  • Patent number: 12683941
    Abstract: Systems are disclosed for enabling artificial intelligence (“AI”) agents to securely access client-hosted Model Context Protocol (“MCP”) servers over cloud-managed connections. A cloud connector executing at a client authenticates with a connection server of an AI platform to establish a secure tunnel. A platform-based AI agent can transmit resource commands over the secure tunnel to the client-based MCP server and receive corresponding outputs. The outputs are processed with guardrails configured to detect prompt injection, confidential content, or personally identifiable information, and modified results are utilized during execution of other agent objects, such as AI models, vector databases, datasets, or scripts. Resource commands may also be logged and modified before execution, while redundant tunnels ensure reliability.

  • Patent number: 12682101
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for comparing execution of two or more artificial intelligence (AI) AI agents. A platform can provide a user interface (UI) that allows for selection or creation of multiple AI agents. The AI agents can utilize different agent objects, such as different prompts, datasets, or models. The AI agents can be displayed on a single UI screen, where execution of the AI agents is simultaneously simulated. The same inputs can be provided to the multiple AI agents, and the corresponding outputs can display on screen. The platform can also vectorize and compare the semantic similarity of the outputs, presenting an indication of the semantic similarity on the same UI screen.

  • Publication number: 20260178763
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for building artificial intelligence (“AI”) agents. A server can provide a user interface (UI) that includes options to select and connect various agent objects. The agent objects can include prompt objects, dataset objects, model objects, and one or more code objects. A subset of the agent objects can be identified as available for selection based on evaluation of at least one management policy associated with an administrative user. A manifest file is generated based on the connected agent objects, and the manifest is validated against dependency rules to ensure that the stages of the agent meet prerequisites for the stages. Then, the server performs a simulated execution of an agent that corresponds to the validated manifest file, including an identification of at least one execution metric associated with the simulated execution.

  • Publication number: 20260170162
    Abstract: The system provides a permissions engine derives permissions for responses from artificial intelligence (AI) agents. The permissions are derived based on the access permissions of chunks used to generate the response, and the response is cached for reuse with users meeting the permissions requirements. The system can also derive an access permission level for a user attempting to access the cached result or other content. This can be based on a managed access profile that includes user behavior criteria and device criteria. Likewise, the system can validate and derive sensitivity levels of documents that are ingested for use in AI agents and discriminate between chunks to use in synthesizing results based on the derived permissions of the chunks and their relationship to the user.

  • Patent number: 12592823
    Abstract: Systems are disclosed for enabling secure cloud connections between artificial intelligence (“AI”) agents and client resources. A cloud connector executing at a client establishes an authenticated secure tunnel with a connection manager on a connection server. An AI agent is initiated to access cloud- and client-hosted AI models or data sources. The system uses guardrails to process inputs and outputs over the secure tunnel with the client, detecting prompt injection, confidential information, or personally identifiable information. Redundant secure tunnels and load balancing can be employed to ensure availability. Modified results are transmitted to a user device for display, providing AI agents with controlled access to client resources while enforcing confidentiality, integrity, and policy compliance.

  • Publication number: 20260057434
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing resource access in multitenancy in artificial intelligence (AI) platforms. The platform can provide a user interface (UI) that allows for creation of an organization, tenants within that organization, and groups within tenants. This hierarchy can dictate resource permissions that impact which AI agents and agent objects are available to a user. The different tenants can have segregated data and utilize different agent objects, such as different prompts, datasets, or models. A marketplace UI can prioritize additional marketplace agents for approval and inclusion with the tenant.

  • Publication number: 20260056752
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for tool discovery and ingestion for artificial intelligence (“AI”) agents. An AI platform can discover a first tool specification that includes an action and a description. The first tool specification is ingested to create a first tool object. The first tool object includes the action and an endpoint. Tool labels are determined from the specification and applied to the first tool object. A user interface displays the tool object, and it is added to an AI agent. The AI agent includes a manifest file that is used to execute the AI agent. This includes determining whether the AI agent is authorized to perform the action, and providing the AI agent with access to a tool credential, wherein the tool credential is sent to the endpoint.

  • Publication number: 20260056867
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for dynamic execution of artificial intelligence (“AI”) agents. A server can receive, from a client device, an input associated with an AI agent. Based on a manifest file or user profile, the server can identify a management policy that applies to the AI agent. The server then dynamically configures access to the agent objects based on applying the management policy. The management policy is applied to a device status of the client device, a user profile of a user of the client device, and/or a network configuration of the client device. The server then executes a modified workflow based on the dynamically configured access, wherein the modified workflow bypasses or changes operation of at least one of the agent objects. Based on the modified workflow, the server transmits an output to the client device.
