Akuity gives AI agents a governed path into production

Software delivery platform company Akuity Inc. today introduced Agentic Control Plane, a layer that lets artificial intelligence agents read its pipeline data and act on it under the permissions the platform already enforces.

A second product, Akuity MCP Server, connects agents to the platform over the Model Context Protocol.

Teams are writing more code than they can safely ship, according to Akuity, and agents are already operating inside production environments whether or not anyone sanctioned them. Many of them connect through open-source MCP servers. Akuity said those servers hand over raw access, with no identity carried through and no audit trail of what the agent touched.

Akuity’s answer is to route every request an agent makes through Agentic Control Plane, which authenticates it as the specific person who connected the agent. No shared service account is involved. That person’s existing permissions travel with the connection across every instance and cluster Akuity manages, so there are no separate credentials to issue or rotate. A policy layer sits above all of it and can block sensitive production actions the user is otherwise cleared to perform.

What agents reach through the control plane is the operational record of the pipeline itself. Akuity said that covers deployment history, cluster health and change lineage across a customer’s fleet, down to the commit behind any given deployment.
