The Fundamental Shift in AI Security
Autonomous AI agents make unpredictable execution decisions. Static perimeter defenses, token-level prompt filters, and broad API tokens cannot prevent agents from executing unauthorized actions when exposed to prompt injection payloads in untrusted code or issues.
Core Capabilities
- Task-Scoped Runtime Authorization: Evaluates actions against the active delegated task in real time.
- In-VPC Runtime Enforcement: Low-latency in-memory policy engine inside customer infrastructure.
- Immutable Audit Evidence: Generates sanitized flight logs designed to support SOC 2 and HIPAA control mapping.
Enterprise Capabilities
- Task-Based Authorization: Scopes agent permissions strictly to the active delegated task objective and expires automatically.
- Deterministic Tool Sandboxing: Evaluates tool actions against strict parameter allowlists before execution.
- Real-Time Mid-Task Revocation: Halts rogue or drifting execution on the next tool call without terminating developer sessions.
- Automated Secret Masking: Scrubs personal access tokens and cloud credentials from all recorded flight logs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Boundrix?
Boundrix is a runtime authorization and audit layer for autonomous AI agents developed by SASLabs. It enforces task-scoped execution boundaries so AI agents can complete their tasks without exceeding their delegated authority.
What is runtime authorization for AI agents?
Runtime authorization is the process of evaluating whether an autonomous AI agent is permitted to perform a specific action at the point of execution, using the agent's identity, delegated task, execution context, and current authorization state.
How does Boundrix differ from RBAC?
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) grants broad, standing permissions to an identity. Boundrix evaluates task-scoped authority at runtime, checking whether a specific action is admissible for the active delegated task right now.
How does Boundrix handle agent delegation?
Boundrix creates a tamper-proof delegation lineage that links the human principal, the delegating agent, downstream sub-agents, and the task scope to ensure authority attenuates monotonically across multi-agent chains.
Can Boundrix revoke an agent’s authority?
Yes. Boundrix supports real-time mid-task revocation. When a task is revoked, any subsequent tool call attempted by the agent is immediately rejected.
Does Boundrix work with GitHub?
Yes. Boundrix's flagship initial use case secures AI coding agents interacting with GitHub, scoping actions to assigned repositories and branches while blocking destructive actions and credential exfiltration.
Does Boundrix run inside the customer VPC?
Yes. Boundrix is designed for in-VPC deployment via SDKs and lightweight container sidecars, keeping all policy decisions and source code within customer infrastructure.
How does Boundrix differ from prompt guardrails?
Prompt guardrails filter probabilistic text inputs and outputs. Boundrix enforces deterministic execution boundaries at the API and tool layer, ensuring unauthorized actions are blocked regardless of LLM reasoning or prompt injection.
