Controls & governance

Controls for AI agents that act in your systems

In Konnectify, an AI agent can only use the tools you add, can't change the fields you pin, pauses when it reaches its spend limit, and waits for a person wherever you require approval. Every step it takes, and why, is recorded in the Event Logs.

An instruction asks. A control decides.

You can tell an AI agent “never refund more than $500” in its instructions, and most of the time it will listen. A control is different: the refund tool won't run above $500 without a person's approval, whatever the agent decides. Konnectify uses instructions for judgement and controls for limits.

The tool waits for a person.

1Before a run

Decide what each agent may touch

  • Choose the level for each job

    Run it as a fixed Workflow, an AI workflow with one AI step, or an AI agent. Use the least AI the job needs.

  • Add only the tools it needs

    An agent can call only the actions you add. If “delete” isn't in its toolbox, it can't delete.

  • Pin fields

    Set values the agent can't change, such as the Jira project, the Okta department or the Zendesk group.

  • Set allowed values

    Limit the choices on a field, such as the ticket priorities an agent can set or the plans a customer can move to.

  • Write the rules down

    Instructions say what the agent must and must not do, and when to hand over to a person.

  • Test on sample data

    Run the agent on test records before it goes live.

2During a run

Stop and ask when it matters

  1. Approval at any level

    Require a person's approval before any step, in a Workflow, an AI workflow or an agent.

  2. Approval by value

    Ask only when it matters, such as refunds over an amount or downgrades above a limit.

  3. Where your team works

    Approval requests arrive in Slack or Microsoft Teams. The run waits up to 7 days for a decision.

  4. Handover to a person

    When an agent isn't sure, it passes the job to your team with a summary instead of guessing.

  5. Run and spend limits

    Each agent has limits on how many times it runs and how much it spends. When it reaches one, the agent pauses and your admin is alerted.

3After a run

See what happened and why

  • Event Logs

    Every run is recorded: the trigger, each step, what changed in each system and who approved it.

  • The agent's reasoning

    For each step, see why the agent chose it.

  • Retries and alerts

    Failed steps retry 3 times. If a step still fails, an error workflow can alert your team.

  • Retention

    Logs are kept for 30, 60 or 90 days depending on your plan, and about 6 months on Enterprise.

Who can see and change what

  • Single sign-on on every plan

    Your team signs in with your identity provider.

  • Roles

    Users build and see their own agents and workflows. Admins see and manage everything in the account.

  • Your data stays yours

    Konnectify doesn't use your data to train AI models.

When Claude or ChatGPT uses your apps

An MCP server you build in Konnectify gives Claude or ChatGPT only the tools you add. Connections use OAuth 2.0, and every tool call is recorded in the activity log.

It's the set of controls that decide what an AI agent can do in your systems, when it must ask a person, and how you check what it did afterwards. In Konnectify, that means scoped tools, pinned fields, allowed values, approvals, run and spend limits, and Event Logs.
