Compare by control layer
Which AI governance layer do you need?
Use Talon when you need to control AI traffic at the provider boundary and produce signed evidence for review. Use other tool classes when the problem is in-process agent actions, simple redaction, or general gateway operations.
Choose by question
Agent action policy? → agent governance toolkit
AI traffic evidence? → Talon
Only text redaction? → PII proxy
Gateway operations? → general AI gatewayComparisons

Rule of thumb
Use Talon when the review asks for proof.
Talon is the right first step when a customer, DPO, security team, or auditor asks what AI traffic left your environment, which policy allowed it, and whether you can verify the record.
Talon answers:
- What data left?
- Where did it go?
- Was PII handled?
- Was cost capped?
- Were tools governed?
- Can the record be verified?
