year the platform was created

Appstrate is the open source platform to run AI agents, created by TRACTR. Each agent works in an isolated container, never sees the credentials of the services it uses, and every run is traced. TRACTR uses it every day in its own operations.

Context and challenges

The most capable coding agents run on a developer’s machine: one agent per person, with their own access, hard to share, control or audit. TRACTR created Appstrate to run them centrally: each run is isolated, access is managed by role and credentials are never exposed to the model. The platform is open and follows an open packaging standard (AFPS) that describes an agent as code.

What we did

One isolated container per run

Each run starts in a fresh Docker environment, destroyed at the end. Hardware isolation through a micro virtual machine is available as an option.

Credentials the model never sees

A proxy injects access to services (OAuth 2.0, API key…): the agent works with Gmail, Slack, ClickUp, Notion or Stripe without ever reading the token.

Agents described as code

An agent is a versioned package, with its instructions, skills and tools, following the open AFPS standard: it can be reviewed, versioned and moved from one host to another.
