Security

What we see, what we never see.

FlockTab sits in front of spend: caps, policies and the ledger run in the proxy, not in the agent. Here is exactly where your prompts and keys go, hosted and self-hosted. A plain threat model, not a compliance brochure.

Self-hosted: nothing sensitive leaves

Run tab up and the proxy lives on your machine. Prompts, replies, provider keys and subscription logins go straight to the provider; flocktab.com only sees the model, token counts and cents it needs to keep the tab.

Hosted: keys we cannot open alone

Provider keys are AES-256-GCM ciphertext at rest, opened only in the proxy, per call, with an unlock secret your agent sends and we never store. Prompts pass through in memory and are never stored or logged.

Virtual keys

Agents hold an ft_live_ key, never your provider key. It is stored as a SHA-256 hash and shown once. Revoke is instant: every request checks it.

Fail closed

The ledger is integer cents in Postgres. If it cannot be reached, the call is refused before the provider. An agent is stopped, never left spending unmetered.

Kill switch

Close one tab or the whole flock and the next call is refused. A leaked virtual key can spend at most what is left on its tab.

Irreversible tools

Payments, sending email, deletes and production deploys are denied unless you allow them, and then only while $25.00 of the cap remains. A tool FlockTab does not know is treated as a write, not a read.

Audit, not transcripts

Each decision is recorded: agent, tool, cents, allowed or refused, and why. Prompt and reply bodies are never stored.

One call, one charge

A retried request never opens a second upstream call against the same hold, so a retry storm cannot double-spend.

The console

Passkeys and authenticator-app two-factor are free on every plan. Fleet adds SSO (OIDC or SAML), SCIM, roles checked on every request, and an audit log. The console cannot be framed by another site.

Not yet

No SOC 2 report yet, no deployment in your own VPC, and no customer-managed encryption keys. Self-hosting the proxy is the answer we have today for keeping keys and prompts in your hands. Questions about any of this: hello@flocktab.com.
