• Salus Developer tool Sold on its own

  Runtime authorization layer that wraps the tool an agent uses to write to a system, holds an action that lacks evidence before the provider is called, returns the exact missing step to the agent and records a receipt for every decision; works with OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, Vapi, Retell and MCP; Pilot plan $500 a month and Partner plan $2,500 a month, with a custom Enterprise plan, priced by agents and action checks and not by seat.
