Descope Launches Agentic Identity Control Plane to Secure AI Agents with Policy-Based Guardrails

Descope, the leading no-code identity and access management (IAM) platform, has introduced the Agentic Identity Control Plane, a pioneering security solution designed for AI agents. This launch enhances Descope’s Agentic Identity Hub, enabling organizations to enforce policy-based governance, audit trails, and identity management across AI agent and Model Context Protocol (MCP) environments.

With the rapid adoption of AI agents, large language models (LLMs), and MCP servers, enterprise security leaders face growing challenges. Specifically, they are concerned about unauthorized AI access, which expands the attack surface and increases compliance risks. A recent Descope-commissioned survey of over 400 CIAM leaders revealed that 57% worry about AI agents exposing or sharing unauthorized data.

To address these threats, Descope’s platform introduces scope-based access control. Secur

ity teams can now define detailed access policies for AI agents interacting with corporate resources. This includes role-based restrictions and third-party tool access. Moreover, Descope’s latest update provides enterprise-grade monitoring and auditing tools. These tools help security teams detect misconfigurations, track agent activity, and quickly identify rogue AI agents before they cause damage.

In addition, the platform supports end-to-end identity lifecycle management for AI agents. Organizations can now manage dynamic and static agent registrations, handle user consent flows, define granular authorization scopes, and control token usage all while maintaining visibility between machine and human identities.

Slavik Markovich, Co-founder and CEO of Descope, emphasized the need

for scalable AI governance: “No CISO wants to st op agentic AI or MCP adoption, but each new integration increases risk. Our Agentic Identity Control Plane provides intuitive tools that empower teams to scale AI securely.”

In April 2025, Descope launched the Agentic Identity Hub, addressing key authorization needs for developers building AI-compatible APIs. Today’s release builds on that vision, making Descope a critical enabler of secure AI ecosystems.
