Arcade is an actions runtime that sits between your AI agents and the systems they can affect. If you’re trying to move from demos to real workflows like updating records, closing tickets, or sending messages, it gives you a single control point to enforce security and governance for every action.
It’s built for enterprise teams, especially security, identity, and platform owners who need auditability and policy control while product teams keep shipping agent features.
Arcade is positioned as an answer to common agent security failures, like relying on service accounts with shared credentials, inheriting broad user permissions without clear boundaries, or building custom governance infrastructure for each tool or agent.
It also supports deployment on your terms (cloud, VPC, on-prem, or air-gapped). For compliance, it states SOC 2 compliance, with SSO, RBAC, and audit logs available out of the box.
If you’re specifically adopting MCP tools, Arcade is designed as the MCP runtime layer that handles authentication, authorization, policy enforcement, and execution so your agents can take real actions without you building internal integration and governance infrastructure.
