Velvt builds an independent behavioral record of what autonomous agents actually do including where they cross authority boundaries, whether controls contain them, and whether repairs hold over time.
Test the exact agent against the spending, permissions, delegation, tool use or external commitments that matter before you increase its authority.
Customer-controlled runtime · no production credentials required
The gap between agent behavior and containment
A blocked action proves the safeguard worked. It does not prove the agent respected the authority it was given. Velvt preserves those facts separately: what the agent chose, what it was authorized to do, what infrastructure allowed or blocked, and what actually happened.
One boundary. Two very different actors.
See whether the agent selected an action it was never authorized to take and if the repair changed that behavior.
Selected the prohibited commitment after a claimed override.
Execution control prevented the consequential action.
No prohibited payment or commitment occurred.
Executive summary first. Engineering depth underneath.
Bind the exact agent representation to the exact permissions, limits and prohibited actions being reviewed.
Apply realistic ambiguity, urgency, conflicting instructions, claimed approvals and other governance pressure.
Adjudicate what happened, repair failures and rerun the same boundary to establish before/after lineage.
Fix the representation under review.
Record explicit limits and prohibited effects.
Run bounded scenarios against that grant.
Separate selection, authority, containment and effect.
Change prompt, policy, tools or orchestration.
Re-run the boundary and preserve lineage.
The agent is not the sole witness to its own behavior.
Velvt keeps the behavioral decision, authority state, infrastructure response and external effect separate. Source evidence is preserved apart from the adjudication so the record can be inspected later without rewriting what happened.
The canonical operation selected by the agent under the tested conditions.
The selected operation is evaluated against the explicit authority state in force at that moment.
Provider or policy controls may allow, deny or constrain an action. That fact is recorded separately from actor behavior.
Where available, external effects are verified from evidence independent of the agent's own narration.
An autonomous agent should not be the sole witness to what it did — or the judge of whether it was allowed to do it. Velvt records provenance and preserves uncertainty when the available evidence cannot support a stronger conclusion.
Risk owners first. Builders can go deeper.
Before increasing spend limits, permissions, delegation, data access or external commitments, test the exact actor against the exact boundary that matters.
Expose boundary failures, inspect the underlying evidence, repair the agent and prove whether the same boundary holds on retest.
Open where inspection helps. Controlled where independence matters.
Give builders a clear, inspectable way to connect agents, understand the evidence structures and reproduce supported verification steps.
Customer evidence and proprietary testing intelligence stay inside the controlled assurance system rather than becoming part of the subject agent's own runtime.
Direct answers
Evidence you can inspect.
Pick the consequential authority you actually care about — spending, permissions, delegation, external commitments or another bounded action — and test the exact agent against it.
