Building the guard and trust layer for agentic AI

Agentic AI needs what the web got with TLS: a way to know who is calling you, what they sent, and whether to trust it.

CapiscIO provides that layer for the A2A protocol today and is built to extend to other agent standards.

Our Mission

Protocol Aligned Enforcement

Enforce the A2A protocol as it was designed to be used. Validate agent cards and traffic against the Google and Linux Foundation spec so agents speak a common, safe language.

Agent Identity

Verify which agent sent the request using Ed25519 signed envelopes. Not user login—machine-to-machine caller authenticity, checked cryptographically.

Runtime Protection

Secure production agents with always-on guards and sidecars. Enforce agent identity, payload integrity, and replay protection on every call so malicious or broken traffic is blocked in real time.

Developer First Tools

Give developers what they actually use: a free CLI, open source guard SDK, Go core, and clear docs. Built by developers, for developers, to fit into real CI and runtime environments.

The Future We're Building Toward

In the next few years, we are working toward a world where:

Every AI agent has a verified, trustworthy agent identity that can be enforced at the protocol boundary

Developers can integrate agents with confidence, with guards and traces instead of guesswork

Security is built in, not bolted on, from agent card to runtime traffic

The agentic AI ecosystem is as reliable as the web, with shared protocols and shared trust signals

To get there, we are building from local guards and CLIs today toward a registry and governance layer co-designed with early partners.

Open Source First

We believe trust infrastructure should be transparent, auditable, and community-driven.
