Geordie finds your agents. OpenBox proves what they did.
Geordie is genuinely strong at discovery but visibility is not governance. OpenBox is in the execution path at every stage: it governs AI-assisted coding in the IDE, gates every diff in CI/CD, enforces every tool call in production, and cryptographically proves the whole chain. One SDK, keystroke to production.
Finding an agent is not the same as governing it.
Discovery tells you what exists. Governance proves every action was authorized, enforced, and attested — from the first keystroke in the IDE to production.
40%
of enterprise apps will embed AI agents by end of 2026. Inventorying them is step one. Governing and proving them is the legal obligation.
Aug'26
EU AI Act high-risk provisions become enforceable — demanding cryptographically verifiable audit trails, enforced controls, and human oversight. Weeks away, not years.
<250ms
OpenBox enforces identity, authorization, and policy at execution time — every verdict rendered before the action takes effect, not flagged after.
Same space, different jobs
An honest look at what each platform is built for — including where Geordie is genuinely strong — and why the difference comes down to enforcement and evidence.
RUNTIME GOVERNANCE
Enforces policy before agent actions take effect. Identity, authorization, Trust Tier risk scoring (OWASP AIVSS-aligned), and behavioral rules — checked at the individual tool call, not after.
Cryptographic attestation of every tool call, prompt, input, and output. Signed Merkle tree → Proof Certificate. Immutable, regulator-ready, timestamp-backed.
Dynamic Trust Scoring adapts in real time. Verdicts: ALLOW · REQUIRE_APPROVAL · BLOCK · HALT. High-risk operations pause for human approval before execution.
Shift-left governance from the IDE. Sensitive data scanning, secrets detection in AI-generated code, and signed editor events tied to the developer's IdP identity — evidence, not claims.
Single SDK, no architectural changes. Works with LangGraph, Temporal, Mastra, n8n, LangChain, and Cursor. WHO acted · MAY it act · DID it act · ACT was mandate-gated — one verify command.
DISCOVERY & GUARDRAILS
Scans code repos, cloud APIs, and endpoints to discover agents in your environment — providing an inventory of what is running.
Pulls configuration and toolsets from discovered agents, with continuous behavioral risk scoring against the discovered inventory.
Endpoint coverage detects coding agents on developer devices — supporting pro-code, SaaS, and low/no-code agents, including Cursor and Windsurf.
In-line guardrails (Beam) apply context engineering within the agent’s reasoning — shaping behavior in real time, including data exfiltration prevention.
No cryptographic attestation or Trust Stack. Blocks and alerts route to Splunk, Jira, or Teams as webhooks — not as signed, tamper-evident evidence auditors and regulators require. Discovery is the starting point, not the proof.

One governed pipeline, keystroke to production
Point tools watch agents from the outside. OpenBox sits inside the execution path at every stage of the agent lifecycle — and the Trust Stack closes the loop with cryptographic proof.
STAGE 01 · DEVELOP
Governance starts in the IDE
A developer works side by side with an AI coding agent, and OpenBox governs the session in real time: sensitive data scanning, secrets detection in AI-generated code, and policy checks on every agent action. Each governed edit is signed under the developer’s IdP-backed identity at capture — evidence from the first keystroke, not claims.
STAGE 02 · SHIP
CI/CD gate & agent lineage
On push, the gate evaluates every diff against policy and runs red-teaming before deployment. OpenBox registers a lineage record — the agent’s decentralized identity (DID) paired with the exact code version, backed by signed build provenance. What runs in production always traces back to what was reviewed and approved.
STAGE 03 · RUN
Enforcement on every single call
Each tool call passes through Guardrails → Policies → Behavioral rules and receives a verdict: ALLOW · REQUIRE_APPROVAL · BLOCK · HALT. Trust Scores aligned with OWASP AIVSS tighten or relax controls in real time, and your IdP stays the control plane — a deprovisioned agent instantly loses access, enforced at the individual tool call.
STAGE 04 · PROVE
The Trust Stack
Every session is hashed into a signed Merkle tree → a Proof Certificate with a trusted timestamp. For consequential actions, KRNL-style attestation proves what the agent actually did, a deterministic mandate gates the irreversible step, and a single-use capability executes exactly what was attested. One verify command re-walks WHO · MAY · DID · ACT — and fails closed on any forged link.
Three architectural differences that matter
Not better or worse — different by design. Here is where those design choices lead.
01
In the path, not around it
Beam shapes agent behavior through context engineering inside the agent’s reasoning — influencing what the agent decides. OpenBox enforces deterministically in the execution path: every tool call receives a verdict before it takes effect. Context can be ignored by a compromised agent. A verdict cannot.
02
Signed, not just logged
Both platforms produce audit records. Only OpenBox signs them: every session hashed into a Merkle tree, sealed as a Proof Certificate with a trusted timestamp, re-verifiable with one command that fails closed on any forged link. A log says what happened. A signature proves nobody rewrote it.
03
Identity, not just behavior
OpenBox verifies who an agent is — a DID and signing key bound through lineage to the exact code version that shipped — and enforces what your IdP authorizes at each tool call. Behavioral monitoring watches what an agent does; it cannot prove identity, provenance, or authorization.
Govern. Prove. Gate. Verify.
