvals come from written rules your people own and can change, so any past decision can be replayed against the version that was live at the time.
Evidence ready in advance
Every decision is captured with the rule behind it, so the answer to an audit question already exists rather than being assembled under pressure.
Scope
What it is not.
- A prompt firewall or model safety product
- A secrets manager
- An inventory of every AI agent in your organization
- A replacement for your identity provider or your policy language
One condition worth stating up front
ConSentra is only a control point if agents cannot reach protected systems some other way. A rollout pairs it with network and identity controls and retires the standing credentials your agents hold today. We treat that as part of the engagement.
Where we are
We would rather tell you this here than on a call.
A working proof of concept demonstrates authenticated agent mediation and action logging today. The rest of this page is an approved engineering plan being delivered in phases, and we are publishing it now because the problem is already live inside enterprises.
PHASE 1
Foundation
Controlled access to registered systems, agent identity, and the person being acted for.
In progressPHASE 2
Enforcement
Policy decisions on every protected action, single-use permissions, fail-closed throughout.
PlannedPHASE 3
Governance
Durable audit evidence, revocation and kill switch, and day-to-day administration.

Are your agents already reaching systems that matter?
We are working with a small number of organizations running AI agents against real enterprise systems. Design partners shape the first enforced use case.
