NVIDIA has introduced an open software platform and a hardware-based reference design intended to keep AI agents within the limits set by the organizations that use them. The Open Agent Safety Platform includes OpenShell, software that controls what an agent can access, and Sentry, a watchdog in the reference design that monitors agent activity from separate hardware. Organizations can deploy elements of the platform according to their needs.
