Welcome to Vortalis, the AI agent governance proxy. Here are the key concepts you need to understand:

  • Agents: AI agents or automated systems that connect through Vortalis to access external services. Each agent gets a unique identity and API token.
  • Services: external platforms (Gmail, Slack, Stripe, Salesforce, etc.) that your agents interact with. Vortalis proxies all requests through a governed layer.
  • Policies: YAML-based rules that define what each agent can do, including allowed actions, rate limits, tokenisation rules, and approval requirements.
  • Tokenisation: sensitive data (emails, phone numbers, financial details) is automatically replaced with tok_ tokens before reaching the agent. Agents can request to unwrap tokens through an approval flow.
