NVIDIA launches Open Agent Safety Platform for controlling agents
Permission enforcement for agents is moving from application code into hardware, with BlueField-4 providing an oversight layer the agent itself cannot tamper with. Teams deploying long-running agents in production can use this to set access boundaries rather than relying on prompt-level guardrails alone. It positions NVIDIA as both the compute and the control plane for enterprise agent deployments.
NVIDIA announced the Open Agent Safety Platform, designed to define what AI agents can access and do while they run for hours or days on complex tasks.
NVIDIA OpenShell enforces permissions around the agent's work environment.BlueField-4 with DOCA adds independent monitoring and security controls at the infrastructure level, outside the agent's reach.
Vera CPUs provide the compute layer powering the agents themselves.
We’ve launched NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform to help people control what AI agents can access and do.
Agents can write code, use tools, and work on complex tasks for hours or days. That work requires access to data and systems, along with clear limits on how they’re used.
NVIDIA OpenShell enforces permissions around the agent’s work. BlueField-4 and DOCA add independent monitoring and security controls in the infrastructure, outside the agent’s reach. Vera CPUs power the work itself.
Together, these technologies give teams a foundation for putting agents to work with defined permissions, oversight, and protection.
