Summary

On July 16, 2026, Alterion launched Draco, a runtime control plane that observes every agent prompt, action, and payload in real time and applies programmable guardrails, blocking high-risk actions like data deletion or production changes, across clouds, vendors, and frameworks without requiring teams to modify agent code.

What changed

Alterion released Draco, powered by its Helix runtime intelligence layer. Draco monitors agent prompts, actions, and payloads in real time, models intent, and enforces policy before high-risk actions execute. It is an independent, code-change-free control layer, deployable inside customer VPCs, and infrastructure-agnostic across AI gateways, vendors, and frameworks.

Why it matters

As agents gain authority to take consequential actions, security and compliance teams need a single enforcement point independent of how each agent was built. A runtime control plane that requires no agent code changes lowers the barrier to governing heterogeneous agent fleets already running in production.

Evidence excerpt

Draco observes every prompt, action, and payload in real time, models agent behavior and intent, and applies programmable guardrails to enforce policy before agents perform high-risk actions such as data deletion and production changes, without requiring them to rebuild agent code.
