NullRun is a runtime authorization layer for AI agents. It evaluates and enforces every agent action against your policies, including tool use, budgets, and MCP operations: allow, require human approval, or block. Every decision is recorded as auditable evidence, giving teams control over agent execution and a governed path to AI adoption. Python SDK, hosted control plane, RBAC, human approvals, traces, audit trail, and tenant isolation are live. Self-serve and deploy in minutes.

Could you build this?

Partial While an SDK intercepting function calls is straightforward, a robust runtime authorization control plane with enterprise multi-tenancy, sub-millisecond evaluation, and dynamic RBAC security semantics requires specialized security infrastructure.

What it would actually take: The system needs a distributed, low-latency policy evaluation engine (like Open Policy Agent or Cedar) wrapped in a Python SDK middleware. The hard part is ensuring sub-millisecond deterministic authorization, safe fallback/human-in-the-loop async pause-and-resume workflows without dropping agent execution state, and cryptographic audit log immutability. Requires expertise in distributed systems, application security, and stateful workflow orchestration.
