Question 1

What is Cridin?

Accepted Answer

Cridin is the authority and evidence system for autonomous work. It helps companies govern whether an AI agent, in its current approved version, may take a specific consequential action in a real business system.

Question 2

How is Cridin different from an API key or service account?

Accepted Answer

API keys and service accounts typically provide broad, long-lived access. Cridin is designed to replace standing agent access with temporary, task-specific authority that can include policy checks, approvals, expiration, and evidence.

Question 3

Does Cridin replace our identity provider?

Accepted Answer

No. Cridin is designed to work alongside identity providers and enterprise directories. They provide identity, ownership, and lifecycle context. Cridin applies that context to autonomous actions at the point of execution.

Question 4

What happens when an agent changes?

Accepted Answer

Cridin is designed to track the approved operational version of an agent. When meaningful parts of the agent change — such as its model, prompt, tools, workflow, credentials, or data sources — its authority can be reviewed, restricted, or reapproved before it continues acting in production.

Question 5

Which actions can Cridin govern?

Accepted Answer

Cridin is designed for consequential actions: changing records in systems of record, releasing sensitive data, making commercial commitments, granting access, or taking privileged operational actions.

Question 6

Does every action need human approval?

Accepted Answer

No. Cridin supports policy-based authority. Low-risk actions can be allowed automatically within defined boundaries, while higher-risk actions can require approval, stronger constraints, or a one-time authority window.

Question 7

How does Cridin enforce decisions?

Accepted Answer

Cridin is designed to connect through a gateway, SDK, or workflow adapter at the action boundary. The goal is to check authority before a protected system receives the action.

Question 8

What evidence does Cridin create?

Accepted Answer

Cridin creates an Action Receipt that can connect the agent, version, authority, policy decision, relevant context, approval state, execution result, and outcome reference.
