# Introduction

> Igris is an AI security and governance platform — govern every MCP tool call, inspect every prompt, and observe every AI interaction.

# What is Igris?

Igris is an AI security and governance platform that sits at every layer of your AI stack. It governs the MCP tool calls your agents make, inspects the prompts and responses flowing through your LLMs, and gives security and compliance teams a unified view of every AI interaction — all from a single dashboard.

AI teams today face a fragmented landscape: agents calling dozens of MCP tools and LLM providers with no consistent policy, no firewall, and no audit trail.

Igris closes that gap with three integrated products and one security posture.

## The Platform

Igris is three integrated products covering every layer of your AI security stack.

  <Card title="Igris Sentinel" icon="shield-half">
    The MCP governance proxy. Sits between your agents and MCP servers to enforce deny-by-default policies, inject credentials, authorize tool calls, control sessions, and detect anomalies in real time.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Igris Guard" icon="lock">
    The LLM firewall. Inspects every prompt and response across 60 providers — blocking prompt injection, redacting PII and secrets, enforcing content policy, and stopping data leakage.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Igris Lens" icon="eye">
    The observability layer. A unified dashboard for logs, traces, anomaly alerts, and audit trails across every Igris product.
  </Card>

Both Sentinel and Guard are reachable through a single TypeScript SDK and a gateway endpoint, so you add governance to an MCP tool call or an LLM request with one function call.

## Who is Igris for?

* **AI/ML Engineering Teams** shipping agents that use MCP tool calls in production and need guardrails.
* **CISOs and Security Officers** who need audit evidence without manual spreadsheet work.
* **Platform Teams** managing multiple AI providers and needing a single pane of glass for governance.
* **Startups** that want governance evidence auto-populated from real system data instead of fabricated.

## Key Principles

1. **Provider-agnostic** — Igris works across leading AI providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and self-hosted models via the 60-provider LLM gateway. It works at the tool-call and log level.
2. **Zero-trust by default** — Policies are deny-first. Unmatched tool calls are blocked unless explicitly allowed.
3. **Evidence from reality** — Audit data is populated from actual events, not templates filled with placeholder data.
4. **Real-time** — SSE-powered dashboard updates. Anomaly detection alerts within seconds.
