Control for developer-agent workflows

Control what developer agents see, do, and prove.

Contextus is the control layer between developer agents and the tools they use.

Prepare the context an agent needs, check governed actions against policy, pause risky work for approval, and keep the decision and outcome together.

Keep the agent and tools you already use. Add control around the actions that matter.

How Contextus fits

Keep your agent. Add control around it.

How you use it

Start with one governed agent workflow.

Connect one workflow, define the boundary, then let policy decide when work continues, pauses, or stops.

01

Connect your agent

Keep using your coding agent, editor, MCP workflow, CLI, or internal automation.

02

Choose what needs control

Define which tools, resources, and actions are allowed, denied, or require review.

03

Let safe work continue

Actions that satisfy policy proceed without unnecessary interruption.

04

Review risky requests

When risk crosses a defined threshold, Contextus pauses the action for an authorized decision.

05

Keep the evidence

The request, policy result, reviewer, rationale, and outcome remain in one reviewable trail.

One control loop around agent actions.

Compile context → Govern actions → Approve risk → Prove outcomes

Compile

Assemble the files, docs, policies, tickets, and task history an agent needs before it acts.

Govern

Apply policy to model choice, data sensitivity, tool use, and runtime actions.

Approve

Pause high-risk writes, deletes, deployments, network calls, and credential use for review.

Prove

Keep the action, actor, policy result, reviewer, rationale, and outcome in one trail.

Follow one decision

See one consequential action before it reaches production.

See the working context, policy result, review state, and proof without losing the story across separate systems.

The control layer

Control before execution. Evidence after it.

Contextus connects identity, policy, review, and proof around the same governed action.

Agent Passport

Know which agent is acting and who authorized it.

Connect an agent owner, purpose, allowed scope, approval requirements, lifecycle state, and expiry to the actions it requests.

Managed policies

Turn operational rules into decisions before execution.

Apply policy to identity, tools, resources, data sensitivity, risk thresholds, approvals, redaction, and proof requirements.

Human review

Ask people only when the action warrants it.

Safe work continues while higher-risk actions pause with the agent, target, policy result, and relevant context needed to decide.

Decision history

Turn agent activity into an understandable decision story.

Keep context references, tool calls, policy decisions, approvals, rationale, and outcomes together for later review.

Go deeper when you need it

More control without complicating the first workflow.

Advanced capabilities stay available after the core control path is clear.

Semantic context

Retrieve and assemble relevant working context for the task.

Model routing

Apply policy to provider and model selection.

Evaluations

Connect workflow outcomes and evaluation evidence to governed runs.

Experimental

Recursive Lab

Experimental context-refinement research for advanced workflows.

FAQ

Know where Contextus fits.

A control layer for agent workflows, not another agent to replace your stack.

Is Contextus a coding agent?

No. Contextus works alongside coding agents and custom agent workflows. It controls the context and tool actions around the work rather than replacing the agent that performs it.

Does Contextus replace Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or other agents?

No. Keep your existing agent. Contextus adds context controls, policy, approvals, identity, routing, and evidence around the workflow.

Is Contextus a model router?

Model routing is one capability inside Contextus. The broader product governs context, identity, tool actions, approval requirements, and retained evidence through shared policy.

Does every action require approval?

No. Policies determine which actions can continue, which require human review, and which should be denied.
