Barndoor unveils AgentProfile, ending borrowed identities and blind costs for every agent. NEW YORK, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Barndoor AI, the governance platform for AI agents and MCP-connected tools, today introduced AgentProfile, a new capability in its AI agent governance platform that assigns each agent a discrete profile of its own: a unique record, a human manager, and credential sets for the tools, models and data that agent's job requires, independent of human credentials. Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence Most organizations running agents today have no single record that ties agent activities together. MCP access is usually managed in one place, model keys in another, with cost data and agent ROI generally hard to track or simply non-existent. Legacy identity systems anthropomorphize agents Legacy identity access management and governance solutions were built for humans who log in, stay authenticated, and log out or offboard when they're done. Agents behave differently. They make tool calls at machine speed, and take action at runtime. "Agents require their own governance, not something borrowed from humans," said Oren Michels, CEO and co-founder of Barndoor. "We call these models enthusiastic interns for a reason; they don't know right from wrong, they just want to do the job well, and they'll use everything they're allowed to use to get there. A human employee will pause and ask. Agents don't have judgement built in, which is why they need a governance approach of their own, not a workaround built for people." Barndoor raises the profile of every agent Identity is no longer a one-time authentication requirement. Legacy IAM grants credentials at authentication and stops there. Barndoor governs every agent operation, the tools and models agents use, how they're used and accessed. With AgentProfile, Barndoor enables organizations to fully govern agent: * Establish every agent as its own profile, ensuring every action is mapped to an agent, not a shared human or machine identity * See everything in an agent's profile: activities, tool usage, model calls, spend, and more * See what every agent is spending. Because every model call and tool call logs back to the agent's profile, organizations can see token usage and cost per agent, not pooled across a team or shared account * Continuous enforcement: every agent action is governed continuously, not granted just at sign in. Legacy IAM authorizes access once and stops watching * Set least privilege agent permissions, not inherited from the human who deployed it * Scope and create credentials that are attached to the agent profile, not a user session * See everything in an agent's profile: all agent activities, tool usage, model calls, spend, and more are tracked and monitored * Deprovision centrally. Remove an agent without impacting business continuity - cleanly remove access to all connected systems * Change policies without impacting agents. Since access policies are managed through the Barndoor platform, not in the agent's code, switching all agents from one model provider to another is a configuration change, not a code change "Barndoor is building a system that addresses how agents really operate, not retrofitted from human identity and access. It's time to sunset identity-only governance and look to the future. AgentProfile is the next piece that manages agent profiles from one record, not fragmented across different places," said Alexander Richard, Cyber Security Specialist, Syndio, the leader in Decision Intelligence for Pay.

Barndoor adds SCIM support for Okta, automating user and group provisioning. Jul 10, 2026, 08:00 ET SCIM ties Barndoor AI governance to Okta, revoking access at offboarding and surfacing policy before rollout NEW YORK, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Barndoor, the governance platform for AI agents and MCP-connected tools, today announced support for SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management), letting IT teams provision and deprovision Barndoor access directly from Okta instead of managing it as a separate step. SCIM is an open standard that lets an identity provider like Okta automatically add user and group changes to a connected application. This integration extends the Okta support Barndoor customers already have for SSO. SCIM adds another channel so Okta pushes users and group changes to Barndoor the moment they happen, from provisioning to deprovisioning an account the moment it's removed from the group. Built on top of the identity provider you already have SCIM support extends identity work Barndoor already supports. Barndoor connects to any identity provider that supports OIDC or SAML 2.0, including Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Ping Identity, Google Workspace, Auth0, and OneLogin, to handle SSO and provisioning for groups and roles without disrupting a customer's existing setup. Available now through the Okta Integration Network Barndoor is now listed in the Okta Integration Network, Okta's catalog of pre-built app integrations. From the Okta Admin Console, an admin browses the App Catalog, adds Barndoor, and turns on SCIM provisioning and group push in a few steps. See the Okta SCIM setup guide for the full walkthrough. About Barndoor AI Barndoor is the AI agent governance platform built for enterprises. Barndoor gives IT and security teams the visibility and fine-grained access control they need to govern AI agents across every tool, team, and platform, routing and observing every model call, keeping LLM spend predictable, and blocking PII leaks and prompt injections before they reach a model or a tool.

Barndoor AI CEO Oren Michels warns that the proliferation of enterprise AI agents using Anthropic's MCP protocol is creating a governance crisis, with tens of thousands of MCP servers circulating, some containing malware. The company offers a control plane that inspects every large language model and MCP call before it accesses corporate systems like Salesforce, Gmail or Jira. Michels, founder of API management company Mashery, is applying similar principles to AI agent management. The issue stems from agentic AI systems being connected to corporate infrastructure through the MCP protocol, creating potential security vulnerabilities. Barndoor AI aims to provide a centralised solution for managing and securing these AI interactions across enterprise systems.
