Developers

Integrate runtime authorization in minutes.

Create a sandbox account, register an Agent, issue an Agent-bound runtime credential, call the evaluate API, and inspect signed decision evidence.

Integration pattern

Call BobSentry at the tool or action boundary before the consequential operation. BobSentry returns ALLOW, REQUIRE_APPROVAL, or BLOCK. In COOPERATIVE mode, the integration must honor that decision.

Runtime Evaluate API

POST https://runtime.bobsentry.com/v1/runtime/evaluate with normalized action metadata. Deterministic policies return ALLOW, REQUIRE_APPROVAL, or BLOCK. Use an Agent-bound evaluate-only credential.

LIVE API EXAMPLEcurl
curl -X POST https://runtime.bobsentry.com/v1/runtime/evaluate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BOBSENTRY_AGENT_CREDENTIAL" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "action": "deploy_production",
    "metadata": {
      "environment": "production",
      "target": "github-deploy-workflow"
    }
  }'

Integration modes

Customer-facing modes today are COOPERATIVE and OBSERVE. There is no customer-selectable ENFORCED mode.

COOPERATIVE

The integration calls BobSentry before the consequential operation and is responsible for honoring the authorization decision.

OBSERVE

BobSentry evaluates and records what policy would decide, but does not control downstream execution.

Signed authorization evidence is the deliverable, not a side effect.

Every recorded runtime decision produces signed authorization evidence—what was requested, which policy applied, the decision returned, and whether human authorization was required. Evidence records who authorized (when applicable) and when. Execution outcomes are recorded separately from authorization. Sample fields below are illustrative—not production identifiers.

Decision evidence fields

  • agent identity
  • requested action (action hash)
  • policy evaluation (policy id / version)
  • decision outcome
  • authorization required (yes / no)
  • authorized by (when applicable)
  • timestamp
  • cryptographic integrity (signature)
  • correlation_id
