Run your agent through Sentry

Instead of running your agent directly:

python my_agent.py

Run it through Sentry:

vaultak-sentry run python my_agent.py

That is the only change. Works with any language:

# Python
vaultak-sentry run --name my-agent python my_agent.py

# Node.js
vaultak-sentry run --name my-agent node my_agent.js

# Any executable
vaultak-sentry run --name my-agent ./my_agent

With custom thresholds:

vaultak-sentry run --name my-agent --alert-threshold 30 --pause-threshold 60 --rollback-threshold 85 python my_agent.py

Block specific resources:

vaultak-sentry run --name my-agent --block "*.env" "prod.*" python my_agent.py

Configure thresholds

Threshold	Default	Behavior
Alert	30	Log event and send notification
Pause	60	Halt agent, queue for human review
Rollback	85	Auto-reverse state, halt agent

Thresholds can be adjusted at any time without restarting the app.

What Sentry monitors

Network connections, every outbound API call and external service connection
File system, reads, writes, and deletes by agent processes
LLM API calls, requests to OpenAI, Anthropic, and other providers
Process activity, subprocesses spawned by agents

Privacy

Sentry monitors that actions occur, it does not read file contents or environment variable values. Data sent to Vaultak servers: action type, resource path or hostname, timestamp, and risk score only.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to modify my agent code? No. Sentry monitors at the network and OS level. Will Sentry slow down my agent? No. Sentry runs as a separate background process and does not intercept or delay agent actions. I see a security warning on macOS. Is this normal? Yes. Right-click the installer and select Open to bypass the Gatekeeper warning. This is standard for apps not yet signed with an Apple Developer certificate. Can I use Sentry and Core together? Yes. Events from both products appear in the same dashboard.
