Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about SENTINEL, setup, pricing, and how we protect your data.
SENTINEL is a compliance certification service for AI agents. It generates tamper-proof certificates that prove your AI agent's behavior stays within the limits you define — without exposing your data or methods.
SENTINEL works with all major AI platforms: Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini), xAI (Grok), and OpenClaw. It also works with any custom AI agent that can make API calls. For MCP-compatible agents like Claude, setup is a simple config change. For all other platforms, you use our REST API — same capabilities, same results.
For Claude Code or Claude Desktop: no code needed — SENTINEL integrates in about 5 minutes with a simple configuration change via MCP. For agents on other platforms (GPT, Gemini, Grok, OpenClaw), you integrate via our REST API. Our quickstart guide and API docs cover both paths.
SENTINEL sees behavioral measurements you choose to send — things like quality scores, response times, or safety metrics. It does NOT see your AI's prompts, training data, or customer information. The compliance certificates prove your agent is "within limits" without containing the underlying measurements.
Traditional audits happen periodically — quarterly or annually. SENTINEL monitors continuously and links every certificate to the previous one, creating an unbroken compliance timeline. A gap in the chain is immediately visible. You go from "we passed our last audit" to "we've been continuously compliant since January."
Yes. Anyone can verify a SENTINEL certificate without a SENTINEL account or API key. Just share the certificate or a link to our verification page. The mathematics behind the certificate make it self-verifying — no trust in SENTINEL is required.
For Claude Code or Claude Desktop users: about 5 minutes. You add a few lines to your configuration file and you're generating certificates immediately. For custom API integrations, our quickstart guide walks you through the first certificate in about 15 minutes.
We offer a free tier with 100 certificates per month — enough to evaluate and prototype. Our Pro plan is $49/month for 5,000 certificates with priority support. Enterprise plans are custom. Verification is always free and unlimited.
SENTINEL is designed for privacy by construction. The compliance certificates prove behavioral conformance without containing personal data. Since the certificates don't store the underlying observations, there's nothing to delete, anonymize, or subject to data requests.
SENTINEL reports what it measures honestly. If your agent's behavior exceeds your defined limits, the certificate will say "out of bounds." SENTINEL doesn't prevent bad behavior — it proves whether behavior was good or bad. This honest reporting is the foundation of trust.
