Every AI agent with tool access is a potential attack vector. They can read sensitive data, execute code, call APIs, and modify systems. Without proper controls, you're one prompt injection away from a breach.
The same capabilities that make AI agents useful—tool access, autonomy, reasoning—also make them dangerous when compromised or misconfigured.
AI agents with tool access can read sensitive data and send it to external services, intentionally or through prompt injection.
Without proper controls, agents can perform actions beyond their intended scope, modifying systems or accessing restricted resources.
Malicious inputs can hijack agent behavior, causing them to ignore instructions and execute attacker-controlled actions.
AI agents operating without audit trails create liability. Regulators increasingly require explainability for AI decisions.
See how our protection layers prevent real-world attack scenarios.
Agent reads customer SSN and includes it in API response
PII detection blocks SSN from leaving the system
Prompt injection causes agent to delete production files
Policy blocks file deletion in production environment
Agent sends proprietary code to external code review API
Egress policy prevents sensitive data from leaving network
No record of why agent made a particular decision
Full audit trail with inputs, outputs, and reasoning
Multiple layers of protection ensure that even if one control fails, others catch the threat.
Every tool call, API request, and file operation is logged with full context. Know exactly what your agents are doing.
Define what agents can and cannot do. Block dangerous actions before they execute, not after.
Identify unusual patterns that may indicate compromised agents or prompt injection attacks.
Immutable records of every decision for compliance, debugging, and incident response.
Requires transparency, human oversight, and risk management for AI systems. Non-compliance penalties up to 7% of global revenue.
AI agents processing personal data must maintain audit trails and demonstrate lawful processing. Breach notifications required within 72 hours.
Auditors are beginning to require evidence of AI governance. Without it, your certification may be at risk.
A single decorator wraps your agent tools with full observability and policy enforcement.
pip install notarylabs or npm install @notarylabs/sdk
Add @observe_tool decorator to any function your agent can call
Set rules for what actions are allowed, blocked, or require approval
View real-time activity, receive alerts, and investigate incidents
Every day without agent security is a day you're exposed. See how Notary Labs protects your AI agents.
