What agents can do

Set what each agent can do in every bucket.

Each bucket gets one of three levels: Off, Read, or Full use. Anything not allowed is denied.

Off
No access
The agent can't see the bucket or that it exists.
Read
Read-only
The agent can read and list the files in that bucket. It can't change anything.
Full use
Upload and update
The agent can upload and update files in that bucket.

Some actions stay off until explicitly turned on

Each one removes files for good or changes who can reach them, so it could override the limits set on individual buckets.

Set up & manage

Connect once. Manage everyone from there.

Connect once, then control access person by person. No new keys to hand out.

Step 1 · Set up

Connect once, company-wide

An admin connects your company's Backblaze a single time and chooses which buckets it covers. Any bucket left out stays out of reach for every agent.

Step 2 · Manage

Control access per person and agent

From one dashboard, set what every person and their agents can reach. Change it any time, with no new keys for anyone.

OffNo access
ReadRead-only
Full useRead, upload, and update files in a single bucket
Example

A file upload agent.

A storage agent uploads to backups and can read media, but it can't open the archive bucket or delete files.

The security model

Top-tier security.

Bollard AI is access control for AI agents. It sits between your agents and Backblaze B2, so they never hold your Backblaze B2 keys and never reach Backblaze B2 directly.

Everything runs through Bollard AI

Agents send their requests to Bollard AI, not to Backblaze B2. Bollard AI checks each one against your rules and passes only the allowed requests through.

Denied by default

Every bucket starts off-limits, and making one public is held back on top of that. An agent gets in only where you've allowed it, and anything Bollard AI doesn't recognise is refused and held for review, never waved through on a guess.

Your keys stay sealed

Your Backblaze B2 keys are sealed in a vault unique to your company and never shown again. Bollard AI unlocks them only for the instant an allowed request needs it.

Activity you can read

Every attempt is recorded in plain English: who or which agent, what they tried, which bucket or file, and the decision. The record is readable and can't be edited after the fact.

Questions

Backblaze B2, answered.

Does connecting Backblaze hand Bollard AI all your files?+
Only what's connected. An admin chooses which buckets Bollard AI covers, and that sets the most any agent could reach. Bollard AI doesn't browse or copy your files. It sits in front of them and checks every request the agents make, passing or blocking each one.
Can an agent delete files or make a bucket public?+
Not unless you turn it on. Deleting files and buckets, and changing a bucket to public, are held off by default, so an agent can upload where you allow without ever removing files or exposing them, until you explicitly allow it.
Can an agent see more than the person who owns it?+
No. An agent reaches only what its owner reaches. An explicit Off always overrides an inherited permission.
Where do our Backblaze B2 keys live?+
Sealed in an encrypted vault, behind a key unique to your company. It's never shown again once connected, and Bollard AI unseals it only for the instant an allowed request needs it.
What happens when an agent tries something it's not allowed to do?+
Bollard AI blocks the request before it reaches Backblaze B2, and the blocked attempt lands in the activity record with the reason.
How do we connect Backblaze B2?+
An admin connects the company's Backblaze once. Bollard AI seals the connection and builds the list of buckets to set rules for. From then on, all management happens in the Bollard AI dashboard.
