Architecture

Enforcement below the application layer.

Altrace sits inline as an in-pod proxy between your AI agents and their tools or model providers. Here is how deterministic runtime governance executes at machine speed.

The Invisible Layer

Transparent proxy execution

Your Agent
Sends API or Tool Call
→
Altrace Sidecar
Evaluates local policy
Checks budget & scope
Emits audit log
↔
Provider / MCP
Executes request
Returns payload
→
Allowed
Transparent pass-through
Sub-millisecond overhead
Zero app code changes

Altrace operates entirely at the infrastructure boundary. Your agents run unmodified while every request passes through deterministic validation.

Cost Containment

Enforcing spend boundaries

Your Agent
Initiates large model request
Team spend nears monthly limit
→
Altrace Sidecar
Computes token/tool cost estimate
Compares against team allocation
Ceiling reached
×
503 Refusal
Request blocked pre-egress
Model never invoked
Zero unbudgeted spend

Runaway loops and high-concurrency tasks are halted locally before hitting upstream provider billing.

Human Oversight

Instant team-level kill switch

Operator
Issues kill command:
POST /v1/teams/{id}/kill
→
Altrace Sidecar
Updates local execution state
Persists state across container restarts
Severs active streams
×
Execution Halted
All agent traffic for team dropped
Fails closed immediately
Auditable event recorded

Provides an absolute emergency stop that functions independently of application logic or agent cooperation.

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Deterministic tool governance

Your Agent
Requests restricted tool action
(e.g., export_network_topology)
→
Altrace Sidecar
Evaluates parameter values & scope
Checks role permission matrix
Policy violation matched
×
Hard Block
Action dropped at local socket
Target infrastructure untouched
Structured reason code returned

Blocks unauthorized tool usage and indirect prompt injection attempts attempting to weaponize internal MCP servers.

Evidence Production

Hash-chained decision logs

Governance Engine
Every allow, block, and warn event
Logged with immutable sequence
→
Integrity Layer
Hash-chained records generated
OCSF native schema export
→
Audit-Ready
Direct SIEM integration
Verifiable compliance proof
Zero manual log parsing

Eliminates the overhead of reconstructing agent behavior from scattered log files during security reviews.
