# Dome documentation

> Connect, govern, and operate AI agents with Dome

Production agents need to know which agent acted, what it was allowed to reach, whether sensitive data left the boundary, and how to prove it afterward.

Dome gives each agent an identity, enforces Rules, Guards, and Quotas on every request, protects backend credentials, and records an attributable audit trail.
