Quayside Documentation

Quayside is a self-hosted control plane for the AI agents in your organisation. It sits between agents and the LLM providers they call, giving you:

  • a registry of every agent class that exists
  • an inline proxy that runs detection and policy checks on every call
  • per-class policies with cascade, budgets, fail-mode, and on-failure handlers
  • a complete audit trail of every call and every detector verdict
  • a shadow log that surfaces unregistered agents the moment they try to call

This documentation is for the people who will deploy, operate, and integrate with Quayside.
