Works with the agents, frameworks, and deployment methods you already use
Authenticated
Every agent and sub-agent authenticates with its own credentials before acting. The delegation chain back to the user or upstream agent is recorded before any tool runs.
Authorized
Ory applies fine-grained authorization to shell commands, file writes, MCP tools, and API calls — the same policy model that governs human access.
Accountable
Every action is recorded and exported through OpenTelemetry to your SIEM. The delegation chain outlives the token, so the trail holds even after credentials expire.
How Ory's agent security works
Authenticate agent identities
Ory resolves the agent’s identity inside the harness, whether it was started by a human, another agent, or a headless process. Each agent gets its own credentials and audit attribution, so teams can see which agent acted, where it ran, and how it was delegated.
Apply fine-grained authorization
Before an agent action runs, Ory checks the requested tool against Ory Keto (Permissions). Shell commands, file writes, web fetches, and other harness tools can be enforced through the same Zanzibar-style permission model used for application access.
Enforcement that fits your risk tolerance
Every agent action hits a decision point before it runs. Observe first, enforce when ready — by category or down to the command. Cut off any agent instantly.
Observability across agent activity
Every permission check, tool call, and sub-agent start is recorded: who started the session, which agent acted, what it attempted, and which policy decided.

Frequently asked questions
More on agent security
AI agents act with human credentials and leave a record that cannot answer the only question that matters. Ory Agent Security closes the gap.
Ory Agent Plugins give your agent the skill catalog, the local stack, and the API surface it needs to actually build auth. No account, no keys, nothing to configure.
Ory DX: Build secure apps at the speed of thought, the right way.
Ory DX is the ultimate developer toolkit that unifies AI automation with Ory’s hardened security ecosystem. By seamlessly blending Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, plugins, CLI, and Ory Elements, it gives developers a conversational, agent-led workflow to develop enterprise-ready identity, access management, and fine-grained permissions.
