Teams discover Sanctum when they need to prove one real agent action is controlled before launch.

AI agent safety pilot for startup teams: what teams should know

Open console.sanctumruntime.com, connect one agent with @sanctum-runtime/sdk, and gate one real action today. No sales call required for the first approval workflow.

Does Sanctum replace my model provider or gateway?

No. Sanctum sits at the action boundary — approve, verify, or block tool side effects — alongside OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, or gateway vendors.

Key takeaways

  • Execution gates beat post-hoc monitoring when agents can spend, email, or touch prod.
  • Open-core SDK + hosted console fits founders and enterprise pilots alike.
  • Mobile PWA approval removes the need to build operator apps.

Implementation checklist

  1. Sign in at console.sanctumruntime.com.
  2. Agents → create agent → Shield Rule on your riskiest action.
  3. Trigger once → approve on Overview → export Audit sample.
