What it is

Context management for AI agents.

Where it fits

Part of Protect identities, keys & data: Who the agent is, what it may touch, and what it must never leak. Every CAIN-42 product runs behind the same rule: an AI agent's action is checked before it runs (identity, authority, policy, risk), decided as allow, hold for a human, or block, and recorded as signed evidence. Unknown or error never becomes allow.

Fire a real decision

Send an action through the live CAIN-42 pipeline from this page, with no account, and watch every stage decide. This is the same pipeline every product here sits behind; it runs for a throwaway demo tenant and is rate limited.

For AI engineers

Every product sits behind one decision path: your agent proposes an action with the exact arguments, CAIN runs it through identity, authority, policy, risk, trust and quorum consensus, and answers ALLOW, REQUIRE_APPROVAL or DENY with an Ed25519-signed record. A timeout, outage or unknown verdict never becomes ALLOW. A brand-new agent has no trust history, so its first actions usually come back REQUIRE_APPROVAL.

    ...  # runs only if CAIN allows this call, with these arguments

Tested guarantees in this area

Every rule in these niches has its own page with its recorded result.

• Memory, data & privacy: 92 tested invariants — What agents remember and what must never leak.
• Identity, authority & delegation: 964 tested invariants — Who an agent is, what it may do, and who allowed it.

Related

• CAIN Identity — Gives every agent and person a verifiable identity, so CAIN always knows who is acting.
• CAIN Memory — Long-term memory for agents that cannot be poisoned or quietly rewritten.
• CAIN Private — A private space for your agents with governed memory, tools and MCP connections.
• Credential broker — Agents use your API keys without ever seeing them, so a hijacked agent cannot steal them.
• LeakGuard — Stops passwords, keys and personal data from leaving in text sent to an AI tool.
