# Aegis: AI Agent Governance Platform

> Aegis sits between your AI coding agents and GitHub, intercepting every tool call and enforcing policies so dangerous moves never slip through unreviewed.

Aegis gives you visibility and control over every action your AI agents take. When a coding agent calls a tool — pushing code, creating branches, merging pull requests — Aegis intercepts the request, evaluates it against your configured policies, and either allows it, rewrites it to a safer path, blocks it, or routes it to a human for approval. Every decision is logged in an immutable audit trail.

## Get started in four steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your account">
    Sign up at [app.runaegis.co](https://app.runaegis.co) with your email, Google, or GitHub account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect GitHub">
    Provide your GitHub username, user ID, and a personal access token with `repo`, `read:user`, and `workflow` scopes. Aegis uses this to inspect repositories and manage pull requests on your behalf.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a room and connect your agent">
    Create a room for the repository you want to govern, then paste the generated MCP config snippet into your AI coding tool. Aegis will start intercepting tool calls immediately.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure your policies">
    Enable or disable the governance rules that matter most to your team — from protected branch denial to secret detection. Every policy takes effect instantly.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Aegis connects to your agent via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) over Server-Sent Events (SSE). No code changes are required in your agent or repositories.
