TEND / Docs
Connect an agent and verify one real action
The Connect page in TEND walks you through four steps. Everything it shows comes from what TEND really recorded; nothing is simulated.
Your first agent
Create
Name the agent. TEND creates it and its key, shown once.
Permissions
Choose Allow, Ask me first or Never for each tool. Everything starts blocked.
Connect and test
Paste one command where the agent runs, then allow or deny its test request in TEND.
Result
TEND reports verified only when the approval was spent and the gateway recorded the call for that same approval.
What you need
- A TEND account (beta accounts are approved by hand).
- Node 18 or newer and a Unix-style shell where the agent runs.
- For real protection: the agent must not hold the credentials for what it asks to do.
- HTTPS for anything beyond a local test.
