Runtime Access Control
Runtime access control is the practice of making and enforcing access decisions while a workload is executing, as opposed to at configuration, provisioning, or deployment time.
Why this matters for AI agents
Agent execution is inherently dynamic. The tools an agent will call, the parameters it will pass, and the tasks it will undertake cannot be fully enumerated before the agent runs.
How AgntID relates
AgntID is a runtime access control system for AI agents—it evaluates access decisions during agent execution, not before it.
The static IAM gap
Traditional access control is configuration-time. Static roles and permissions are assigned before execution. Runtime access control adds a dynamic layer that configuration-time tools cannot provide.

Frequently asked questions
What is runtime access control?
Runtime access control is the practice of making and enforcing access decisions while a workload is executing, as opposed to at configuration, provisioning, or deployment time.
Why does agent execution require runtime access control?
Agent execution is inherently dynamic. The tools an agent will call, the parameters it will pass, and the tasks it will undertake cannot be fully enumerated before the agent runs.
How does AgntID implement runtime access control?
AgntID is a runtime access control system for AI agents. It evaluates access decisions during agent execution—at the tool-call boundary—not before it.
Secure every agent tool call at execution time.
AgntID gives infrastructure teams scoped, ephemeral access control for AI agents without replacing IAM, MCP servers, tools, or agent frameworks.
