Your agents can act. Who decides what they may do?

David Gate evaluates requested actions before execution, routes consequential changes to the right human, and records the decision and result — so agents can work without unchecked authority.

Governance at the point of action, not just an audit log after the fact.

At 17:42, a request for proposal lands on the desk. The deadline is tomorrow morning. The team knows the work, but the answer is scattered across systems, documents, and people already carrying too much. While they search and wait for approval, someone else is already sending a proposal because their work moves faster. AI could change that, but if it sends a promise you cannot keep, the AI will not explain it. You will. There is another way. Let the agent prepare the work. Let policy decide what is safe. Let the right person authorize what matters. It checks the delivery plan and finds the risk before the promise is sent. Your team decides. The proposal moves. Move faster without giving up control, and stand behind every promise you make. Bring us one workflow. Become a pilot partner.

An assistant that drafts is safe. An agent that acts is a different risk.

An assistant can draft a message. An agent can send it, change a record, or trigger a workflow. That is where ordinary prompt controls stop being enough — and where most teams either block agents from acting at all, or let them act with no consistent check. David Gate gives every consequential action one governed path: evaluated against policy, routed to the right approver when it matters, and recorded for later proof.

See the control flow

Request

An agent proposes a business action, not just a suggestion.

Policy

The request is evaluated against policy before anything happens.

Approval

A named human reviews the exact change before it becomes real.

Execution

Only the authorized action runs — nothing more, nothing silent.

Evidence

Who requested it, what was approved, and what actually ran stay reviewable.

How David Gate works

  1. Request

    An agent proposes to do something real: change a record, send a message, trigger a workflow — not just answer a question.

  2. Evaluate

    David Gate evaluates the request against the applicable policy: permitted, needs a human, or forbidden.

  3. Authorize

    A permitted action proceeds. A consequential one waits for the right person to review the exact proposed change and approve it.

  4. Execute

    The authorized action runs through the connected tool — nothing more than what was approved.

  5. Prove

    The decision, the approver, and the actual outcome stay reviewable, so you can answer for what happened.

David Gate cannot approve its own request, and cannot silently expand what an agent is authorized to do.

Most tools log what happened. David Gate decides what may happen.

Logging

Log what the agent did

Decide what the agent may do, before it happens

Chat safety

Add guardrails to the chat

Govern the tool call the chat leads to

Approval

Approve the agent in general

Approve the exact requested change, every time it matters

Coverage

Cover one model or one chat UI

Govern the action regardless of which model or tool requested it

Audit

Provide an audit trail after the fact

Provide a preventive control and a reviewable record

Speed

Slow every action down for review

Let permitted work proceed while risky work waits for the right person

An execution boundary that decides — not an audit log that only remembers

Evaluates every tool request against policy

Routes consequential changes to the right approver

Works across tools, connectors and models

Distinguishes permitted work from work that needs review

Keeps a reviewable record of what was requested, approved and executed

Where teams use it

Customer-record changes

Customer-record changes

An agent proposes to update a customer record; David Gate checks the change against policy before it is written.

Outbound messages

Outbound messages

An agent proposes to send an email or notification on the business's behalf; the exact text and recipient are reviewed first.

Workflow triggers

Workflow triggers

An agent proposes to start a multi-step workflow, such as a refund or a provisioning process; the scope of what it may trigger is explicit.

Sensitive data access

Sensitive data access

An agent proposes to read or export data through a connector; access is checked against the same policy as any other action.

Multi-step agent plans

Multi-step agent plans

An agent proposes a bounded sequence across several tools; the plan and the exact steps it is authorized to run are kept explicit and separate.

Don't wait for an agent to overstep before you find out the control wasn't there.

Bring one agent workflow. See the policy. Approve the exact change. Prove what ran.
