Astrix agent identity review
Discovering agents, owners and connected secrets
Agent discovery 9.0 / Per-action policy 6.0 / Agent credentials 8.0
General purpose score 6.18
Where it falls short
- Provisioning policy is not the same as per-action interception.
- Post-acquisition integration and standalone packaging need confirmation.
Documented strengths
- Agent Control Plane records ownership and identity attestation.
- AI agent discovery inventories agents, MCP servers, secrets, permissions and owners.
- Short-lived, scoped credentials and just-in-time access are described for agent provisioning.
