Advanced Controls

Two runtime authority models for governed agent workflows.

Attestify lets you choose how much friction governance adds to your agent's execution path. The zero-friction builder flow uses cached authority envelopes so most actions never touch the control plane at runtime. The high-assurance enterprise flow enforces a fresh policy check before every consequential action — adding intentional friction exactly where the risk is.

These controls are currently in private beta.The architecture described below reflects what's being built — existing Builder ($59/mo) and Team ($399/mo) plans will gain access when each feature activates on their tier. Express interest below to be notified first and shape the rollout.

Runtime authority models

Choose the right governance mode for your workflow.

Both flows use the same Control Plane policy configuration. The difference is how often the agent checks in at runtime — and how that shapes latency, assurance, and billing.

Builder & Team tiers

Zero-friction builder flow

Cached authority envelopes

Optimised for low latency and self-serve integration. Most actions proceed under a locally cached envelope — the control plane is only consulted when the envelope is exhausted or a high-risk action triggers a fresh check.

1

Builder sets limits once

Inside Control Plane, configure per-run, daily, and monthly spend limits, allowed models, and approval thresholds for an agent or tenant. This is a plan entitlement — not a billable event.

2

Agent requests an authority envelope

The SDK calls authorize(intent) with a batchable intent type, max spend, risk class, and expiry window. One call covers many downstream actions.

3

Attestify returns a signed envelope

Attestify verifies current policy, budget state, and thresholds then returns a short-lived signed envelope. The agent caches it locally for the defined window or action count.

4

Agent executes multiple actions without rechecking

Low-risk actions proceed under the cached envelope until the spend amount, action count, or time window is exhausted. No additional round-trips to Attestify.

5

Attestify logs evidence and usage

Every envelope issue, spend decrement, and expiry event is written into the evidence trail automatically. Billing and audit happen without agent involvement.

Agent friction

Low

Mostly invisible at runtime.

Auth pattern

Batch envelope

One check, many actions.

Billing

Per envelope

Builder & Team tiers.

Enterprise tier

High-assurance enterprise flow

Per-action live checks

Optimised for regulated workflows, finance operations, and compliance-sensitive agent actions. Every consequential step requests fresh authority — adding intentional friction precisely where the risk exists.

1

Team configures strict policies

Ops or finance defines lower per-run limits, vendor allowlists, model allowlists, approval thresholds, revocation rules, and policy versions in Control Plane.

2

Each high-stakes action requests fresh authority

The agent calls authorize(intent) for every payout, refund, settlement, or sensitive API mutation. Long-lived envelopes are disabled or scoped to a single action.

3

Policy, budget, and revocation checks run live

Attestify evaluates current spend, approval status, revocation epoch, and current policy version before issuing a scoped execution certificate for that action.

4

Out-of-policy actions escalate for human approval

If the action breaches amount, vendor, model, or timing rules the flow pauses. A human approver in Control Plane reviews and approves or rejects before execution continues.

5

Receipts become compliance evidence

Every decision includes policy version, approval trail, authority timestamp, and revocation state. Suitable for audit, dispute resolution, and regulated review.

Agent friction

Intentional

Only on risky actions.

Auth pattern

Per-action check

Fresh authority each time.

Billing

Platform + per-action

Builder vs enterprise — at a glance.

Same control plane configuration, two very different runtime contracts.

Pricing model

Charge when policies govern live activity — not when you set them.

Setting limits is free

Configuring per-run caps, daily limits, model allowlists, and approval thresholds in Control Plane is a plan entitlement. No charge for setup.

Governed actions are billed

Every time an agent calls authorize(intent) against a live policy — checking budget state, risk class, and thresholds — that is a billable governed action.

Approvals and compliance are premium

Multi-approver flows, signed delegation artifacts, policy history, revocation evidence, and audit exports are Team and Enterprise tier capabilities.

Indicative governed-action pricing by tier (private beta — subject to change):

Builder

100 governed actions/mo included free

$0.02 per action after

Envelope mode only

Team

500 governed actions/mo included

$0.015 per action after

Envelope + per-action mode · + monthly platform fee

Enterprise

Custom volume

Governed-action rate negotiated

Per-action + approvals + revocation + SLA add-ons

What this costs in practice

A procurement agent running 50 approval checks per day at ~$200 avg. intent value.

Monthly governed actions

~1,500

Team tier action fee

~$15.00/mo

Total incl. platform fee

well under $100/mo

Fully governed, auditable finance automation — with a complete policy trail, approval history, and on-chain receipts — for less than the cost of a single engineer-hour per month.

The rule

Don't charge when they set policies. Charge when those policies actually govern live agent activity.
