Execution authority for AI agents

Agents act. Sumway decides.

AI agents are moving from answering questions to taking real-world actions. Sumway is the control plane between agent intent and execution: the agent proposes, credentials stay outside the agent, and Sumway decides whether that action is permitted right now. If it is, Sumway coordinates execution and returns the result, with a clear record of the decision.

Give agents autonomy. Keep control.

The decision point between intent and action

An AI agent may know what it wants to do. That doesn't mean it should automatically have the authority to do it. Sumway sits at the boundary between an agent and the systems it can act on.

One policy layer. Any agent. Existing infrastructure.

Sumway isn't another agent framework, wallet, bank or payment rail. It is the execution-authority layer between them: it decides whether this action is allowed right now, then coordinates how it happens.

  • Identity tells you who is acting.

    Sumway keeps the credentials and execution authority outside the agent.

  • Authorization and permissions say what was granted.

    Sumway answers whether this action is still allowed right now.

  • Payment rails move value.

    Sumway determines whether they may be invoked.

  • AI agents propose actions.

    Sumway evaluates, then coordinates execution if policy allows.

Start with payments

Payments are one of the clearest examples of where autonomous agents need boundaries. Set budgets, approved destinations, permitted users, agent permissions and approval requirements. When an agent requests a payment, Sumway evaluates the request before money moves.

  1. Allowed

    The action can continue through your configured provider.

  2. Approval required

    The right person is asked before execution.

  3. Denied

    The action stops.

Sumway does not replace your bank, wallet or payment provider, and does not need to custody your funds. Once authorized, Sumway coordinates execution through your configured provider.

Built for an open agent ecosystem

The future of agentic commerce won't run on a single model, payment network, wallet or protocol. Sumway is designed to sit across that ecosystem. Use the agents you want. Use the financial infrastructure you already trust. Adopt emerging identity, intent and payment standards as they evolve. Keep one place where your organization's authority is enforced.

Payments are the beginning

As agents become capable of taking more consequential actions, execution authority will extend far beyond spending.

  • Purchasing services
  • Accessing sensitive data
  • Invoking privileged APIs
  • Changing infrastructure
  • Executing business processes

Is this agent allowed to do this, right now, under these conditions?

That's the question Sumway is built to answer.

Intro

Who controls what AI agents can do

Agents can act. Sumway sits between intent and execution so your organization keeps authority, without holding wallets or keys.

Give agents autonomy without giving up control.
