Agents built by the business, understood like the rest
Business teams now build their own agents in automation platforms, connected to the CRM, the finance system and the shared drive. Geordie finds them where they are built, maps what each one can reach and who owns it, and applies controls that keep the work going, so the business can keep building without security reviewing every flow by hand.

The agents that never pass through a deployment pipeline
Engineering teams ship agents through pipelines, with reviews and registries. Workflow agents arrive differently: a finance analyst assembles one in a SaaS tool, a marketing team wires one into their campaign platform, and a support lead builds a triage agent over a weekend. None of them pass through a pipeline, so none of them appear in an inventory built from one.
In one company we spoke to, agents were being built in cyber, IT, finance and commercial teams at once, and nobody could say how many there were. The organizations handling this well have stopped reviewing agents one at a time. They approve patterns and building blocks instead, and put the gate at the point an agent is shared with a team or wired into a live process, reopening the review when an agent moves from reading data to writing it.
Easy to build, easy to share and easy to forget
Built where IT does not look
Workflow agents live inside SaaS platforms the business administers, outside the devices and pipelines most inventories read from.
They inherit their builder's access
A shared team agent can carry everything its creator could reach, and keep it after the creator moves on.
Wired into the data that matters
Connectors to the CRM, finance systems and shared drives give a simple flow a long reach into sensitive data.
Switched on once, never switched off
The usual retirement process is asking the builder to delete it, which stops working the day they leave.
Visibility and controls that keep pace with the business
Find every workflow agent, whoever built it
Geordie connects to the SaaS and automation platforms where business teams build agents through their APIs, and reaches agents working inside web apps through a browser extension. Workflow agents appear in the same inventory as engineered ones, each tied to a platform, a department and an owner.
See every connector, knowledge base and permission
Each workflow agent is mapped to the connectors, knowledge bases and data sources behind it, along with the identity it runs under. A flow that can write to a system of record stands out from one that only reads a public document, which is where review effort should go.
Wood Partners mapped the MCP servers, knowledge bases and connectors behind each of its agents, detail it could not track consistently any other way.
Approve by pattern instead of one flow at a time
Geordie scores each agent's risk from what it is connected to and what it actually does, so read-only, low-reach flows can move through a fast lane while the review queue only sees the agents that warrant one. Policies set by department, role and use case let the same platform carry different controls for different teams.

Guide the flow instead of breaking it
Beam shapes what a workflow agent does through its own configuration and context, so a flow reaching for data outside its purpose can be steered away while the task carries on. Business teams keep the automation they built, and security keeps the boundary it needs.
“Without visibility, you can't accept risk. You can only block it.”
One record across every kind of agent
Most estates run all five. Geordie covers them in a single inventory.
