Identify, govern and observe every human, service and agent.
Enterprises already govern people. Keel lets them govern agents the same way, across every cloud and platform, without waiting for each vendor to build its own controls.
Five products, one loop.
KeelAuth and KeelKey are the foundation every actor passes through. Governance sits at the center of the loop, using Registry's inventory and Intelligence's risk signals to decide what identities and credentials can do.
One system of record
The delegation chain and the audit trail only work if the same system issues the identity, makes the decision and records the result.
Neutral across platforms
Platform vendors will build agent identity for their own estates. Most enterprises run several clouds, SaaS platforms and agent frameworks, and need one control plane across all of them.
Enforced, not just reported
Policy is checked at token issuance, at credential issuance and on every request for enterprise data, so a change takes effect on the agent's next request.
From registration to retirement.
Keel covers the full life of an agent, not one moment. The loop closes when risk signals from Intelligence raise an agent's tier or trigger suspension, and the kill switch revokes identity, credentials and context access together.
- 1Keel Registry
Register
A team proposes an agent with owner, purpose, data classes and tools. Discovery also finds agents nobody declared.
- 2Keel Governance
Approve
Onboarding policy applies by risk tier. High-risk agents need approval; the most sensitive need a quorum.
- 3KeelAuth
Identify
The agent gets its own identity. Only registered, approved agents can get tokens.
- 4KeelKey
Credential
Short-lived, scoped credentials for exactly the systems the agent may reach.
- 5KeelAuth
Act on behalf
When a user invokes the agent, token exchange carries the user, the delegation chain and the purpose.
- 6Keel Governance
Enforce
Policy is checked at token issuance, at credential issuance and on every request for enterprise context.
- 7Keel Intelligence
Observe
Every event is recorded with identity and policy context. Behavior is baselined and drift is flagged.
- 8Keel Governance
Respond
Risk signals raise the agent's tier or suspend it. The kill switch revokes identity, credentials and context access together.
- 9Keel Registry
Retire
When the owner retires the agent, or an attestation lapses, everything it held is revoked.
