Custodyn
Custodyn is a commercial agent trust platform that provides runtime security and policy enforcement for AI agents. It acts as an intermediary between AI agents and external actions, intercepting requests, applying configurable policies, and requiring human approval for high-risk operations. The platform supports an SDK for integration and a gateway mode that requires no code changes. The service maintains tamper-evident audit logs of all agent actions and offers features such as velocity limits, outbound connection blocking, and approval queues. It is designed to prevent incidents like unauthorized database deletions, fraudulent wire transfers, runaway ordering systems, and autonomous code modifications. Custodyn targets developers and enterprises deploying AI agents in production. It offers a free plan and 14-day trial, with setup claimed to take about five minutes. The homepage lists multiple real-world incidents that the platform could have mitigated.
