About Permission Protocol

One sentence

Permission Protocol provides external authorization and signed evidence for consequential AI agent actions.

Company description

Permission Protocol helps teams control which consequential actions their AI agents may take and inspect evidence of what was authorized. Its product entry points include GitHub approval workflows through Deploy Gate and MCP tool-call controls through MCP Guard. Teams can define an approval boundary, route requests for a decision and inspect signed authorization receipts. Enforcement depends on the configured integration; a receipt records authorization rather than proof that an action executed. Learn more at permissionprotocol.com.

Refund policy concept: an $80 refund is allowed, a $4,800 refund needs review, and a new payment destination is blocked by policy.
01 / authority · Product concept
Allow refunds up to $100 to the original payment method. Hold larger refunds for review. Block new destinations, even when a reviewer is available.

Maya Chen reviews the $4,800 request, its billing context and its original payment destination. Her decision applies to this request; a changed amount or customer needs a new decision.

Enforcement concept comparing an authorized $4,800 refund with a changed $5,200 request that is blocked because the amount no longer matches.
03 / enforcement · Product concept
Approval for $4,800 does not cover $5,200. Check scope and validity before release, through a protected execution path. A new destination remains prohibited by policy.

04 / evidence · Product concept
Keep the authorization and the provider-reported result separate. A signed decision records permission; provider acceptance alone does not establish that funds have settled.
