Scale agent autonomy without scaling risk.
Govern your agents, give them room to act, and keep every action accountable.
Your agents are not held back by what they can do. They are held back by what nobody can prove.
Access ≠ authorityAn agent can have technically valid permissions and still produce an outcome it shouldn’t to the business.
Valid actions depend on live contextApprovals, limits, workflow state, and underlying data can change whether an action should still proceed.
Agents cannot be governed retroactivelyLogs and audit trails help reconstruct what happened, but they provide evidence after execution.
Bring certainty to every agent action.
Understand how your agents operate, validate how they should act, and build confidence in the actions you give them responsibility for.
Connect your workflows.
Connect your agents and the systems you want visibility into. Nothing else in your stack changes.
See what agents reach.
Understand what your agents can do, which systems they reach, and where important context is missing.
Know your policies hold.
Test the rules your business already relies on against real agent activity, before they gate anything.
Scale with confidence.
Keep trusted actions moving and surface those that need review. Your agents work as they do today.
For the workflows you would never hand over blindly.
The same pattern shows up wherever agents hold real authority: each step is permitted, the combination is not.
Payments, refunds and vendor changes
Verify amount, approval, and destination before money moves. Catch payments or refunds that exceed what was actually authorized.
Claims and servicing workflows
Evaluate the full sequence, not just each step. Catch actions that skip a required approval or become invalid because something changed earlier in the workflow.
Privileged remediation
Keep agent actions within the scope of the incident. Catch privilege increases, out-of-scope changes, or access that expands beyond what was approved.
Data movement across workflows
Track sensitive data as agents query, combine, and export it. Catch data that becomes sensitive across steps or is sent somewhere it was never approved to go.
Delegation across agents
Preserve the original authority through every handoff. Catch downstream agents that gain more permission or responsibility than was originally granted.
Built for teams who want confidence without rebuilding their stack.
Incorporate the systems you already run. Each system added expands what Shepherd can verify without changing how your agents work.
Everything you need to know.
