Execution Gateway

A controlled path to systems you do not control.

When the action takes effect in someone else's system, a payment provider, a third-party ERP or a logistics platform, the Gateway holds the entry point and the credentials, so every protected action passes Execution Guardian first.

Three jobs

Decide, contain, and find out.

01 · DECIDE

Ask Guardian every time.

An earlier approval is not assumed to still hold. Each protected action is checked when it is about to go out.

02 · CONTAIN

Keep the keys away from the agent.

The credentials that can cause effects stay behind the Gateway, so a held or blocked agent cannot simply call the target directly.

03 · FIND OUT

Treat a timeout as a question.

Status queries, receipts and callbacks from the target are used to establish what happened, instead of treating every timeout as a failure.

Not an identity system

The Gateway uses your identity; it does not replace it.

Your existing identity and access systems tell the Gateway who is calling. Whether this specific action may happen now is a separate decision, made by Guardian.

Execution Guardian

The decision: may this real-world action happen now? Built into your system when the action takes effect there.

Execution Gateway

The path: when the action takes effect elsewhere, the Gateway makes Guardian's decision unavoidable.

Typical targets

Start with one high-value action.

Payments and refunds

No second payout while the first one is unresolved.

ERP and CRM writes

Order changes, credits and customer updates within the approved task.

Agent tools and SaaS

Effectful tool calls behind one controlled path, whatever the agent framework.

Operational actions

Infrastructure and operations APIs where an outdated command can matter.

Deployment requirement

No other way around.

Bypass protection holds only when the agent cannot reach the target another way: credentials that can cause effects, and equivalent paths, must sit behind the Gateway. We check this with you for each integration.

Credentials contained

Effect-producing keys stay behind the controlled path.

Stay safe when unsure

Without a valid decision, nothing is sent.

Evidence captured

Answers from the target system feed what is known.

Confirmed per target

What each target system can report is confirmed per integration.

Choose one external action.

Bring one state-changing API, how its credentials are held today, and the failure cases that matter. We map where the Gateway should sit.
