dexgate pass next to other controls
dexgate pass is a rules-first pre-execution gate. Your AI sends the request to dexgate before it acts. dexgate decides every request sent to it, using your rules, before the action runs.
| Control | What it does | What it leaves open | How dexgate pass fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Permissions | Define what a user or service can reach. | An agent can still use those permissions for the wrong action. | dexgate decides on the request before the action runs. |
| Monitoring | Shows what already happened. | It is often too late once the action has run. | dexgate decides on the request first. Issuance, redemption and execution are written to an audit log. |
| Policy engines | Express and evaluate rules. | How the answer is enforced at the action, and what record is kept, depends on how it's wired in. | dexgate decides every request sent to it, using your rules, before the action runs. A request that clears gets a single-use dexgate pass, and issuance, redemption and execution are written to an audit log. |
A payment, an offer, a quote, or a refund can be inside the surrounding controls and still need an answer before it runs. Each request gets one of six answers. See Product.
The system that carries out the action uses the pass once. A repeat returns the original result instead of running again.
