# Votal AI, Runtime guardrails, tool authorisation and red teaming for AI agents

Votal AI is a runtime security platform for enterprise AI applications and agents. It inspects every prompt, model response and tool call, blocks prompt injection and jailbreaks, redacts sensitive data, and controls which agent can call which tool. A continuous red-team engine probes your agents for gaps and tightens the policies over time. It runs in your cloud, on-premises or fully air-gapped.

**Vendor:** Votal AI
**Solution area:** Agentic AI Security
**Role in the agentic stack:** Sits between your agents, their models and their tools, and enforces policy on every call at runtime.
**Industries:** Banking & Financial Services, Telecommunications, Retail & Consumer, Public Sector & Government, Oil & Gas

## Capabilities
- **Prompt and jailbreak protection:** Stops prompt injection, jailbreaks and encoded or multi-turn attacks before they reach the model.
- **Output checks:** Validates responses for hallucination, policy breaches and brand safety.
- **PII detection and redaction:** Masks sensitive data across more than 50 entity types in prompts and responses.
- **Tool authorisation:** Role-based, per-call control over which agent can use which tool, with rate limits and human-approval gates.
- **Agent identity and audit:** Cryptographic identities for agents, tool calls and MCP connections, with tamper-evident logs.
- **Continuous red teaming:** AI CART probes your agents for weaknesses and proposes policy updates for approval.

## Use cases
- **Customer support agents** (Banking & Financial Services, Telecommunications, Retail & Consumer): Keep support agents on approved topics and gate account changes behind policy and approval.
- **Fraud and AML analyst agents** (Banking & Financial Services): Give investigation agents role-based access to transaction and compliance tools, and log every call.
- **Sovereign and air-gapped AI** (Public Sector & Government, Oil & Gas): Run guardrails inside your own data centre for classified or regulated workloads.

## FAQ
### What does Votal AI protect?
Votal AI protects AI applications and agents at runtime. It checks prompts, model outputs and tool calls against your policies, so an agent can't be tricked into leaking data or taking an action it isn't allowed to take.

### Can Votal AI run on-premises?
Yes. It can be deployed in your own VPC, in a private data centre or in an air-gapped environment, which suits banks and government agencies with data residency rules.

### Is NitronEdge a Votal AI partner?
Yes. NitronEdge Technologies works with Votal AI to design, implement, integrate and support Votal AI for organisations in the Middle East, Africa, USA, India and Canada.

### How does Votal AI fit into an agentic AI architecture?
Sits between your agents, their models and their tools, and enforces policy on every call at runtime. NitronEdge positions Votal AI in the Agentic AI Security layer of its agentic stack (trust layer).

### Can NitronEdge deliver Votal AI in Saudi Arabia, the USA or India?
Yes. We work with organisations across the Middle East (United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait), Africa (South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt), the USA, India and Canada. Delivery is remote and on-site, and we design every project around the local data protection and data residency rules.
