One integration point. Every stakeholder served.

The same action matters to security, product, compliance, finance, operations, engineering, leadership, and audit — simultaneously, for different reasons. Each perspective generates requirements. hiitl serves all of them through a single control boundary.

The scan runs as a CLI tool, a Claude Code skill, or through the GitHub App, executing in your own environment. hiitl identifies action points, governance gaps, and regulatory exposure — no tokens burned on our side for complex codebases, no IP exposure, and you maintain control of your code. The scan output is the foundation for every path: implementation, services delivery, or compliance proof.

The Problem Most Teams Don't See

Your agents have rules. Rate limits, approval thresholds, workflow requirements, compliance constraints. Where do those rules live?

If they're in your system prompt, they're suggestions. The model reads them, weighs them against the current task, and sometimes follows them. Sometimes doesn't.

Context-window guidance is probabilistic. Infrastructure-layer policy is deterministic.

hiitl moves the rules that must be enforced from the context window — where they compete for attention — to the control point — where they're gates.

from hiitl import HIITL

hiitl = HIITL()

result = hiitl.evaluate("send_email", parameters={
    "recipient": "external@partner.com",
    "recipient_type": "external",
    "contains_pii": False,
})

if result.allowed:
    send_email(...)

Every action. Every parameter. Every decision. One place.

From your codebase to full governance. Two PRs.

Your total effort: two PR reviews to go from zero to governed.

01

Scan

One command

Run the codebase scan. hiitl identifies every point where your system takes real-world action — tool calls, API requests, database writes, external service invocations.

PR #1 — Integrate

One PR review

Merge the integration PR. Adds evaluate() wrappers around your action points. Your system is now observable — every action logged, behavior unchanged.

Everything your AI system needs to run safely, scale confidently, and stay compliant.

Enforcement

Deterministic policy evaluation. Rules compose — a fraud score from one rule can trigger a compliance check from another.

Human Collaboration

Any policy can require approval. hiitl pauses the action, routes it to your tools, resumes when the decision comes back.

Hybrid by default

Policy evaluation runs locally in your process — sub-millisecond latency with no network round-trips. The hosted service syncs policies, collects telemetry, and provides the management layer.

Architecturally neutral

Works with any agent framework, any LLM provider, any orchestration pattern. hiitl is additive — three lines of code, no architecture changes.

Deterministic

Decisions are made by rules and explicit signals, not by another LLM making a judgment call. Predictable, auditable, debuggable.

Frequently asked questions

Policy evaluation runs locally in your environment — single-digit milliseconds, no network call. External services are only invoked when a specific policy routes a specific action to them. Background services (monitoring, compliance, billing) are async and add zero latency. Most actions evaluate against local policy and proceed immediately.

hiitl works with LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, MCP, LlamaIndex, and custom frameworks. The SDK wraps your existing tool calls. Your framework handles orchestration. hiitl handles control. They’re complementary — hiitl operates underneath your framework, not inside it.

Local evaluation continues. The SDK evaluates policy in-process without any cloud dependency. If the hosted platform is unreachable, cloud sync pauses but enforcement continues locally. Configurable fail-open or fail-closed per policy. Your system never stops because of hiitl.

With the free SDK: yes, you author policies in YAML. With the Pro tier: no. hiitl’s intelligence layer generates policies from observing your system, calibrated to your actual traffic. You review and adjust. You can also mix — accept generated policies for some areas and write custom policies for others.

Only what you send in the evaluate() envelope. The developer controls exactly which fields are included. Sensitive parameters can be redacted or hashed. Local-only mode means no data leaves your environment at all. Cloud sync is opt-in per field.

Framework HITL is a checkpoint the developer places at specific points in the agent’s execution graph. It exists where you decided to put it, works within one framework, and handles the approval/denial at that node. hiitl is infrastructure that every action passes through — governed by policy, working across all frameworks, with rate limiting, kill switches, service connections, compliance mapping, and audit trails that framework-level checkpoints don’t provide.

The codebase scan is free and runs in your environment. The open-source control point is free forever with no caps. The Pro tier has a 14-day free trial. Everything you build during the trial keeps working on the free tier — you’d lose ongoing automation, not your control layer.

The core control point — evaluate(), policy engine, enforcement, collaboration, route connections, local storage — is open source. Run it locally in production, forever, for free. The hosted platform (cloud sync, intelligence layer, managed services delivery, compliance infrastructure) is a paid service built on top of the open-source core.

No. Rules in system prompts are probabilistic guidance — the model reads them and decides whether to follow them based on the current context. Sometimes the rule wins. Sometimes the task wins. hiitl moves the rules that must be enforced from the context window to the control point, where they’re enforced unconditionally — without taking away the reasoning guidance the model still needs.

Two disciplines. Context engineering is how you make agents smart — system prompts, memories, skill files, examples. Probabilistic by design, because you want the model to weigh guidance against the situation. The control point is how you make agents reliable — financial thresholds, rate limits, workflow requirements, compliance gates. Deterministic by design, because “the model sometimes skipped it” is unacceptable. hiitl is the deterministic discipline. You bring the context engineering. We deliver the gates and the managed governance around them.
