Antler
Logging for AI agentsEarly access open

Every agent. Every action. On the record.

Antler keeps one complete, tamper-evident record of everything AI agents do across your company: which agent, on whose behalf, on which account, what it did, and why. Alerts go where your security team already works.

  • No code changes
  • Starts watch-only
  • Recorded outside the agent
  • Keys stripped before saving

Each square behind this is one agent action. Tap one.

Example dataNorthwind is a fictional company, and every name, ticket and record on this page is made up. Coding agents today. Browser AI and business agents next.

Anatomy of a record

One action. Five facts. One seal.

This is the Cursor row from the log above, opened up. Every record says who acted, for whom, what it did and why, and carries a seal that shows nothing has changed since.

  • Who

    The agent, the model, the person and the account.

    Matched against Okta or Entra ID and your device records, not taken on the agent’s word.

  • For

    Whose authority it was using.

    A coding agent usually acts for the person at the keyboard. In CI it acts for a pipeline or a service account.

  • What

    The real tool call and its result.

    Commands, files, data and API calls. Keys and personal data are stripped before anything is saved.

  • Why

    The input that led to the action.

    Anything from outside the company is marked untrusted, down to the exact words. That is how a tricked agent stands out.

  • Seal

    Linked to the record before it.

    Edit or delete any record and the chain breaks at that exact point.

Alert · search · prove

A record your team can use. And an auditor can check.

Every record is written outside the agent, chained to the one before it, and stripped of secrets before it is saved. Alerts go where your security team already works.

Alerts

Alerts land where you already work.

Slack, Teams or your SIEM. Every alert carries its why chain and a Recall button.

Same alert toTeamsSplunkSentinelWebhook

Coverage

Gaps show up. The target is zero.

Antler checks what it recorded against what each agent reports, hour by hour. A missing action becomes a red square, not a silent hole.

Secrets

Keys never reach the record.

Keys, tokens and personal data are stripped before a record is written. The record notes they were there.

Bring your own AI

Bring your own AI. Keep the record.

Some companies let people use their own AI subscriptions to save cost. The company still needs every action on the record. Antler logs work on personal and company accounts the same way, marks which is which, and applies your policy to each.

Rollout

One package. Every laptop.

IT pushes one package with Jamf, Kandji or Intune. It connects Antler to Claude Code and other coding agents through their managed settings, so every action is recorded before it runs and rules can ask or block. Even without that step, Antler builds the record from the session files the agents already keep, as a log only. The browser piece comes in the same package. Business-agent audit feeds connect on the server.

Coding agents today. Browser AI and business agents next.

  • Browser AINextComes in the same package, for AI used in the browser.same install, nothing extra to push

Your server

  • Business agentsNextAudit feeds connect on the server. Nothing to install on laptops.Microsoft Copilot · Agentforce · ChatGPT Enterprise

One recordevery action, every laptop, every feed

For the person at the laptop, nothing to install or sign in to. They only hear from it when a rule asks them first.

Managed settings

The package writes each agent’s own policy file.

For Claude Code that is its managed settings file, which takes priority over each person’s own settings.

/Library/Application Support/ClaudeCode/managed-settings.json
{
"hooks": {
"UserPromptSubmit": [{ "hooks": [
{ "type": "command", "command": "antler hook prompt" }] }],
"PreToolUse": [{ "matcher": "*", "hooks": [
{ "type": "command", "command": "antler hook pre" }] }],
"PostToolUse": [{ "matcher": "*", "hooks": [
{ "type": "command", "command": "antler hook post" }] }]
}
}

Installed by the package and locked by IT. The pre hook runs before each tool call, so a rule can ask or block. The post hook records what came back.

Command line

Build it, push it, check every laptop.

One command builds the signed package for your MDM. Another shows which laptops are reporting.

Light footprint

About 4 ms and 8 MB per action.

The recorder starts when an agent acts, records the action and exits. The always-on service that uploads records and watches for tampering idles at about 13 MB and close to zero CPU.

MeasuredMedians on a 4-core Linux machine with a typical policy. Mac and Windows numbers to come.

Rules

You decide what each kind of action gets.

Every rule does one of four things: log it, flag it, ask a person to approve it, or block it. New rules start watch-only. They record what they would have done and change nothing until you switch them on.

Watch-only first

Nothing changes until you switch a rule on.

A watch-only rule records what it would have done. Read the matches, adjust the rule, then turn it on for one team or for everyone.

Recall

Pull an agent’s access. Then prove it’s gone.

Recall stops the agent, revokes every credential it holds, checks that each one no longer works, and signs the result. Auditors and insurers can read the report and check it themselves.

  • Time to contain, from the first click to the last verified revocation.
  • Every credential tested after it is revoked, at the provider.
  • Signed and sealed into the record chain, so the report can’t be quietly edited.
