Keydris

Keydris

Keydris is an authorization infrastructure that enforces per-action authority for AI agents by evaluating agent-presented authority against versioned policies before actions run, returning ALLOW, APPROVAL REQUIRED, or REJECT decisions and recording decision evidence.

Keydris

Keydris provides an authorization layer specifically for AI agents that evaluates whether a given agent action is permitted under a centrally authored, versioned policy at the moment the action is attempted. Integrators present the agent's authority at the execution boundary; Keydris returns a decision (ALLOW, APPROVAL REQUIRED, or REJECT) which the receiving boundary enforces. Keydris supplies the decision and records a decision record that preserves the evaluated action, agent, policy version, checks, outcome, and timestamp for audit and export. Keydris does not itself execute actions or serve as an identity provider; it operates alongside IAM and existing identity systems to add action-time authority verification and revocation.

Keydris lets developers and builders control what AI agents can do before they do it. You define the authority; Keydris checks it before a governed action runs.

Key Features

Per-action authority checks

Each governed action is checked against the policy assigned to an agent at the moment it is attempted; Keydris returns ALLOW, APPROVAL REQUIRED, or REJECT before execution.

Policy model and versioning

Policies are authored and versioned centrally so each decision is attributable to the policy version in force when the action was evaluated.

Decision records and audit logs

Every decision leaves a record that includes the evaluated action, agent, policy version, outcome, and timestamp for review and export.

Revocation of authority

Authorities can be revoked; revoked authority fails its next verification while the agent process may continue running.

CLI and developer quickstart

An installable CLI (@keydris/cli) and quickstart walkthrough enable registering agents, assigning policies, initializing a harness, and running governed sessions (Developer Preview).

Deployment/integration flexibility

You integrate Keydris at the execution boundary that will enforce the decision; payloads can stay on your execution path and Keydris is not required to proxy all traffic.

Fail-closed platform behavior

When Keydris cannot obtain a decision, the current platform behavior is to fail closed: the action does not proceed.

Use Cases

Govern repository operations

Allow agents to read repositories but require human approval before merging pull requests by enforcing policy checks at merge time.

Agent actions across MCP / API platforms

Provide per-action authorization for agents acting through MCP servers or APIs so platform teams can enforce scoped agent authority and audit decisions.

Enterprise governance and compliance

Centralize policy management, decision evidence, and revocation to support enterprise security reviews and governance of agent capabilities.

Integrations

@keydris/cli (npm)

Official CLI published on npm for initializing harnesses, starting the proxy, and interacting with Keydris.

MCP & API platforms

Integration points described for MCP and API platform teams so receiving boundaries can request verification from Keydris before executing actions.

Example harnesses (Claude Code)

Example harness and usage shown for governed sessions with Claude Code in documentation and quickstart.

Benefits

Adds action-time authority checks beyond traditional IAM and OAuth to ensure a specific attempted action is allowed under the assigned policy.
Provides auditable decision records that preserve the evaluated action, policy version, and outcome for review and export.
Enables revocation and lifecycle management of agent authority without requiring agent redeployment or reconfiguration.
Integrates with existing identity and platform authorization systems rather than replacing them.
Offers a public CLI and documentation so teams can try the Developer Preview without a sales call or credit card.

Limitations

Keydris does not execute actions or act as an identity provider; it only supplies authorization decisions.
The platform currently fails closed when a decision cannot be obtained; Keydris does not claim governed work continues through a control-plane outage.
Keydris does not claim to be never in any data path; on third-party integrations a Keydris integration may participate in the data path.
No public latency benchmark or production SLA is published yet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Keydris?
Keydris lets you control what AI agents can do before they do it by defining versioned policies and checking each governed action against the assigned policy; the result is ALLOW, APPROVAL REQUIRED, or REJECT.
Why isn’t OAuth or IAM enough?
OAuth, IAM, and service accounts establish access but do not by themselves prove that a specific governed action is inside the policy assigned to the agent at the moment it is attempted; Keydris adds that per-action authority check.
Is Keydris an identity provider or proxy?
No—Keydris is the authorization layer for AI agents, not an identity provider, agent runtime, monitoring product, or universal traffic proxy.
Where does verification happen?
The receiving boundary evaluates the governed action by requesting verification from the Keydris platform; the boundary can run in your environment but does not evaluate the policy itself.
Does Keydris see my payloads?
Keydris does not claim to be a universal proxy; on supported self-hosted paths payload traffic stays in your environment while authorization information crosses to Keydris; on some third-party systems an integration may participate in the data path.
What happens if Keydris is unavailable?
The current platform fails closed: an action whose authority decision cannot be obtained does not proceed (this behavior is fixed today).
What is available today?
Developer Preview is available and free to try; the CLI is public on npm, documentation and in-browser demonstrations are open, and you can sign up and use the hosted application without contacting sales or providing a credit card; there is no production SLA yet.

Getting Started

  1. 1 Register the agent in the Keydris console and assign a policy to obtain an Agent ID.
  2. 2 Install the CLI (Node.js 20+): npm install -g @keydris/cli.
  3. 3 Initialize the harness with the Agent ID and configure harness settings (keydris init ...).
  4. 4 Start the background proxy (keydris proxy up) and verify status (keydris status).
  5. 5 Run the governed agent session; Keydris issues a short-lived KIT and checks each governed action against the policy before execution.
