Why AI agents need a safety layer
As AI agents move from chat to real actions in your systems, the cost of a mistake is no longer a hallucinated answer. It is money moved, data deleted, or private information exposed. FriskAI gives you a control plane that decides what agents are allowed to do, every time they call a tool.
Three ways FriskAI protects your agents
FriskAI sits between your agents and their tools. It evaluates every action against deterministic policies so you can ship automation without losing control.
Permission your agents like employees
Limit what agents can do based on who the user is, where they are in the workflow, and the surrounding business data.
- Support agent refunds a transaction without a valid ticket or customer verification.
- Agent accesses records for the wrong customer because it misinterprets a query.
- Policies that check things like ticket_status, account ownership, and KYC state before allowing refund or data access tools.
- Different permission levels for customers, support reps, and admins, enforced automatically at tool call time.
Intercept risky actions before execution
Put hard guardrails in front of destructive or high-value actions. Decide which tools an agent can call, with what arguments, and when a human must be involved.
- Agent accidentally deletes production resources or critical data.
- Agent initiates a large fund transfer with the wrong amount or destination.
- Deterministic policies that block high-stakes actions by default unless preconditions are satisfied.
- Automatic routing of sensitive actions to a human approval workflow with full context of the agent request.
Audit the decision, not just the output
Replace black-box behavior with a full timeline of what your agents tried to do and why FriskAI allowed or blocked it, to satisfy internal reviews and external audits.
- Inability to explain to auditors why an agent read or changed specific data.
- No reliable record of which policies were in effect when an incident occurred.
- Logs that link each agent tool call to policy evaluation and tool execution.
- Searchable history that lets security and compliance teams answer who, what, when, and why in seconds.
Where teams use FriskAI today
FriskAI is designed for any team building agents that touch real systems and data. These are the common patterns where customers plug in our safety layer for control and visibility.
Finance & Revenue Ops Agents
Agents manage invoices, process payroll, and execute bank transfers. FriskAI ensures these high-stakes agents strictly adhere to fiscal policies, preventing unauthorized spending or data exposure before the transaction executes.
- Enforce hard limits on transaction values (e.g., "Auto-reject any transfer over $5,000") and/or require human approvals for exceptions.
- Redact sensitive PII dynamically from logs and agent context to ensure compliance with data privacy standards during execution.
Customer Support & Refund Agents
Agents modify orders, issue refunds, and manage subscriptions. FriskAI stops these agents from hallucinating policies or being socially engineered into giving away free money, ensuring excellent service doesn't become a business loss.
- Cap daily refund totals per agent or per customer to prevent abuse or runaway automated decisions.
- Block "promise-making" actions where an agent attempts to offer credits or terms that don't exist in the approved policy database.
DevOps & Infrastructure Agents
Agents run SQL queries, configure cloud resources, and manage deployments. FriskAI acts as the guardrail between your autonomous engineer and your production environment, intercepting destructive commands while allowing routine read-operations.
- Prevent destructive queries (like DROP TABLE or DELETE) from ever reaching the database, regardless of the agent's intent.
- Gate production deployments by triggering a mandatory human-in-the-loop review for any configuration change affecting live environments.
Sales & SDR Agents
Agents send cold outreach, update CRMs, and negotiate scheduling. FriskAI ensures campaign briefs are executed accurately, keeping outbound communications aligned with approved sources and preventing agents from sending incorrect pricing or off-brand messages.
- Intercept pricing hallucinations by mandating reference to an approved price book before the email is sent.
- Rate-limit outreach to prevent an agent loop from accidentally spamming a prospect with hundreds of emails in minutes.
Claims & Care Coordination Agents
Agents process patient intake, authorize coverage, and summarize clinical notes. FriskAI allows healthcare providers to use LLMs on sensitive data by enforcing strict HIPAA controls and preventing clinical hallucinations from entering the patient record.
- Safeguard PHI by limited access to instances where the agent request matches patient, role and consent policies.
- Gate adverse decisions (like coverage denials) behind a mandatory human clinician review, ensuring AI never rejects a patient autonomously.
Information Security & Compliance Agents
Agents manage user access, enforce data policies, and generate audit reports. FriskAI facilitates your autonomous systems to satisfy the strictest compliance standards (SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA) by enforcing your data processing policies in real-time.
- Prevent privilege escalation by strictly blocking agents from granting themselves or others admin-level permissions without a human-in-the-loop approval.
- Prove regulatory adherence with immutable decision logs that show auditors and regulators exactly why an action was allowed or blocked, replacing black-box guessing with forensic proof.
