We’ve invented the definitive architecture to safely enable agents at scale. Capability Machine provides the foundation for the agentic enterprise, combining the mathematical capability security of our patent pending ‘Handles’ with formal knowledge graphs to safely scale autonomous workflows.
A formal, ontology-backed capability technology that mechanically governs non-deterministic AI agents.
To support this endeavour, we have recently filed our first patent supporting this (UK IPO) with the support of Boult Wade Tennant.
01 / ENABLEMENT
Unleash Autonomous Capabilities
Empower agents to learn, adapt, and self-discover capabilities safely in real-world enterprise environments.
Governed agents for any task, on demand.
Move beyond static prompt tuning. Driven by a Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) architecture, Capability Machine Agents actively accumulate verified knowledge over time. They automatically turn execution traces and history into structural improvements for the next run, learning from their environment to optimize tool selection and reasoning.
BDI ARCHITECTURE & REASONING
Zero-config registry for MCPs, skills, and plugins.
Distribute the best capabilities to every agent instantly. Because tools in Capability Machine are packaged as self-describing Handles, agents can dynamically discover and understand how to use them at runtime via built-in metadata. Publish approved connectors and skills in one governed registry with clear ownership, dependencies, and access rules.
SELF-DESCRIBING HANDLES
Making approved MCP access the default.
We replace probabilistic API gateways and exposed credentials with dynamically attenuated Handles.
Make MCP access structurally secure for Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and custom agents, backed by Secure Production Identity Framework for Everyone (SPIFFE) and a cryptographic audit trail for every request.

02 / CONTROL
Governance by Design
Replace probabilistic scanners with mathematical immunity, complete shadow visibility, and unforgeable compliance.
Discover and control shadow AI on devices.
Discover unmanaged MCPs, skills, plugins, or agents across your environment. Using our ‘Sidecar’ pattern, you can seamlessly wrap legacy systems or shadow AI, instantly bringing them onto the governed mesh and under strict capability control without rewriting their code.
A Formal Immune System for AI behavior
Move beyond probabilistic scanners and “polite” text-based guardrails. Sentinel enforces strict structural constraints directly via the Knowledge Graph. By ensuring all agent outputs conform to your domain’s ontology, hallucinated commands or unauthorized privilege escalations are structurally rejected before they ever reach your company systems.
Tie agent requests to identity, policy, and audit.
We encode your business rules, budgets, and compliance limits directly into the Knowledge Graph as queryable “Directive Artifacts”. Access is managed through isolated execution “Spaces”, ensuring every agent request is tied to an actor, delegated user, and policy decision before it reaches a tool.

See usage, spend, and audit across all AI work.
See usage, adoption, and cost across all users, tools, and workflows. With Capability Machine, compliance is an emergent property of the system: every capability grant, command, and execution trace is cryptographically signed, sequenced, and replayable, guaranteeing a continuous, unforgeable audit history.

The market is flooded with vendors selling the raw intelligence of foundation models. But the real opportunity lies in the implementation layer: getting an autonomous agent to reliably complete an entire workflow from end-to-end at enterprise scale.
Frontier labs, massive consultancies, and SaaS giants are all converging on agentic workflows. However, they are building this new era on a foundation of vendor-locked, capability-free vertical silos. If you rely on system prompts, IAM roles, or API gateways to secure your agents, you are structurally exposed. Every agent security vulnerability lives in the gap between your broad credentials and your probabilistic policies.
Capability Machine provides the universal substrate to solve this. We do not compete with the LLMs, we provide the mathematically secure implementation layer that agents must reach through to act on your world. By adopting Capability Machine, you stop integrating silos and start operating a unified, secure universe.
You cannot secure autonomous agents by simply asking them to behave. Capability Machine introduces the Handle: a universal resource interface where the object itself is the security boundary.
Through mathematical capability attenuation, the Handle an agent holds physically lacks the methods to execute unauthorised commands. Privilege escalation and prompt injection are not just caught by a scanner, they are structurally impossible.
The disproportionate value in agentic AI comes from sitting closer to your specific business objects. With Capability Machine, you do not need to wait for a vendor to write an integration for your legacy systems. Using our ‘sidecar pattern’, you can wrap your existing on-premise systems; from core banking to industrial SCADA, and re-project them as capability-secure Handles on your mesh. You retain absolute control over your proprietary data.
Global regulators enforcing DORA and the EU AI Act are making cryptographic proof of who authorised an action and on what authority the de facto way forward. Although not yet full enforced, it’s likely to come to pass.
Traditional application logs are forgeable and insufficient. With Capability Machine, compliance is not a bolted-on logging pipeline. Every single action taken across the mesh produces a cryptographically signed, sequenced, and replayable fact.The operational mesh itself is your unforgeable audit trail.
