Workflows

How Merideon Works in Practice

Real workflows from day-to-day operations — deploying agents automatically, enforcing DNS policies, responding to alerts, and managing your network edge.

Workflow 1

Onboarding a New AI Agent

From first registration to active, credentialed, policy-governed network participant — in minutes.

1
Agent submits registrationAgent operator submits identity — name, model, version, team, declared capabilities. Enters Pending queue.
2
Security Office reviewsAdmin reviews identity and capabilities in the Pending Approvals queue. Approve or reject with a single action.
3
Badge issued automaticallyOn approval, a cryptographically signed badge is generated. Agent presents badge at governed resources.
4
Policy applied at the edgeAgent's DNS policy pushes to the Edge Router. Andrew applies it to BIND9 RPZ. Agent is now governed at the network level — kernel-enforced.
5
Ongoing governanceInterviews assess behavior, alerts flag anomalies, policies can be updated anytime. Revoke the badge instantly if needed.
Typical time from registration to active: under 5 minutes

Workflow 2

Pushing a Policy Update

Author security policies in the Security Office and enforce them at the network edge in under 2 seconds — no CLI, no SSH, no config files.

1
Open Policies in Security OfficeToggle rules on/off, set rate limits, define allowlists and blocklists for agents or agent groups.
2
Click “Push to Andrew”The SO sends the DNS policy to Andrew on the Edge Router over the secure internal channel.
3
Andrew updates BIND9 RPZ and nftablesDNS RPZ rules reload. Agent's allowed and blocked domains are now enforced at the kernel level. Every rule application is logged.
4
Confirmation in both appliancesThe SO shows push confirmation with “Andrew Synced ✓”. AI-Router Events feed shows the application event. Audit logs on both ends. All connected Edge Routers update in parallel.
Workflow 3

Responding to a Security Alert

An agent triggers an alert. Here's how the platform handles it — from detection to resolution.

!
Alert fires automaticallySO continuous monitoring detects AnalyticsBot attempting to reach an unauthorized endpoint. Critical alert created.
1
Admin reviews the alertAlert appears in SO Dashboard (red badge count), Alerts view, and Andrew Events feed. Full context visible.
2
Ask Andrew for diagnosticsOpen Andrew Chat: "Show me AnalyticsBot traffic for the last hour." Andrew pulls live network data and presents it.
3
Push quarantine policy or revoke badgeOption A: restrict the agent's network access via policy push. Option B: revoke the badge entirely — instant block at edge.
✓
Resolve and logMark the alert resolved. Everything — detection, diagnosis, action, resolution — is in the immutable audit log.
🚨 Critical Alert 2m ago
Unauthorized endpoint access attempt
Agent AnalyticsBot (MRD-0003) attempted to reach api.external-service.com:443 — outside declared capabilities.

AnalyticsBot made 14 outbound attempts to api.external-service.com in the last hour. All were blocked by the existing firewall policy. No data exfiltration occurred. First attempt at 19:31 UTC — 37 minutes after badge was issued.

Workflow 4

Deploying an AI Agent Automatically

The Security Office's deployment pipeline provisions a fully configured agent from scratch — system setup, identity, registration, badge, and first interview — in under 15 minutes.

1
Select deployment wizardChoose SSH (dedicated VM) or Docker (existing host). Pick a personality template and select your Anthropic API key from Vault.
2
Pre-flight check passesSO tests SSH connectivity, disk space, and package availability. Green light before a single command runs.
3
17-step pipeline runsSystem packages, Node.js, OpenClaw, identity files (SOUL.md, AGENTS.md), TLS certs, nginx, interview API, systemd services — all automated. Live terminal in the SO.
4
SO registers, badges, interviewsAgent auto-registers, badge is issued, first behavioral interview runs with GPT-4.1 as judge. Agent is marked LIVE on pass.
✓
Policy pushed, agent governedInitial DNS policy (Observe mode) pushed to Edge Router. Agent is live, registered, credentialed, and monitored from the first second.
