openintegration Guardrails

A guard between your agents and every app

Control what your agents can reach and do. Every call is checked before it leaves, and everything an app sends back is screened before your agent reads it.

Attacks arrive as ordinary tickets

Instructions can hide in anything your agent reads: a support ticket, an email, a page. The guard screens every result and withholds text written for an AI, before it enters your agent's context.

Bring your own security provider

Built-in rules always run, line by line. Add a trained classifier for the attacks rules can't see. If it's down, screening falls back to the rules and says so; nothing is treated as clean unchecked.

Built-in rulesAlways on

Instruction overrides, role changes, text addressed to an AI, hidden HTML and zero-width tricks, credential asks, bulk exfiltration.

Calls can't leave the app

Each app has an allowlist of its own API hosts. Calls are built from the app's published spec, so unknown operations, parameters and values are refused before anything is sent.

  • ✓ 10,000+ operations described from vendor specs
  • ✓ Scopes checked before the agent even sees an operation
  • ✓ Tenant hosts allowed per app, e.g. *.zendesk.com
guard.log
  slack  POST chat.postMessage → slack.com         allowed
  slack  POST chat.postMessage → hooks.collect-data blocked
         host not in Slack's allowlist
  moneybird PATCH sales_invoices/{id}               blocked
         unknown parameter: amount_override
  teams  POST chats/{id}/messages                   blocked
         scope Chat.ReadWrite not granted
  asana  GET  tasks?project=1204…                   allowed

No tokens in context. A person on every write.

Apideck adds each customer's credentials after the call leaves your server, so there's nothing in the prompt to steal. Writes stop with the exact method, URL and body until someone approves; approvals are signed, so they can't be forged.

Scope agents like service accounts

One key per agent, with an IP allowlist and its own list of apps and methods. Enforced by Apideck at the proxy, so the rules hold even if the agent's server is compromised.

  • ✓ IP allowlist per key: a call from any other address is refused, even with a valid key
  • ✓ Allowed apps, methods and paths per key
  • ✓ Read-only keys

Pentest it with Aikido

Guardrails are only as good as the attacks they've faced. Aikido's AI pentesting attacks your agent the way an adversary would: injections through tool output, excessive agency, unsafe tool use and data leakage. Run it against agents built on openintegration before they reach production.

  • ✓ Aikido tests: prompt injection, tool abuse, leakage (OWASP Top 10 for agents)
  • ✓ openintegration enforces: tokens, hosts, specs, scopes, approvals, screening
  • ✓ Findings map to a guardrail you can switch on

Webhooks can't start an attack

An event that starts an agent run is an entry point, so every delivery is checked first: signed, small, fresh, seen once, of a type you allow, and within a run budget. Payloads carry ids, not content; the agent reads the record from the app itself.

  • ✓ Forged or oversized deliveries are refused
  • ✓ Replays and duplicates are ignored
  • ✓ Floods hit a run budget and a per-record cooldown
  • ✓ Secrets rotate without dropped events
npm run e2e:webhooks
  unsigned delivery                 401
