NoLabs
agent runtime governance

Let your agents move fast , safely.

nolabs draws enforceable boundaries around every AI agent, ensuring safe and controlled execution of their actions.

The model

Security & autonomy
can co-exist

To be useful, agents must interact with the real world. To be safe, their access must be isolated — but with nuance.You cannot lock an agent in a box and then hand it the keys. True agent security requires zero-trust, safe paths of least privilege, dynamically enforced at the exact millisecond a tool is executed.

01

Define boundaries

Declare exactly what each agent is allowed to touch — files, networks, secrets, tools — as policy that scales across your agent fleet.

02

Control actions

Every tool execution and side effect passes through a zero-latency mediator. Allow, deny, or escalate for approval the moment an action is attempted.

03

Protect yet empower

Agents need real authority — access to secrets, passwords, and tokens. nono grants it while making exfiltration structurally impossible.

04

Build trust

A tamper-evident black-box recorder of every agent action is captured at runtime. Providing audit-ready evidence that your agents stayed inside the lines.

Open source · flagship

Meet nono

nono is the leading open-source agent runtime governance stack. Isolate any agent or framework, write composable policy, and every tool call / action is checked before it happens — locally, in CI, Kubernetes, or in production.

  • Framework-agnostic — works with any agent or MCP tool
  • Gate secrets to a single tool, not the entire system
  • Sub-millisecond enforcement, with a zero-latency footprint

The enterprise layer for agent fleets

Everything in nono, operationalized for production at scale. We're building the nolabs platform — turning runtime boundaries into a system of record for security, platform, and compliance teams. Here's the layer taking shape.

Trusted autonomy by design

Fleet-wide policy

Author, distribute, and version boundaries across thousands of agents from one control plane.

Live observability

Every decision, every agent, in real time. Trace any action back to the policy that allowed it.

Approvals & Guardrails

Route sensitive actions for human vetting with nolabs advanced agent threat analysis.

Compliance evidence

Tamper-evident audit logs designed to map to SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls.

Identity & access

SSO, SCIM, and fine-grained roles so the right agents own the right boundaries.

Hosted Agents

Spawn coding agents in milliseconds, sandboxed from the first instruction.

Why nolabs

Built by people who made software safer

At nolabs, we obsess over agent security — made for the future and built from the ground up. We have decades of experience building large distributed security platforms used by teams at Google, NVIDIA, OpenAI, and more.

That history is why we believe we're uniquely qualified to figure out how to let AI agents run safely in a new world. Agents are software that acts on its own. Securing them demands the same rigor we brought to the software supply chain, to identity, and to the systems the internet runs on.

We're building the runtime that lets autonomy be trusted by default — not hoped for.
