Elisity today launched the Elisity CLI, an open command-line interface that lets security and network teams run their own AI agents against the Elisity platform. Teams can script discovery, manage Zero Trust least-privilege access policies, and pull posture reports, then point their own AI orchestrators at the platform to keep checking that segmentation controls still hold.
Plenty of security vendors now ship AI agents that customers can’t see inside. Elisity does the reverse. Security teams point whatever agent they already run at an open interface, and built-in guardrails stop that agent from acting on a guess or making a change nobody approved. Because every action runs on identity through Elisity IdentityGraph™, an agent works from many data points Elisity has already ingested and correlated, so it can tell what a device really is instead of guessing from an IP address. Teams automate only what they want, and a person signs off before anything changes.
Elisity built a command-line interface rather than a Model Context Protocol server by design. An MCP server is a standing, privileged connection into the platform, and it widens what an agent can reach by default. That pattern has drawn steady scrutiny from security researchers, and it asks a security team to run one more always-on service inside the environment it is trying to protect. A CLI inverts the model. It runs only when it is called, it runs under the caller’s own credentials and permissions, and every state-changing command stops for human approval. The concern is not theoretical. In July 2025, researchers disclosed CVE-2025-6514, rated 9.6 out of 10, in mcp-remote, a connector downloaded more than 437,000 times: a malicious MCP server could run operating system commands on the machine that connected to it, the first documented remote code execution against an MCP client.
Elisity built the CLI for teams that want to run the platform programmatically and stand up their own agentic workflows:
- 466 commands covering the Elisity Cloud Control Center API, plus reporting on Zero Trust posture scores, per-site metrics, and traffic and threat vectors.
- An operating guide and command glossary for AI agents like Claude or ChatGPT, so an agent runs a real command instead of inventing one.
- Human approval on every state-changing command, and a separate confirmation for deletes.
- Output in JSON, table, YAML, or CSV, with profiles for production, staging, and lab.
Customer use of Elisity Intelligence, the platform’s optional AI, has climbed steadily through 2026. The number of customer organizations using it grew 77% between April and June, and the heaviest use is in policy work, device lookups, and the overview dashboard, where the daily work happens. Nothing about it runs on its own. Administrators decide what’s on, and every recommendation waits for a person to approve it before anything changes. Customers running it already include GSK, Main Line Health, and MultiCare Health System, this year’s CSO Award winner.
Elisity offers the CLI to customers today. Teams that want to wire up their own agents can request access through their Elisity account team. Elisity’s AI capabilities data sheet explains how Elisity Intelligence works, and you can request a demo to see the platform.
