5-Minute Quickstart

Getting Started

Create your account, register your first agent, and run a policy check in under 5 minutes.

Step 1

Create an Account

Step 2

Create a Workspace

Workspaces isolate your agents, policies, and events. Create one from the dashboard or via the API.

terminal

curl -X POST https://api.drd.io/api/v1/workspaces \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "my-workspace", "slug": "my-workspace"}'

Step 3

Register an Agent

Every AI agent that interacts with DRD needs to be registered. This gives it an identity, API key, and trust score.

terminal

curl -X POST https://api.drd.io/api/v1/agents \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "email-bot",
    "description": "Sends weekly digest emails",
    "type": "automation"
  }'

Step 4

Install the SDK

Install the @drd/sdk package from npm to integrate governance checks into your agent.

terminal

npm install @drd/sdk

Step 5

Run Your First Policy Check

Use guard() to check if an action is allowed, then report() to log the event and build your agent's reputation.

quickstart.ts

import { DRD } from '@drd/sdk';

const drd = new DRD({ apiKey: process.env.DRD_API_KEY });

// Check if the action is allowed
const result = await drd.guard('send_email', {
  to: '[email protected]',
  subject: 'Weekly report',
});

if (result.allowed) {
  await sendEmail(result.context);
  await drd.report('email.sent', { to: '[email protected]' });
}

await drd.shutdown();
