Use case: Govern AI agents
Know who every agent acts for.
AI agents now book and buy for people. Know Your Agent detects them on your site and APIs, enforces what each may do, and ties every action to the verified person who authorized it.
The problem
Agents look like users. Until they don’t.
Agent traffic is growing fast, and most systems can’t tell a helpful agent from a scraper, or know who either is acting for.

How it works
Detect, enforce, govern.
Three steps, from seeing agents to trusting the right ones.
- 1
Detect
Classify every session as human, AI agent, bot or incomplete, with a confidence score. Free.
- 2
Enforce
Write policy in plain language: allow, challenge, block or redirect, at your gateway or in your app.
- 3
Govern
Agents present a delegation from a verified person, with scopes and limits, proven on every request.
- 4
Audit
Every agent action is logged against the person who authorized it.
Compared
How agent controls hold up.
Blocking every bot loses good agents; allowing every bot lets in the rest.

Straight answers about how Vouched helps you govern AI agents.
Contact us with a questionWhat does it mean to govern AI agents?
Seeing which agents reach your site and APIs, deciding what each may do, and tying every action to the verified person who authorized it.
How does Vouched detect AI agents?
Know Your Agent classifies every session as human, AI agent, bot or incomplete, with a confidence score from 0 to 100. Detection is free.
Can we allow some agents and block others?
Yes. You write policy in plain language, and each request gets an allow, challenge, block or redirect verdict, at your gateway or in your application.
How is an agent tied to a person?
The agent presents a delegation from a verified person, with scopes and limits, and proves it on every request.
Why not just block all bots?
Because helpful agents now act for real customers. Blocking them all loses business; letting them all in invites abuse.
How fast is agent traffic growing?
AI agent traffic grew 2.4 times in 30 days across Know Your Agent: Detect customers, according to June 2026 detection data.
Is every agent action auditable?
Yes. Every action is logged against the person who authorized it.
How do we get started?
Start with free detection in a few lines of code, then add enforcement and governance where you need them.
