# Quickstart - Vaultak Sentry

## Download

Download the installer for your platform from [vaultak.com/download](https://vaultak.com/download):

## Run your agent through Sentry

Instead of running your agent directly:

```bash theme={null}
python my_agent.py
```

Run it through Sentry:

```bash theme={null}
vaultak-sentry run python my_agent.py
```

That is the only change. Works with any language:

```bash theme={null}
# 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:

```bash theme={null}
vaultak-sentry run --name my-agent --alert-threshold 30 --pause-threshold 60 --rollback-threshold 85 python my_agent.py
```

Block specific resources:

```bash theme={null}
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.
