Standardize secure agent deployment across every team.

When agents show up across your org, you need one way to deploy them securely and one place to set and prove policy — not a different answer per team. Crawdad gives you central policy, a scope hierarchy, cryptographically signed commands, and fleet-wide governance from a self-hosted console, with each team's content staying on its own machines.

Self-hosted; devices dial outbound, so machines behind NAT need no inbound reachability.

Standardize secure agent deployment and policy across teams.

You're the one who has to make agent security consistent, deployable, and auditable at scale. Crawdad is built for that: policy authored once and pushed to a scope, applied and confirmed on each device, with a verifiable record — not a tool each team configures its own way.

Central policy, scope hierarchy

Author charters and policy once; push to a team or the whole org; hierarchical resolution with locked floors a lower level can't weaken.

Signed commands, confirmed application

Every policy change is signed by the console and verified on each device before it applies — and devices confirm back when it's applied, so you see "applied on N of M devices," not just "sent."

Deploy through your existing tooling

Native macOS PKG and Windows MSI that auto-enroll; Intune, Jamf, SCCM, GPO documented. Self-hosted console, one command to deploy.

Content stays on each machine

Only metadata leaves, and only if turned on — so standardizing security doesn't create a central data-breach surface.

RBAC + verifiable audit

Scoped roles, and a hash-chained record an outside party can verify.

What Crawdad standardizes, and what it doesn't replace

Crawdad standardizes the agent-action layer. It doesn't replace your identity provider, secrets management, endpoint management, or CI/CD security — it's the consistent runtime-enforcement and evidence layer for agents across them.
