Every tool call is an attack surface
When agents can query databases, call APIs, send emails, and execute code, every tool becomes a potential vector for data exfiltration, unauthorized actions, or privilege escalation.
For Technology Companies
Averta gives technology teams the guardrails to deploy AI on APIs, customer data, and internal systems. Classify every prompt and gate every tool call, so you can ship AI features without expanding your attack surface or losing the trust of your customers.

Every customer-facing and internal AI agent fails in the same predictable ways. The attack surface is the same wherever they run.
When agents can query databases, call APIs, send emails, and execute code, every tool becomes a potential vector for data exfiltration, unauthorized actions, or privilege escalation.
Most agents are deployed with broad tool access for convenience. A customer service agent with database write access or an analytics agent with email capability creates unnecessary risk.
Model Context Protocol and function calling make it easy to connect agents to tools. They also make it easy for compromised agents to abuse those connections.
Input classified across every layer.
Customer-data safety
Every prompt, tool call, and response is classified and risk-scored at the execution boundary. Prompt manipulation and customer-data leakage are caught before they reach your APIs or your tenants, not after the call ships.
Go to classification engineTenant-scoped controls
Allowed actions live in policy, not in prompts or agent code. Permissions scope by tenant, role, and data class, so an agent's reach into your APIs and customer data never exceeds what you authorized.
Go to tool policies frameworkMCP control
Every MCP server, public or self-hosted, sits behind a single Averta endpoint. Credentials live at the gateway, not in agent prompts or code, and each agent only sees the tools scoped to its tenant and role. No token sprawl, no shadow MCP connections, no agent reaching another customer's data.
Go to MCP gatewayCloud, private VPC, embedded SDK, or gateway integration. Run Averta where your data, policies, and auditors need it.
Fully managed by Averta. Fastest path to production, no infrastructure to run.
Deploy in your own environment, so data never leaves your boundary.
Drop Averta into your stack at the SDK or proxy layer, wherever your agents run.
Route agent traffic through the gateway, so policy and audit apply at the edge.
One platform for every layer.
Classification, policy, and audit working together as one AI agent security platform, protecting your agents internally and in production.
Secure the agents touching your repos, CI, and shell, before they leak secrets or run a destructive command.

Research, guidance, and frameworks for security and engineering teams deploying AI agents in production.
What teams ask when they evaluate AI guardrails against their own production traffic.
On held-out adversarial and benign traffic, with precision, recall, and false-positive rates reported per intent class and per risk band. You can run the engine in shadow mode against your own production traffic before enforcing anything.
Yes. Classification sits at the execution boundary, independent of model and framework. Switching providers or upgrading models does not change the policy surface.
They are escalated, blocked, or routed for review according to your policy. The default posture is to never allow an unclassified execution silently.
Yes. The taxonomy is configurable per product surface. Start from our generic baseline and extend it, or define one from scratch for a specific copilot or workflow.
Inline, ahead of the model and ahead of any tool execution. Inputs are classified before they reach the agent, planned actions before they fire, and outputs before they reach the customer.
Both terms describe the same job: a guardrails layer that inspects prompts and actions before they execute. Averta's Classification Engine is that layer for AI agents, scoring every input, tool call, and output inline so your policy layer can allow, escalate, or block.
