Need-to-know access control so Copilots, coding agents, and MCP tools stop oversharing.

Proof of life. Raised $11M to ship need-to-know controls for enterprise AI, March 2025

Knostic's bet is that most enterprise AI leaks are authorization bugs, not jailbreaks. It discovers agents and IDE add-ons, then enforces need-to-know on what they can retrieve from M365, Glean, and similar stores. AgentMesh extends that to MCP servers, skills, and editor extensions, which is the identity layer those tools still do not have natively.
