Agent identity and governance for enterprise AI
Autonomy without overreach.
HyperShell puts a governed Envelope around every agent task, in your own infrastructure with OpenShell or your AWS account.

The problem
Personal AI assistants took off. Autonomous agents stall on access control.
People supervise assistants. Autonomous agents choose their own steps. Enterprises need to grant access without approving every action.
- Authority
- Who granted permission, and for which task?
- Every new workflow waits on a manual access review.
- Limits
- What can the agent read, change or delegate?
- Broad credentials put critical data at risk, and model calls and retries run up spend.
- Evidence
- Did the agent stay within those limits?
- Logs show what was called, not whether the agent stayed in scope.
The product
An Envelope defines what an agent can do.
One Envelope per task, tied to the person or organization that granted it, and enforced the same way on any supported runtime.

Agent Envelope
Tools and data
Approved systems and resources.
Actions
What the agent may read or change.
Delegation
Helpers get the same or narrower limits. More needs new approval.
Models and spend
Approved models and a spending limit.

01
Define the authority
Identify the agent and the person or organization granting authority. Define its task, permitted actions, resources and limits.
02
Enforce the limits
Block actions outside the Envelope. Sub-agents inherit its limits. More authority needs new approval.
03
Show what happened
Link actions and outcomes to the original grant, so you can review whether the agent stayed in scope.
The platform
Every grant, request and exception in one place.
Engineers request access within a template ceiling and inspect every run. Administrators set the ceilings and review only the exceptions.
See the platform walkthroughWhy HyperShell
Gateways see tool calls. HyperShell governs the whole task.
Agent controls overlap. The difference is what authority is scoped to and where it is enforced.

One Envelope, end to end
HyperShell works with your existing identity provider and runtimes rather than replacing them. Category comparison based on vendor documentation.
