AI Governance
AI Agent Security
Govern every MCP / API call your AI agents make — authenticate with your existing IAM, enforce least-privilege access, meter usage, redact sensitive data, and route to the right model — all without changing agent code.
Overview
RequestRocket in the AI Stack
RequestRocket sits between your AI agents and the MCP / APIs they call. Every request passes through authentication, access control, rate limiting, and optional transforms before reaching the upstream — and every response is filtered, shaped, and logged before returning to the agent.
The Problem
Why AI Agents Need Runtime Controls
AI agents make autonomous API calls — to LLMs, third-party services, internal tools, and data sources. But the credentials they carry are typically long-lived, over-scoped, and shared across agents. There is rarely per-agent identity, no usage governance, and no consistent audit trail.
Over-scoped credentials
Agents typically share a single MCP / API key or service account with full access to every endpoint. Compromising one agent compromises every system it can reach. There is no way to scope, rotate, or revoke access for a single agent without disrupting others.
No visibility or limits
Without metering or logging at the proxy layer, a runaway agent can exhaust API quotas, leak PII into context windows, or generate unbounded cost — and no one knows until the invoice arrives or the data breach surfaces.
Controls
What RequestRocket Adds
Integrate with Your IAM
Authenticate AI agents using your existing identity provider — Auth0, Okta, Entra ID, Cognito, or any OIDC-compliant IdP. Issue JWTs from your IdP and validate them at the proxy via JWKS. Each agent gets a verifiable identity without building custom auth into agent code.
Authentication →Rules, Metering & Limiting
Restrict which endpoints each agent can call using declarative allow/deny rules that match on method, path, headers, body, and JWT claims. Layer meters on top to cap request volume or extracted values (token counts, cost) per minute, hour, day, or month.
Authorization →Model Routing & Overrides
Use request transforms to route agents to different model endpoints based on request content, agent identity, or cost policy. Override model parameters, inject system prompts, or redirect to a cheaper model dynamically — without changing the agent's code or configuration.
Data Transformation →Data Redaction
Strip PII, internal identifiers, system metadata, and any fields that should never enter an agent's context window. Filters apply before the response reaches the agent, so sensitive data never leaves the proxy boundary. Layered across credentials, proxies, and targets.
Data Redaction →Agent Observability & Governance
Every agent MCP / API call produces a full audit record — timing, credential identity, rule evaluations, meter outcomes, filter actions, and response status. Stream to your SIEM for compliance. Dashboard analytics surface anomalies, cost trends, and usage patterns per agent.
Observability →Credential Isolation
The upstream credential — whether it's an OpenAI key, a database token, or a SaaS secret — is stored encrypted in RequestRocket and injected at the proxy. Agents never see it. Rotate or revoke the upstream credential without touching any agent deployment.
Authentication →Architecture
How It Works
Point your agents at a RequestRocket proxy instead of the upstream MCP / API directly. The proxy handles identity, policy, and governance — your agents stay simple.
Create a proxy per upstream service
Point each proxy at the MCP / API your agents need — an LLM provider, an internal service, a third-party SaaS endpoint. Store the upstream credential encrypted in the target configuration.
Issue per-agent credentials
Mint a proxy credential for each agent — MCP / API key, bearer token, or JWT validated against your IdP. Attach rules and meters to scope exactly what each agent can do and how much.
Configure transforms & filters
Add request transforms to route models or inject parameters. Add filters to strip sensitive fields from responses. Add response transforms to reshape payloads before they reach the agent.
Monitor, iterate, govern
Watch traffic in the dashboard. Stream audit records to your SIEM (Enterprise). Tighten rules, adjust meters, and rotate credentials — all through the core API, no agent redeployment required.
