Runtime governance and verifiable audit trails for AI agents
Advanced API
What is OpenBox?
OpenBox is an enterprise AI trust platform that governs agents at runtime. One SDK enforces identity, authorization and policy on every action, then produces cryptographic proof and audit records for compliance teams.
OpenBox is a trust and governance platform built for organizations that run AI agents in production. Its core idea is that every action an agent takes should be checked while it happens, not only reviewed before deployment or audited afterward. The platform enforces identity, authorization, policy and risk rules at runtime, across individual agent steps and across interactions between systems. Integration is handled through a single SDK that wraps an existing agent. The homepage describes a three-step setup: generate an API key, install the SDK, then configure governance rules. A Python example shows an OpenBox plugin added to a Temporal worker, and quickstarts are listed for Temporal, Mastra, n8n, LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI, Cursor, Deep Agents, OpenClaw and CopilotKit. The workflow engine stays the system of record, so teams are not asked to redesign their architecture. Operations follow a five-phase trust lifecycle. Assess baselines risk across 14 parameters and assigns a Trust Tier from 1 to 4. Authorize layers guardrails, OPA policies and behavioral rules. Monitor covers runtime visibility, drift, cost and latency. Verify checks goal alignment and issues tamper-proof Proof Certificates. Adapt brings in human-in-the-loop approvals and policy suggestions drawn from observed patterns. Coverage also extends to coding agents, whose changes are checked inline and recorded in a ledger so the exact version stays traceable. The product suits platform engineering, security, risk and compliance teams in enterprises that already have agents running on common orchestration frameworks. Distinguishing features include cryptographic verifiability, decentralized identity for agents, protocol-aware runtime governance, a modular architecture and agent lineage. It is positioned as managed and vendor-neutral, running on any cloud. Compared with point tools that watch a single stage, such as prompt filters or post-hoc log review, OpenBox aims to cover development, execution and monitoring together. Teams wanting a lightweight, no-code content filter will find it heavier than they need, since the value lies in policy design and lifecycle governance.
How do you use OpenBox?
1Create an account
Register on the OpenBox platform to get access to the dashboard where agents, policies and trust tiers are managed.
2Generate an API key
Create an OpenBox API key inside the platform. It is paired with the OpenBox URL as environment variables the SDK reads.3Pick your framework quickstart
Open the getting-started guide for your agent stack, such as Temporal, LangGraph or CrewAI, and install the SDK following it.
4Assess risk and set policies
Baseline the agent's risk to receive a Trust Tier, then configure guardrails, OPA policies and behavioral rules for authorization.
5Monitor and verify runs
Watch runtime visibility, drift, cost and latency, and review Proof Certificates and human approvals to refine policies over time.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Checks agent actions at runtime across development, execution and monitoring rather than at a single pointAI
- One SDK wraps existing agents with no architectural changes, and the workflow engine stays the system of recordAI
- Quickstarts exist for ten agent stacks including Temporal, LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI and n8nAI
- Tamper-proof Proof Certificates and a ledger give auditors verifiable evidence of what agents didAI
- Self-serve signup is offered alongside a demo option, and the homepage states no usage limits and no credit cardAI
Cons
- Value depends on writing and tuning governance rules, which takes real policy and security expertiseAI
- The listed integrations cover specific frameworks, so teams on other agent stacks may lack a ready quickstartAI
- Homepage gives little detail on which regulations are covered, so compliance fit needs separate verificationAI
- Heavy enterprise focus makes it more than small teams or hobby projects likely needAI
