Overview
Execlave is an AI agent governance and enforcement platform. It sits between your AI agents and the real systems they can access, checking each action against policies before that action reaches a database, API, customer record, payment workflow, or other sensitive target.
The product is built for teams that are moving agents from prototypes into production. Once agents can call tools, spend money, access customer data, or change business systems, a simple log is not enough. Execlave positions itself as a gate: actions can be allowed, paused for human review, or blocked based on policies.
Execlave also targets compliance and audit readiness. Its public materials describe hash-chained audit records, real-time traces, approvals, model and cost rules, prompt injection guards, and support for frameworks such as GDPR, EU AI Act, SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and NIST AI RMF.
Key Features
- Runtime policy enforcement - Execlave checks agent actions before execution, with outcomes such as allowed, paused for human review, or blocked.
- Real-time traces - Teams can monitor active agents, traces, violations, blocked actions, token use, and cost in a control plane.
- Audit logs - Governed actions are recorded for review, compliance, and incident analysis.
- Human approvals - High-impact decisions can be routed to humans before execution, helping teams avoid fully autonomous risky actions.
- Kill switch - Execlave provides a server-side emergency stop for agents, with the official site claiming sub-6 ms kill-switch response in measured workloads.
- Cloud or self-hosted deployment - Teams can start in the cloud or run Execlave on their own infrastructure, with self-hosting available from the Starter plan.
Integration Guide
Execlave is designed to be added to agent stacks rather than replace them:
- Instrument the agent - Add the SDK to trace actions, tokens, and costs.
- Declare policies - Define limits for cost, model use, prompt injection handling, PII, content filters, approval rules, and blocked operations.
- Connect tools and workflows - Put Execlave between agent actions and the systems agents can touch.
- Monitor traces - Watch live runs, policy outcomes, and audit events in the dashboard.
- Tune enforcement - Decide which actions should be blocked, warned, or paused for approval as the agent matures.
Public materials list integrations and ecosystem targets including OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, AutoGen, MCP, Python, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL.

FAQ
What is Execlave?
Execlave is an AI agent governance platform that enforces policies at runtime, records governed actions, supports human approvals, and provides an emergency kill switch.
How does Execlave work?
Execlave sits between agents and the systems they can access. Each action is checked against policies before execution, then allowed, paused, or blocked.
Does Execlave support self-hosting?
Yes. Execlave offers cloud and self-hosted deployment, with self-hosting starting on the Starter plan.
How much does Execlave cost?
Execlave has a Free plan for non-commercial evaluation, Starter at $199 per month, Professional at $599 per month, and custom Enterprise pricing.
Who should use Execlave?
Execlave is best for teams running production agents that can call tools, access sensitive data, or perform business actions that require policy and audit controls.
Is Execlave only an audit log?
No. Execlave includes audit logging, but its main claim is runtime enforcement before agent actions reach real systems.
