The Problem Most third-party APIs (Stripe, Salesforce, Slack, GitHub) force you to grant full account access with a single token—no fine-grained scopes. When multiple internal services or AI agents share that token, you're violating least-privilege and expanding your breach surface. Teams either accept the risk or spend weeks building custom proxy layers in-house.

Define policies in plain JSON (method, path, payload rules), deploy as a Docker container or Lambda, and instantly restrict what each internal service can do—read-only access, specific endpoints, rate limits, and action blocking. Pre-built templates for Stripe, Salesforce, Slack, and GitHub ship out of the box.
