Runtime authority control for AI agents

Revoke AI agent authority instantly.

AXIOM gives agentic AI systems a verifiable control layer: bonded tokens, signed state registers, append-only audit trails, and runtime gates that block unauthorized agent actions before execution.

No key rotationRevoke authority without reissuing signing keys.
Same tokenThe primary token bytes remain unchanged.
Runtime blockThe next gated request is denied.

Agents need more than API keys.

AI agents can read files, call tools, trigger workflows, and touch live systems. The hard question is not only who authorized them yesterday. It is what they are still allowed to do right now.

Trust changes mid-stream

An agent may be valid at mint time, then later become unsafe, compromised, outdated, or out of scope.

🔐

Key rotation is heavy

Rotating keys and rebuilding tokens can be slow, disruptive, and brittle across distributed systems.

🧾

Compliance needs receipts

Teams need a signed, reproducible trail showing what was checked, when it changed, and why it was blocked.

Same packet. Same token. Different authority state.

AXIOM’s bonded paired-token primitive separates signed token identity from live authority state. Revocation becomes a signed register transition, not a full credential rebuild.

Before revocation

Pair is ACTIVE_VALIDATED

The packet passes the intent classifier and the authority register confirms the pair is still valid.

packet: pkt-demo-001 intent_class: INFORM blocked: no signals: none
After revocation

Pair is REVOKED

The packet content is unchanged, but the runtime gate blocks it because authority has been revoked.

packet: pkt-demo-001 intent_class: HARM blocked: yes signals: bonded_pair_revoked

Governance that executes.

AXIOM is a control language and runtime layer for agents. It turns policy from a suggestion into something parseable, enforceable, signed, and testable.

Bonded paired-token authority
Primary and mirror tokens create a revocable trust relationship for agent actions.
Append-only state ledger
Authority transitions are signed and hash-chained for tamper evidence.
Runtime guard stack
Gates check agent state before actions reach tools, APIs, or model runtime.
Signed audit manifests
Every decision can produce a reproducible receipt for security and compliance review.

Built for teams deploying real agents.

Start with one workflow. Add authority gating. Prove revocation. Then expand into broader agent firewall, governance, audit, and compliance control.

Research & regulated AI

Control which agents can access sensitive workflows, and prove when authority changed.

Test the kill switch layer.

Run a small proof-of-concept around one AI agent workflow: mint authority, gate actions, revoke the pair, and generate a signed audit report.
