The Elisity CLI provides access to 466 commands, allowing users to script device discovery, manage Zero Trust policies, and generate posture reports. Unlike common Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, which maintain persistent, privileged connections, the CLI operates on-demand under the user’s existing credentials. This design choice addresses security vulnerabilities like CVE-2025-6514, which highlighted the risks of malicious code execution through always-on connectors.

Elisity Opens CLI to Let Security Teams Deploy Custom AI Agents
Security teams can now integrate their own AI agents into Elisity’s microsegmentation platform using a new open command-line interface. By shifting away from opaque, vendor-controlled AI models, the company aims to give administrators granular control over automation while ensuring that every state-changing action requires explicit human approval.
By leveraging the Elisity IdentityGraph, the interface allows AI agents to identify devices based on verified identity rather than unreliable IP addresses. According to CEO James Winebrenner, the goal is to provide auditable automation that avoids the "black-box" approach favored by other vendors. For organizations like MultiCare Health System, the tool enables continuous validation of least-privilege policies. CISO Jason Elrod noted that the platform allows security teams to detect policy drift in minutes, ensuring that controls remain effective against lateral movement without requiring manual, periodic audits. Customer adoption of Elisity’s AI-driven features grew 77% between April and June 2026, with current users including GSK and Main Line Health.
