Intercis vs. HoneyHive

HoneyHive traces what your agents do. Intercis intercepts what agents are allowed to do. Observability and governance work best together.

Capability Intercis HoneyHive
Primary function Pre-execution policy enforcement Agent observability & evaluation
Deployment model Intercept proxy (zero code changes) SDK integration + dashboard
Tool call interception ✅ Real-time deny/allow/observe ❌ Traces after execution
Agent identity validation ✅ Per-agent registry + tool scopes ⚠️ Agent workflow tracing
Tamper-evident audit trail ✅ Policy decision logged per call ✅ OpenTelemetry traces
OWASP Agentic AI coverage 14/17 threats ⚠️ Detection via anomaly tracing
Kill switch ✅ Manual: deactivate agent, proxy denies calls ❌ Alerting capabilities
SOC2/ISO 27001 evidence ⚠️ Audit log export; no SOC2/ISO packages ⚠️ Trace exports

Better together

HoneyHive gives you deep traces of what your agents are doing—every step, every decision, every edge case. Intercis enforces policy on what agents are allowed to do. Together: HoneyHive provides the deep tracing for debugging and optimization; Intercis provides the real-time enforcement for safety and compliance.

Who should use HoneyHive?

Teams focused on understanding agent behavior patterns, debugging complex agent workflows, finding edge cases, and evaluating agent performance. HoneyHive excels at agent-specific observability with OpenTelemetry-native tracing and edge case detection pipelines.

If your primary need is visibility into how your agents are behaving—where they're getting stuck, what decisions they're making, which branches of logic they're taking—HoneyHive provides the instrumentation and analytics you need. Their Series A funding and agent-focused positioning make them the strongest observability play in the agent ecosystem.

Who should use Intercis?

Teams that need real-time enforcement with policy decisions before actions execute. When observing agent behavior isn't enough—you need to control it.

Choose Intercis if your agents have access to production infrastructure (APIs, databases, CI/CD, file systems). You need to enforce policy before a tool call executes, not trace it after. Intercis integrates at the proxy layer, protecting your infrastructure without requiring SDK changes across your agent fleet.

Intercis covers 14 of 17 OWASP Agentic AI threats, including tool confusion, unauthorized access, and excessive agency—risks that observability alone cannot prevent.

The Key Difference

HoneyHive traces agent workflows. It shows you every step your agent takes, every tool it calls, every output it receives. You see the full execution flow post-mortem.

Intercis intercepts agent actions. It sits between your agent and the LLM API, validates the request against policy, and decides in real-time whether to allow, deny, or observe.

Tracing tells you what happened. Interception decides what's allowed to happen. Both are essential for production AI agents.
