What existing tools miss

Traditional security infrastructure was built for human users and network traffic. AI agent interactions require a fundamentally different approach.

Firewall / WAF

Network layer only. Cannot inspect tool call semantics or understand AI agent intent.

IAM / SSO

Authenticates the human, not the AI agent. No concept of tool-level authorization.

CASB

Blind to tool-level interactions. Designed for cloud app access, not agent-to-system calls.

DLP

Cannot understand contextual appropriateness of data flowing through tool responses.

SIEM

No prevention, no real-time enforcement. Detects after the fact, not at the point of action.
