The basics
What is an agent execution boundary? The layer between an AI agent's decision and its action. It returns a signed allow, deny or escalate answer before the action runs.
Questions owners ask before they call Plain answers about what TrustGate records, what it does not do, who it is for and how to start.
How engagements work How an engagement starts and what it includes.
Checking what an agent did
How do you tell if an AI agent did what it said? Do not ask the agent. Check the record held by the system that received the work, and report anything you cannot confirm as unknown.

Comparing controls
Agent execution boundary vs observability, guardrails and IAM They answer different questions: what happened, what a model may say, who may access a system, and whether this exact action was cleared.
Access and data
Can an AI assistant see files it should not? It can read whatever the account it runs under may open, including files shared too widely long ago. Check access before the assistant searches.
Agents that can cancel or close
Should an AI agent be able to cancel a service without a person approving it? Not without a person who has separate authority to approve it and can see the evidence. A cancellation changes what someone can actually receive.
Retries and payments
Does an idempotency key stop an AI agent paying twice? Yes, when the key stays the same on every retry and the destination still remembers and checks it. A fresh key per retry changes nothing.
Insurance and public sector
AI agents and insurance: what to hand underwriting Insurers are already acting on AI agents. An insured can hand underwriting a record of what each agent was cleared to do, not written by the agent.
AI agents in the public sector: the record before the signature A program owner who must approve an AI agent needs a record of what it was allowed to do, made before the action ran.
