Introducing AgentMesh Access Tiers: Building Together, Growing Together (2026-07-27) commercialSummary
Knostic is a commercial AI access control platform, run as a hosted service, that manages and enforces need-to-know permissions for enterprise AI systems such as Microsoft Copilot, stopping those tools from surfacing data to employees who should not see it. It is aimed at security and compliance teams responsible for governing what internal AI assistants can retrieve, rather than at the developers building those assistants. Pricing scales with that audience: a free tier for evaluation and trial API access, a $15/user/month Premium tier with a bundled endpoint agent, an $850/user/month Pro tier for production pipelines and commercial integrations, and custom Enterprise deployment for larger teams. It sits in the emerging genai-security space addressing data oversharing rather than competing with a named incumbent, and with four releases since its 2023 launch and the latest just 17 days old, it is under active development.
What Knostic answers
Which enterprise AI systems can this actually enforce permissions on?
the material only names Microsoft Copilot as a supported target, so confirm coverage for any other assistant before assuming it applies
What does it cost to get past a trial-limited setup?
pricing moves from free tiers capped at a few hundred items and calls per month, through a per-user Premium plan, to an $850/user/month Pro tier, with an Enterprise tier for 10+ users at custom pricing
Can security researchers evaluate this without buying licenses first?
a no-login free tier and a signed-in free tier both exist, giving limited catalog access and a small monthly allowance of API calls before any purchase
Does adopting this mean deploying an agent everywhere?
a Kirin endpoint agent license is bundled from Premium up, and an IDE license appears at Pro, so plan for agent or IDE footprint rather than a purely external scan
Is this mature enough to bet a rollout on?
it launched in 2023 with four tracked releases and a release as recent as 17 days ago, suggesting active but still-young development
How does access scale from a pilot to a full engineering org?
the tiers step from per-item and per-call caps at the free levels to unlimited API access at Pro, so a pilot on the capped tiers will hit limits before a wider rollout would
