About Provenant
Provenant provides a control plane and tamper-evident audit ledger designed to govern AI agents by enforcing policies, budgets, and approvals before any action is executed. It intercepts agent actions such as payments, API calls, or data transfers, evaluates them against predefined mandates, organizational policies, budgets, rate limits, and behavioral risk scores, and then records the decision in a cryptographically verifiable ledger. The system supports both cooperative SDK integration and an enforcing gateway that executes actions only after policy approval, ensuring agents never hold credentials that could bypass controls. Every decision—allow, hold for human approval, or deny—is logged with an explainable trail, and the ledger maintains a hash-chained record that can be independently verified offline or anchored to external systems like WORM storage or SIEM platforms. The platform is designed for organizations that need to govern autonomous agents handling sensitive operations, providing real-time policy enforcement, budget tracking, and human-in-the-loop approvals where required.

Frequently asked questions about Provenant
What does Provenant do?
Provenant provides a control plane and tamper-evident audit ledger for governing AI agents. It enforces policies, budgets, and approvals before any agent action—such as payments, API calls, or data transfers—is executed, while maintaining a cryptographically verifiable record of every decision.
Who is Provenant designed for?
The platform is designed for organizations that need to govern autonomous agents handling sensitive operations, ensuring real-time policy enforcement, budget tracking, and human-in-the-loop approvals where required.
How does Provenant enforce policies on AI agents?
Provenant intercepts agent actions via an SDK or enforcing gateway, evaluates them against mandates, organizational policies, budgets, rate limits, and behavioral risk scores, and records the decision in a tamper-evident ledger before execution.
Can Provenant integrate with existing systems?
Yes, Provenant offers TypeScript and Python SDKs, a plain HTTP API, and connectors for credential brokering. It can also integrate with external systems like WORM storage or SIEM platforms for anchoring audit ledgers.
Does Provenant support self-hosting?
Yes, Provenant can be self-hosted on any infrastructure tier. Self-hosting is open to everyone, with a free tier available and paid plans activated via a signed key without requiring phone-home verification.
How does the tamper-evident ledger work?
Every decision and change is recorded in a hash-chained, checkpointed ledger. The ledger can be verified independently, with entries cryptographically linked to prevent tampering, and chain heads can be anchored to external systems for additional proof.
