# AI Agent Security

## Overview

Akto lets you seamlessly import **AI agents** such as **AWS Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, Databricks, Google Vertex AI, IBM Watsonx**, or even your **custom agent** into **AI Agent Security**. With just the agent endpoint URL and optional configuration, you can start monitoring and scanning agent activity instantly.

**Bring Your Own AI Agent**

Akto Argus also supports **Bring Your Own Agent**, enabling organizations to secure **any custom, in-house, or self-hosted AI agent**, even if it is not built on a predefined platform.

**With Bring Your Own Agent, you can:**

* Secure proprietary and homegrown AI agents
* Integrate agents built using custom frameworks or internal tooling
* Monitor agent behavior, inputs, outputs, and tool usage
* Enforce security policies via Akto Argus APIs or SDKs
  {% endhint %}

## Bring Your Own AI Agent: What You Need

The steps below are for importing a custom, in-house, or self-hosted agent that doesn't have a dedicated connector in the table above. If your platform is listed above, follow its linked guide instead; it will have setup steps specific to that platform rather than this generic flow.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**AI Endpoint URL** (e.g., `https://api.example.com/ai-agent`)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**(Optional) AI Agent Name** – if left blank, the hostname from the URL is used
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**(Optional) Custom Request Body** – for agents requiring specific input JSON
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**(Optional) Test Role for Authentication** – for agents with role-based access
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**(Optional) Custom Headers** – for agents requiring additional headers such as API keys or auth tokens
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**(Optional) Custom Response** – skip the live call and provide the response yourself, useful when the endpoint isn't reachable from the dashboard
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Bring Your Own Agent: Steps to Import

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Open Akto Argus Dashboard** → Go to Connectors
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Select Bring Your Own AI Agent** (or Custom Agent) and click **Connect**

<figure><img src="https://3128331180-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Ftog5ODwYfqPOf4eQhsOC%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-df29062c51beacf77e1b35ac86a7a69a6cd1a4e8%2Fimage.png?alt=media" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Fill in agent details** in the Set up guide panel:

* **AI Endpoint URL**: e.g., `https://api.example.com/ai-agent`
* *(Optional)* **AI Agent name**: if not provided, the hostname from the URL will be used
* *(Optional)* Check **Use custom request body** and enter JSON payload:

  ```json
  { "key": "value" }
  ```
* *(Optional)* Enable **Use test role for authentication** and select a role (e.g., `ATTACKER_TOKEN_ALL`)
* *(Optional)* Click **+ Add header** under **Custom Headers** to pass additional headers with each request
* *(Optional)* Enable **Use custom response (skip live call)** and provide the response yourself instead of Akto calling the URL, useful when the endpoint isn't reachable from the dashboard
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Import**
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Akto will now automatically:

* Connect to the AI agent endpoint
* Send sample test requests to validate the configuration
* Register the agent into **AI Agent Security Inventory** for monitoring and scanning

{% hint style="success" %}
**Akto Access Scope**

* Auth/test roles (if any) are used **only during import** and are **not stored**
  {% endhint %}
