Architecture: authorization and evidence outside the model
The model proposes actions. Akretic is preparing a Q3 design-partner control layer to evaluate identity, policy context, retrieval source, MCP-connected tool surface, egress request, or side effect before release.
Control Plane Role
Akretic sits between assistants, enterprise data, and connected tools.
Target paths evaluate policy outside the model, filter restricted retrieval before model context release, route sensitive actions through approvals, and record material decisions in an evidence trail.
$ assistant request
$ -> authenticated identity context
$ -> Gate0 policy decision
$ -> RAG DMZ, public-web fetch, or tool surface
$ -> approval checkpoint
$ -> Iron Ledger evidence event
$ -> review or export
01 - Policy Evaluation Path
Evaluate sensitive reads, tool calls, egress, and side effects before release.
The design goal is to minimize application changes on approved API and assistant paths, not to promise universal transparent interception across every agent framework. Gate0 policy evaluation is intended for low-latency decisioning, with real performance claims reserved for scoped design-partner integrations.
Policy decision service for identity, authorization, egress, retrieval, and approval-sensitive actions.
Permission-preserving retrieval boundary that filters restricted context before model release.
Tamper-evident evidence trail for material policy decisions, approvals, denials, retrieval releases, and action events.
Gateway path for supported agent and API flows. Akretic avoids claiming universal transparent proxying across every framework.
Operator review and policy surface, scoped by engagement and deployment needs.
Constrained execution boundary for approved high-risk operations. It is not presented as arbitrary safe code execution.
Integration Boundary
Akretic is designed to work with supported assistant and API paths selected during design-partner planning. Integration details are scoped to the environment, identity source, retrieval systems, tool surface, and evidence requirements.
Provider Flexibility
Model/provider flexibility is a design goal. Public claims are limited to supported integrations in the deployment scope.
