Durable Execution
How does durable execution handle security for AI agent workflows?
Durable execution in Catalyst integrates workload identity and MCP tool authorization to enforce policies on which agent identities can call which tools. It persists execution history for auditing, but does not encrypt step data by default—you must configure encryption at rest or in transit. Security guarantees are limited to identity and policy enforcement; you still manage secrets and access controls separately.
