Your AI agents are only as powerful as the tools they can access

Most platforms give you a handful of prebuilt options and call it a day. That is not how enterprises work.

Most platforms give you a handful of prebuilt options and call it a day. That is not how enterprises work.

Alphient gives agents a unified tool catalogue with four tool types:

Global Prebuilt Tools

  • Web search, document processing, news, weather — ready out of the box
  • Admin-managed, globally available to every agent

Custom Python Tools

  • Write custom functions stored and executed securely
  • Isolated namespace execution with compilation validation
  • 5-tier RBAC visibility: own, project, department, org, global

API Connector Tools

  • Declarative REST API configuration — no code required
  • GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE with API key, Bearer, or Basic auth
  • JSON path response extraction, test before saving, auto-generated sample code

MCP Server Tools

  • Model Context Protocol with SSE and Streamable HTTP transports
  • Tool allowlist/blocklist filtering and description prefixing
  • Persistent async session pooling for production reliability

Plus a credential vault that stores API keys and tokens separately from tools, masked in responses, referenced by ID.

One catalogue. Four tool types. Every integration secured.
