Agents are here.
Oso makes them safe.
Continuous visibility and control for every agent, prompt,and tool call — across your organization.
Why Oso for Agents?
Agents move faster than the systems built to govern them. Static controls, limited visibility, and after-the-fact review don't hold up when agents can access code, data, tools, and systems in a single session.
Without continuous visibility and control, that access creates risk at machine speed. Teams end up stuck between overexposed agents and agents too constrained to be useful.
"We want partners who understand where security is headed, not just where it's been. Oso gets that agentic systems need fine-grained authorization baked in from the start."
"You can't prompt your way to least privilege. Oso
wires it into every call."
How Oso Works
Discover
Find every agent running inside your company. On a laptop, in a browser, in the terminal – wherever it’s running. Shut down the unsanctioned AI.
Monitor
Bring all approved AI traffic under your watch – every prompt, tool call, and response. Start monitoring so you’re prepared for the next issue or question from leadership.
Detect
Know when something's wrong. Get default detection for rule violations, as well as common issues like high-velocity behavior, PII leakage, and API keys.
Control
Build any rule to capture your internal AI policy, like "block unknown MCP servers," "deny all delete operations," or “allow only ChatGPT and Claude.”
Report
Complete logs of every agent action. Export compliance records on demand. Walk any incident back step by step.
FAQs
Oso for Agents is a platform for organizations to discover, monitor, detect, and control AI agent activity inside their company. It addresses the problem that AI coding agents, browser agents, and other autonomous tools often run with broad inherited permissions and no visibility or audit trail. Oso for Agents lets security and IT teams see every agent running across endpoints, browsers, and network traffic; monitor every prompt, tool call, and response; get alerted on policy violations or sensitive data exposure; and enforce rules on what agents can and can't do.
Shadow AI refers to AI agents and tools that employees are using without IT or security teams knowing about them — installed on laptops, running in browsers, or making network calls outside sanctioned channels. Oso for Agents continuously inventories agent activity across all these surfaces so organizations can identify unsanctioned tools and shut them down or bring them under policy.
For approved agents routed through Oso's edge proxy, Oso captures every prompt sent to the model, every completion returned, every tool call made, and the data that flows through the session. This produces a full, step-by-step timeline of what the agent did — useful for incident investigation, compliance, and audit.
Oso generates alerts for: detection of unsanctioned agents, PII appearing in agent sessions, API keys surfacing in prompts or completions, high-velocity unusual behavior, violations of custom policies (e.g., "block unknown MCP servers," "deny all delete operations," "allow only ChatGPT and Claude").

The Least Privilege Report
96% of permissions are never used. When agents inherit them, over-permissioning becomes a security crisis.
