What is a runtime trust layer for AI agents?
Why execution-time verification beats chat guardrails for agents, robots, and workflows — and how Sanctum gates actions before they run.

Approve, verify, or block tool calls, API writes, and file operations with a single verifyAction() — patterns for LangChain, MCP, and custom agents.
Embodied AI and robotics: policy gates for physical actions
Humanoids, ROS2, smart home, and industrial systems need the same trust boundary — intercept unlock_door, move_robot, and emergency_stop before motors run.
