Unified Identity for Agents, tools, and apps

Accelerate agent adoption without sacrificing control.
Bring policy, context, and accountability to every agent interaction.

Build and deploy trusted agents into production

Challenge

Traditional access models fail to support agent-native systems

Without a consistent way to trust what agents can do, developers are forced to hand-roll identity, delegation, and access for every agent. Security teams face an impossible trade-off: over-permission agents and accept the risk, or lock them down and lose their value. Developers are left without the tools they need to build trusted agents. Problem we're solving Challenge imageBuilding truly autonomous trusted agents is impossible without real-time enforcement and deterministic guardrails.

Solution

Built in access control for everyagent tool call at runtime

Keycard authorizes each tool call as it happens – issuing scoped, just-in-time credentials based on the agent’s identity, task, and user context. Every decision is logged. Nothing is hardcoded. No secrets live inside the agent. Developers build faster with built-in delegation and guardrails. Security gets visibility and audit to accelerate agent adoption. Problem we're solving Solution imageA built-in trust layer for every user → agent → tool interaction.
How it works

Build with agent-native identity infrastructure

Build and ship secure AI-powered experiences with confidence in minutes, underpinned by dynamic ephemeral access controls that are built-in, not bolted on.

01Connect Apps and Services

  • Ship AI that can touch production – put the user in control with deterministic guardrails and complete security guarantees for every task.

  • Access remote MCP services via Keycard’s gateway — or deploy your own for full control.

  • Make your internal services agent-ready with drop-in, standards-compliant SDKs for MCP and A2A.

02Enable Trusted Interactions

  • Upgrade from static, long-lived credentials and role-based access controls to dynamic, task-scoped tokens for every action.

  • Enable federated authorization that puts the user, agent builder, and resource owner in control with fine-grained, temporal policy enforcement.

  • Create visibility and achieve compliance with a complete audit trail for access events and policy decisions with full identity and intent context.

03Join the Agent Economy

  • Expose your products and platform via standard MCP and A2A protocols, ensuring you're always compliant with the latest identity standards.

  • Empower developers to create best-in-class, third-party agent experiences using your product with robust, fine-grained authorization and support for human-in-the-loop workflows.

  • Launch your agent program and prevent abuse with confidence using federated agent identities, active policy enforcement, and complete audit trails.
