Why RimSift

Approved is not the same as safe.

Most security tools decide whether an AI agent may connect, then stop watching. These are the eight gaps that leaves, and how RimSift closes each one.

Eight gaps, four checks

GAP 01

Nobody watching the agent

Agents are approved once, then act with no one checking each call.

GAP 02

Tools that change after approval

A tool's description is quietly rewritten after you approve it, and the agent follows the new version.

GAP 03

Hidden instructions

Text inside a document, web page or tool result tells the agent what to do.

GAP 04

Harmless steps, harmful total

Each action looks fine alone; together they move data where it shouldn't go.

GAP 05

Human or agent?

Logs show a shared service account, so no one can tell who really did what.

Shadow AI

Staff paste company data into AI tools nobody approved, and nothing is recorded.

Data walking out

Customer data, credentials and secrets leave inside a prompt or tool call.

No proof for auditors

When asked what the AI did and why, there's no answer.

The approach

Check every call, not just the connection.

RimSift is a single control point between your AI and the tools it uses. Four checks run on every call: identity, governance, inspection and audit.
