Open Platform for
Policy-Driven,
Auditable,
Secure
AI Agents
and Workflows
Understand and control:
What AI agents access
the tools they call
the actions they take
and who triggered them
with tamper-evident logs of the full execution
graph.
Define everything declaratively
Integrate with GitOps cleanly
Whether you are automating tasks that touch sensitive systems, creating AI agents that securely access multiple systems within your company to gather precise context, or building new business workflows on top of existing data, Tansive gives you the platform to deploy and run them safely while meeting compliance requirements.
Why Tansive?
Companies and teams want to adopt AI agents, but they're stuck:
- Context is king — agents need access to data from sprawling enterprise systems to be useful — but integrating securely across APIs, services, and data silos is a hard problem. Data consolidation is a whole new project, and an expensive one.
- Security is a blocker — more data = more systems, more APIs, token sprawl, more risk. Without constraints, agent behavior can produce unintended outcomes.
- AI agents are non-deterministic actors — hard to observe, breaking traditional DevOps and security models. Determinism ≠ clever prompts or using one AI model as a guardrail for another — necessary, but not sufficient.
- Agent-to-agent and tool chaining amplifies risk, not just the capability. Hard to prove process or regulatory compliance when one or more steps are non-deterministic and unconstrained.
- Existing frameworks focus on making agents run — solves the hard functionality problem, but doesn't solve the problem of taking agents to production.
- Operational Burden — Playbooks calling for new services and APIs to speak Agent protocols shift complexity and risk elsewhere. New APIs and services = added development and operational burden + expanded security surface area and compliance scope.
Tansive is a platform for running AI agents with trust, traceability, and production-grade controls.
Tansive turns agent and tool scripts into trusted systems that are policy-enforced,
operated by teams using their battle-tested CI/CD workflows, and deployed in secure
infrastructure — on-prem or multi-cloud.
It helps developers embed agentic workflows into their applications or build new vertical
use cases on top of existing data, without needing to learn new languages, complex SDKs,
and frameworks.
Ops teams can run agents just like they run APIs and services today: declaratively,
securely, and with full observability and compliance.
Tansive provides:
Runtime enforcement of declarative policies
Tansive enforces policy rules over access and execution at runtime via policy-bound
sessions. Rules can be scoped on any dimension, and every tool call and agent
invocation is evaluated against policy rules.
Ensure agents only do what they're permitted to do.
Immutable constraints per agent session
Sessions can be pinned to immutable values at runtime. User-defined transform
functions reject or morph the input to every tool or agent call. This creates a hard
boundary against runaway agent calls and prompt injection.
Protect sensitive data such as PII, PHI, and PCI. Ensure regulatory
compliance.
Configure Tansive via declarative specs
Tansive is configured via version controlled, declarative YAML specs reminiscent of
cloud-native patterns. Policies are modeled on familar cloud IAM constructs. This fits
naturally within existing GitOps workflows.
Low cognitive load and operational burden for Ops teams
Language and framework agnostic
The most effective tools and AI agents are built by the teams who actually use them.
In Tansive, tools can be written as a bash script or in Python, Java, or anything
else. And no special SDKs, servers, or frameworks required.
Enable faster adoption of AI agents that solve day-to-day problems.
Tamper-evident audit logs
Tansive logs every tool call and agent invocation along with inputs and the policy
rules that allowed or denied the call. Logs are hash-linked and signed at source to
ensure integrity and provenance. This provides a barrier against malicious or
unauthorized calls.
Enable observability, prove compliance, and support audit.
Built Open Source ⚡️
Tansive is free, community‑driven, and runs on your infrastructure. We believe that trust and security require open development.
Tansive is built by a founder with deep experience in enterprise infrastructure and AI systems. My prior work leading teams building and operating multi-cloud distributed systems shaped my perspective on the operational challenges of deploying AI at scale."
