How Agentbeam handles your data

Agentbeam watches AI agent activity for a living, so how it handles the data it collects matters as much as what it catches. Local-first by design, redacted before it's written, and honest about what it isn't — yet.

What Agentbeam stores, and where

  • Local by default

    Activity is recorded to local NDJSON files in a directory with restricted (mode 0700) permissions on the machine Agentbeam runs on — not a database somewhere else.

  • Redacted before it's written

    Known credential formats — API keys, tokens, private keys — are redacted before anything touches disk.

  • Bounded retention

    The collector retains the latest 10,000 events and 500 scan reports. It's a single-process local prototype, not fleet storage.

  • Only what you point it at

    No background OS surveillance, no browser extension, no automatic skill installation. Uninstrumented tools are invisible to it.

Export integrity

Exports carry SHA-256 hashes. That establishes internal consistency — the record wasn’t altered after export — not authenticity or completeness, and not a compliance certification. An event log is evidence an auditor can review, not a pass. See AI compliance and regulation for agent activity for the fuller version of this.

FAQ

Does Agentbeam send my data to the cloud?

No, by default. Agentbeam is local-first — activity is recorded to local NDJSON files on the machine it runs on, in a directory with restricted (mode 0700) permissions. Nothing is sent off-device unless you explicitly configure an export.

Is Agentbeam SOC 2 certified?

No. Agentbeam is an early, local-first prototype — it is not SOC 2 certified and does not claim to be. Export hashes establish internal consistency of a record, not a compliance certification.

How do I report a security issue?

Email [email protected]. We ask that you not publicly disclose a vulnerability before we've had a chance to address it.

Does Agentbeam redact credentials before storing them?

Yes. Known credential formats (API keys, tokens, private keys) are redacted before anything is written to disk.
