Signal

What it means

EndLayer reads 21 signals in seven groups, from AI tools and agents to keys, AI web usage and device posture. Each scan reports them from files already on the machine.

Signals are the raw facts. The AI inventory, context and every verdict are built from them.

Why it matters

Decisions are only as good as the facts underneath. Signals are those facts, collected the same way on every device.
