MantisBox is an autonomy governance layer that classifies, gates, and audits every tool call your AI agent makes. Stay in control without sacrificing capability.
Built for the AI agent ecosystem
AI agents can execute code, delete files, send emails, and access sensitive data. Once you give them tools, you lose visibility and control.
agent.execute("rm -rf /") Unchecked MantisBox intercepts every tool call, classifies the risk, and gates dangerous actions. You approve what matters, while safe actions flow through.
🦗 Blocked: destructive action Protected A complete governance layer that gives you control without limiting your agent's capabilities.
Automatically categorizes every action as read-only, reversible, destructive, or privileged based on intelligent pattern matching.
Risky actions wait for your approval. Safe actions flow through instantly. You set the thresholds.
Every tool call is logged with full context. Know exactly what your agent did, when, and why.
One command halts all agent execution instantly. Resume when you're ready. Peace of mind built in.
Pattern-based rules let you always allow, always block, or require approval for specific tools and parameters.
Real-time web UI for approving actions, monitoring status, and reviewing audit logs from anywhere.
A simple but powerful pipeline that sits between your agent and its tools.
MantisBox hooks into the tool execution pipeline. Every call passes through.
The action is analyzed and classified by risk level based on tool, parameters, and patterns.
Based on your autonomy mode, the action is allowed, blocked, or held for approval.
Approved actions proceed. Everything is logged to the audit trail.
Four modes to match your comfort level. Adjust anytime.
Log everything, execute nothing. Perfect for understanding what your agent wants to do.
Every action requires approval. Full control over each decision.
Safe actions auto-approve. Risky actions wait. The balanced default.
Everything executes. Logging only. For when you trust your setup completely.
