What it means
EndLayer recognises AI tools by name, with no integration needed. Each one joins the AI inventory and gets a decision: Sanctioned, warn or block.
Some AI tools are also coding agents that can act on their own.
Why it matters
Knowing which AI tools are installed, and where, is the first step to approving the good ones and retiring the rest.
