01
Identifies the agent and action
A scoped agent key ties the request to a named agent. The check includes the tool, action, environment, session, input, and other context your integration provides.
Pre-action permissions
Decide what an AI agent may do before it acts.
VibeLint evaluates a structured tool call against agent identity, policy rules, risk context, and approval requirements, then returns allow, block, or require-approval before sensitive work runs.

What it does
How agent control works
Agent control governs the action around the model. Your runtime asks VibeLint for a decision before it calls a tool, changes data, writes a file, sends a message, moves money, or affects production.
02
Evaluates policy and risk
VibeLint matches tool and action patterns, evaluates conditions, and scores factors such as production targets, destructive verbs, blast radius, money movement, rollback availability, and action history.
03
Allows, blocks, or pauses
Safe work can continue, dangerous work can stop, and sensitive work can wait for a human approval. Observe, enforce, and strict modes let teams introduce control deliberately.
Example: an automation requests a refund
Put a human decision at the moment of risk
Before calling the payment provider, the agent asks VibeLint whether it may refund a charge. The amount and production context match an approval rule, so execution pauses.

Example use cases
Where agent control fits
External communication
Approve messages before they are sent
Place a check before an agent emails a customer, posts publicly, or sends a high-impact notification.
Safe drafts keep moving; sensitive sends wait for review.
Workflow automation
Control n8n, Zapier, and custom agents
Add an HTTP permission step before CRM updates, bookings, job triggers, payment actions, or other SaaS calls.
Use one policy pattern across different agent builders.
Production operations
Block or gate high-impact changes
Require approval for database migrations, auth changes, destructive shell commands, releases, or production writes.
Keep broad agent autonomy away from irreversible actions.
The integration is part of the security boundary
VibeLint can make and record a permission decision, but the agent runtime must call the check before execution and honor the response. If an agent still holds the real provider credential and can bypass that integration, VibeLint is not an unbypassable execution gateway.
One connected security loop
Connect agent control to the rest of VibeLint.
Code checks, permission decisions, approvals, and action evidence work best together—before, during, and after an agent action.
