Permit.io
Fine-grained authorization-as-a-service platform with native support for AI agent identity and access control. Assigns machine identities to agents, enforces permissions per tool and resource, and integrates with LangChain, PydanticAI, and MCP. Supports RBAC, ABAC, and ReBAC policies. Free tier for small teams; Pro and Enterprise tiers based on monthly active identities.
Solid choice for most workflows
You need fine-grained authorization for AI agents across tools and resources without custom policy engines or standing secrets.
Millisecond local decisions with zero latency; OPAL syncs policies instantly; consistent enforcement for agents/humans but requires VPC deploy.
Your agents span multiple services/clouds but each has inconsistent auth models causing security gaps and rework.
Predictable POST /allowed API works across APIs/DBs/tools; no data leaves VPC; scales to enterprise but Pro tier needed beyond free MAUs.
Builders waste time wiring auth for agent workflows while ensuring human oversight and auditability.
Fast, compliant (HIPAA/SOC2) with decision logs; great for MCP gateways but humans still manage policies.
Free tier MAU limit
Caps at 1,000 monthly active users/identities; exceeding requires Pro/Enterprise upgrade—monitor via dashboard to avoid surprise billing.
VPC or Kubernetes deploy
PDP runs as microservice in your network for zero-latency local decisions without exposing data.
Trust Breakdown
What It Actually Does
Permit.io lets you add detailed access controls to your app so users or AI agents can only reach the right data and tools. It handles permissions by roles, attributes, or relationships, and works with your existing login systems.
