Back to Platform OverviewTier 1: Visibility

You Can't Govern What You Can't See

Continuously discover every AI agent and MCP server across your enterprise. The foundation of Agent Runtime Governance starts with complete visibility.

The Visibility Gap

Many enterprises do not yet have complete visibility into how many AI agents are operating in their environments. Continuous discovery is where that changes.

Shadow AI Agents

Teams deploy AI agents and MCP servers independently. Nobody has a centralized view of what is running, where, or what it can access.

No Visibility

Without a complete inventory, you cannot answer the most basic governance question: which agents are active right now, and what are they authorized to do?

Unregistered MCP Servers

MCP servers expose tools and resources to agents. Unregistered servers mean untracked capabilities, unverified trust, and ungoverned access.

How It Works

From discovery to registry to trust management. Complete visibility over your agent ecosystem.

Continuous Discovery

Automatically find AI agents and MCP servers across your entire environment: cloud, on-premises, Kubernetes, and containers. Discovery runs continuously, not as a one-time scan.

Centralized Registry

Every discovered agent and MCP server is registered with identity, trust state, capabilities, and ownership. One source of truth for your entire agent ecosystem.

Trust Lifecycle Management

Agents and servers move through verified trust states: discovered, verified, trusted, quarantined, or revoked. Unverified assets are flagged. Compromised assets are isolated immediately.

Capability Mapping

Know exactly what tools and resources each agent can access and what actions it can perform. Map the full blast radius of every autonomous actor in your environment.

Key Outcomes

Complete inventory of all AI agents and MCP servers across your environment

Elimination of shadow AI agent risk

Continuous, real-time visibility into agent proliferation

Trust state tracking for every autonomous actor

Capability mapping for blast radius analysis

Foundation for authorization and policy enforcement

Grounded in Governance Principles

Every capability traces back to the 12 non-negotiable principles for Agent Runtime Governance.

Common questions

How does Watchlight discover AI agents and MCP servers?

Beacon continuously discovers AI agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers across your environment: cloud, on-premises, Kubernetes and containers. Discovery runs continuously rather than as a one-time scan, so newly deployed agents and servers are found as they appear.

Why do unregistered MCP servers matter?

MCP servers expose tools and resources to agents. An unregistered server means untracked capabilities, unverified trust and ungoverned access. Beacon registers every discovered MCP server and agent with identity, trust state, capabilities and ownership, giving you one source of truth for your agent ecosystem.

What trust states can an agent or MCP server be in?

Discovered, verified, trusted, quarantined or revoked. Unverified assets are flagged, and compromised assets are isolated immediately. Capability mapping shows what tools and resources each agent can reach, so you can see the blast radius of every autonomous actor.
