Vouched, the leader in AI-powered identity verification, has launched Agent Checkpoint, a comprehensive platform that brings transparency, security, and control to the emerging era of agentic commerce. Building on the May 2025 release of Agent Shield, Agent Checkpoint provides website operators with full-suite agent identification, authentication, permissioning, and governance capabilities.

  • Vouched launches Agent Checkpoint as the flagship of its Know Your Agent (KYA) suite to manage AI agent interactions on websites.
  • The platform enables secure human-to-agent delegation, real-time detection, classification, and governance of AI agents accessing sites.
  • Key features include OAuth-based authentication, precise permission controls, legal authorization requirements, instant revocation, and full audit trails.
  • Agent Checkpoint addresses the rapid rise of AI agent traffic (0.5% to 16% of incoming sessions across Vouched customers) while reducing fraud risk.
  • The KYA suite also includes MCP-I (open standard for agent identity), Know That AI public registry, and Identiclaw for limited-permission autonomous actions.
  • The solution allows organizations to embrace agent-driven revenue and automation without compromising security or trust.

As intelligent AI agents increasingly perform tasks, complete purchases, and interact on behalf of humans or other agents, websites face unprecedented challenges in distinguishing trusted agents from malicious ones. Traditional cybersecurity rules no longer apply when agents use legitimate human credentials to access systems, creating blind spots for fraud, unauthorized commitments, and compliance risks.

Peter Horadan, CEO of Vouched said, “Agents are breaking all the prior rules of cybersecurity. Agent Checkpoint gives businesses the clarity and confidence to know exactly who, or what, they’re dealing with.”

Rosalyn Curato, Chief Innovation Officer & GM of Agentic Security at Vouched said, “We are moving from a world where humans are the primary consumer to one in which AI agents transact at scale. Agent Checkpoint sits at the center of this shift by establishing the trust required for organizations to lean into agentic commerce with confidence. Enterprises shouldn’t have to choose between innovation and risk, and now they don’t have to.”

Enabling Secure Agentic Commerce

Agent Checkpoint empowers website operators to:

  • Authenticate human-to-agent interactions securely via OAuth.
  • Allow users to define granular permissions for what actions agents can perform.
  • Require explicit legal authorization before agents can make binding commitments.
  • Instantly revoke permissions when needed.
  • Maintain comprehensive audit trails for compliance, security reviews, and dispute resolution.

These capabilities help organizations reduce agentic fraud while unlocking new revenue streams from trusted AI-driven interactions. The broader Know Your Agent (KYA) suite establishes open standards and transparency tools, including the MCP-I protocol (built on Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol), a public registry for trusted agents, and Identiclaw for auditable, limited-permission agent actions.

By setting this new benchmark for agent identity management, Vouched enables enterprises to confidently adopt agentic automation across industries while maintaining security, compliance, and user control.
