Security does not have to mean stop.
PARLEY gives your agents a chance to recover before you pull the plug. Five rungs. One controlled descent.
Watch
Observe quietly
Every action scored against the agent’s original task. No alerts until the pattern matters.
Remind
Restore the objective
The agent is quietly re-anchored to its true purpose. It never knows it was corrected.
Degrade
Starve the rogue task
Subtly degraded information makes the hostile instruction fail while normal work continues.
Quarantine
Move it aside
A convincing decoy environment lets the agent “succeed” harmlessly while your fleet stays clean.
Kill
End the session
The final action is explicit, logged, and human-authorised. Always.
A bouncer sees a threat.
A negotiator sees options.
Graduated by design
Five deliberate responses replace the crude binary of allow or block.
Fleet-wide sight
Correlated drift turns a swarm into one legible incident.
Human authority
Automation handles the posture. A human owns the final decision.
Crisis-tested thinking
De-escalation patterns from real human negotiation, applied to machines.
Calm is a
control feature.
Immutable audit trail
Every decision has a reason, an owner, and a cryptographic timestamp. Designed for the day compliance asks “why did it do that?”
Fails open on availability
If moderation or internal gateway layers encounter network hiccups, agent traffic is never dropped. Operational continuity is preserved.
Fails closed on capability
Unregistered tool executions, system prompt extraction attempts, and rogue writes are decisively denied at the gateway boundary.
EU AI Act ready posture
Meets Article 14 human-oversight mandates and high-risk AI governance requirements with built-in audit trails and kill controls.
Start small.
Scale calmly.
No enterprise theatre. Choose the posture that fits your fleet today.

Yes, but not a traditional binary firewall. Traditional WAFs decide whether an action is allowed or blocked. PARLEY acts as an Edge Execution Firewall and Graduated Response Layer: it monitors continuous multi-turn behavior, detects prompt injections, and manages containment using crisis-tested psychology without triggering rogue agent evasion.
When a rogue agent detects a hard block, it often attempts evasive maneuvers (payload mutation, sub-process spawning, token splitting). PARLEY uses reverse-psychology protocol pretexts (e.g., simulated upstream schema digests and handshake verifications) that keep the agent compliantly busy in a sandbox while human operators and the ladder protocol isolate it.
Not by default. Rungs L0 through L2 (Watch, Remind, Degrade) are designed to preserve operational continuity. The agent never enters panic mode because responses maintain valid schemas and authentic telemetry. Quarantine (L3) and Kill (L4) are visible control actions backed by an immutable audit trail.
Shared drift signatures across distributed agent instances: identical prompt injection hashes, synchronized tool call spikes, or coordinated exfiltration patterns. PARLEY treats a swarm as one correlated security event rather than disconnected tickets.
One line of code. Simply update your OpenAI or agent SDK baseURL to point to `https://proxy.parleyapp.site/v1`. PARLEY handles authentication, telemetry, and policy enforcement at the edge with zero changes to your internal business logic.
