Use Cases
How Superagent protects AI agents from real-world failures.
Block malicious or unsafe tool use and privilege escalation
Agents with tool access may perform actions they should not. Guardrails inspect and block unauthorized tool calls based on defined policy.
Enforce strict action-policies for agents with write or delete capabilities
Agents that can create tickets, send emails, or modify accounts must not perform these actions outside authenticated, policy-approved contexts. Guardrails validate every action invocation.
Prevent agents from executing unauthorized API calls or tool actions
Agents can trigger internal APIs, internal batch jobs, or third-party integrations they were never meant to touch. Guardrails block calls outside approved patterns.
Prevent unauthorized multi-step action sequences
Even if each step is permitted, the sequence may not be. Guardrails evaluate the full plan, not isolated actions.
Stop agents from escalating privileges to bypass constraints
Agents can switch roles or states to unlock options they should not have. Guardrails catch privilege jumps.
Stop agents from generating harmful SQL or code mutations
Coding agents can propose insecure SQL, unsafe schema migrations, or destructive code edits. Tests simulate risky prompts and catch these patterns before customers see them.
