mandare
The trust network for AI agents
mandare.ai
Aditya Naidu · aditya@mandare.ai
The Problem
AI agents are everywhere.
Nobody knows which ones to trust.
90%
of AI agents are over-permissioned
86%
of orgs have zero visibility into agent behavior
14%
of companies have any approval process before deploying an agent
0
companies sharing trust data across organizations
The Blind Spot
Security vendors see their own customers.
Nobody sees the whole picture.
Why Now
The EU AI Act enforces August 2, 2026.
5 months away.
7%
of global revenue — the penalty for non-compliance
40-80
agents per company already — and growing fast
$0
spent by most companies on agent security today
0
tools that share trust data across companies
The Solution
Mandare is the crowdsourced
trust network for AI agents
Verify any agent. Score any tool. See what the ecosystem sees.
How It Works
From zero visibility to ecosystem intelligence
1
Run mandare scan to discover all agents in your infrastructure
2
Each agent gets a unique identity. Anonymized behavioral data flows into the trust network.
3
Query trust scores powered by data from thousands of organizations
4
"Has this agent been flagged? By how many orgs? What did it do?"

Why This Can't Be Copied
A network isn't a feature.
You can't build it by adding a button.
More companies = better data
Company 1 sees their agents. Company 100 sees the whole ecosystem. Same playbook as VirusTotal and credit bureaus.
No one else has cross-company data
Every competitor only sees inside one company. We aggregate trust signals across all of them.
Competitors can't share data
Enterprise security vendors are built to keep customer data siloed. Sharing goes against their entire business model.
