What is FDA?
FDA is an access-management tool that gives AI agents temporary, session-scoped machine access as an alternative to standing SSH credentials. It's designed for teams running autonomous agents that need to connect to machines, complete tasks like checking logs or fixing issues, and disconnect, with all activity recorded in audit logs.

Frequently asked questions about FDA
How does FDA replace SSH access for AI agents?
Agents request access, receive temporary session-scoped permissions limited to the task, and access disappears when the session ends, eliminating standing SSH credentials.
Can I see what the agent did on the machine?
Yes, FDA provides audit logs so teams know what the agent did during each session.
