For CTOs, CIOs, and CISOs
Agentic tooling is already in your org
The question is no longer whether engineers are using it. It's whether you have any visibility into what it's doing, what it costs, and what leaves the building with it.
Stop credential exposure at the source
The failure mode is familiar: a token gets swept into context, and now it's in a payload that already left your network. The cleanup is a production credential rotation and an incident writeup.
ThirdThought redacts secrets before the request leaves the machine and rehydrates them in the response. The agent behaves exactly as it would have. The difference is that a credential that was never transmitted is a credential you don't have to rotate.
This is defense in depth, not a replacement for secret scanning or least-privilege credentials. It closes one common path, not every path.
What we can see
A tool that sits between your engineers and their model provider is only as trustworthy as what it sends home. Ours sends one thing: a licence heartbeat. No usage data, no content, no telemetry you haven't agreed to.
Never leaves your machine
- Prompts, agent conversations, and file contents
- Secrets or PII detected by redaction — including the values themselves
- Source code or repository contents
The only required call
Licence heartbeat
A periodic check that the licence is still valid, which also rotates the activation token before it expires. It carries a licence token and a randomly generated install ID — not your name, not usage, not content.
Optional, your call
- Operational telemetry and crash reports, if enabled
- Diagnostic dumps you generate and choose to send us
Org usage logging goes to a destination you operate — your Logstash or data lake, not ours.
Visibility and spend
Capacity across accounts
Org seats, individual Max accounts, and API keys in one view — what's consumed, what's left, and when it resets.
Cost attribution
PlannedToken burn and cost broken out by account, agent, and task type, so spend can be traced to the work that caused it.
Fits what you already run
Logging to your own stack
PlannedUsage and redaction events ship to your Logstash instance, so team and org visibility lives in the tooling you already operate. Events record that a redaction occurred and what class it was — never the value that was redacted.
Works with your proxy
PlannedLiteLLM, Bifrost, and similar gateways stay in place. If you've already centralized model access and policy, ThirdThought complements it rather than routing around it.
PII redaction
PlannedBeyond credentials: addresses, SSNs, routing numbers, and common medical, financial, and government identifiers, caught on the same path before they leave the endpoint.
Seat and licence management
Per-seat licensing with the administrative tooling to go with it, including directory integration so seats follow the identity system you already run.
Beyond engineering
Engineering is where agentic tooling landed first, but it isn't where it stops. As Claude use spreads into other parts of the organization, the same questions follow it: what is running, what does it cost, and what is being sent out.
The intended path is the Claude desktop app — sitting between the local client and the cloud, the same position that makes this work for Claude Code. Runs that execute entirely in the cloud are out of reach by design; we'd rather say so than imply coverage we can't deliver.
Being proven out now, targeted at a later release. If this is the problem you're trying to solve, we'd like to hear from you while it's still being designed.
Not a SaaS, on purpose
There is no tenant to provision, no console to log into, and no copy of your activity sitting in our infrastructure. ThirdThought is software that runs on your engineers' machines and reports to systems you operate.
Practically, that removes most of what makes a security review slow. There is no data residency question, because we hold no data. There is no multi-tenancy isolation review, because there is no tenancy. The vendor-risk surface is a desktop application and one licensing endpoint.
Seat management is designed to integrate with your directory, so provisioning and deprovisioning follow the identity system you already run rather than a separate portal.
Who's behind it
ThirdThought is built by Electric Monk, a small consultancy that has spent two decades building software for organizations from early-stage startups through Fortune 500s, across medical, energy, financial services, and other regulated industries.
That matters here for one reason: a tool that sits between your engineers and their model provider is a tool you have to trust. We'd rather tell you who we are and what the software does not do than ask you to take the security claims on faith.
