Cequence governs agent-to-application actions
It exposes APIs and MCP servers as trusted tools, then checks identity, permission, action context, security signals, and data handling.
Agent Personas turn job descriptions into scoped access
A persona limits an agent to defined tools, APIs, skills, endpoints, and permission levels.
The private data plane still uses a cloud control plane
Cequence documents customer Kubernetes for MCP servers, data, processing, and logs with centralized management in Cequence Cloud.
