FAQ about Airlock

QWhat is Airlock?

Airlock is a permissioned and auditable gateway for MCP that sits between AI agents and downstream tools, centralizing access policies, approvals, and audit logs.

QHow do I expose my custom API to Airlock?

Upload or reference its OpenAPI spec; Airlock ingests the endpoints and lets you set allowed operations and approval rules in one place.

QHow does Airlock handle human-in-the-loop approvals?

Policy-based workflows flag designated calls for manual review; approvers inspect the request details before the agent can proceed.

QWhich third-party integrations are supported?

25+ pre-built connectors including GitHub, Linear, Notion, Google Calendar, plus any custom OpenAPI service you add.

QCan Airlock lower token usage for my agents?

Yes—smart discovery and routing invoke only the tools that matter; users report up to 98 % token savings, though results vary by scenario.

QHow do I use Airlock locally or in dev?

Drop an airlock.yaml file and run the CLI (npx airlock-mcp or npm package) to point your AI host at the local MCP server.

QHow are credentials and security managed?

Airlock provides a credential vault, OAuth integrations, and centralized policies; refer to official docs or contact the vendor for compliance specifics.

QHow do I work with audit logs?

Every tool call, approval, and policy evaluation is logged for later search and monitoring; retention settings are configurable per deployment.
