Putting AI in your own data center doesn't make it sovereign if the software stack phones home, caches your data, or demands admin-level API keys. Mariete delivers the control layer — the policy and architecture that makes sovereignty real.
When you plug into a typical AI platform or agent, you surrender these without realizing it — and regulated industries can't afford any of them.
Instead of "here's an AI, we'll try to make it safe," Mariete starts from sovereignty and builds upward — every layer is an architectural guarantee, not a policy promise.
/workspace — a real computer, not a shared API endpoint.read_file, web_search, scrape_webpage — and you see every boundary crossing.Sovereignty isn't a checkbox — it's five concrete capabilities that change how the business runs AI day to day.
| Capability | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Own your AI runtime | The agent runs on your logical infrastructure with your data boundaries. It's debuggable, stoppable, and auditable — not a black box API call. |
| Control credential scope | Temporary, purpose-scoped access replaces permanent admin keys. You activate and deactivate integrations per session, per agent, per task. |
| Define data egress rules | Every boundary crossing is a declared tool call. You know exactly what data leaves, when, and why — and you can forbid it by policy. |
| Prove decisions to auditors | Complete audit trail of every agent action: tool calls, file reads, credential activations. Regulator-ready, not hand-wavy. |
| Make the platform follow your rules | Your data handling policies, retention windows, and model behavior constraints — encoded and enforced, not hoped for. |
| Run where you need it | Cloud, on-prem, or air-gapped. The control layer travels — your policies and audit trail don't change because the deployment model does. |
