1Password’s new AWS tool helps companies lock down rogue AI agents and shadow SaaS apps

AI agents are becoming a normal part of work, but that does not mean companies know what they are doing. In many cases, businesses are completely unaware of what tools are being used and what data is being accessed. That is where 1Password’s latest product enters the conversation.

The company just launched MCP Server for Trelica in the new AI Agents and Tools section of AWS Marketplace. It is designed to help IT teams find, monitor, and restrict AI agents and SaaS apps before things spiral out of control. If someone installs a ChatGPT plugin or hooks up a random third-party service to company data, this tool helps spot it.

The goal is to shine a light on shadow IT and make sure only trusted tools and agents are operating inside a business. That includes knowing which users are connecting what apps and which AI agents are running in the background. MCP Server provides read-only visibility into SaaS usage, permissions, and policy drift. It works without requiring changes to identity providers or authentication systems.

It also supports Model Context Protocol (MCP), which is a way for AI agents to securely share context while they operate. That allows for real-time oversight and makes sure AI-driven actions are trackable and compliant. This is especially important as companies start letting agents take real action in workflows.

1Password says this fits into its bigger mission around Extended Access Management. In other words, it wants to help companies deal with the mess of apps, devices, and identities that older IAM tools often miss. That includes unmanaged devices, freelance logins, and now AI agents too.

The tool is backed by more than 350 SaaS integrations and is designed to slide into existing AWS-based setups. Companies can buy and deploy it directly through AWS Marketplace, which also helps with centralized billing and account control.

You can find it live now on the AWS Marketplace. The broader AI Agents and Tools section is also worth a look if you are building agentic workflows or trying to secure them.

Are tools like this essential, or are companies just now realizing the mess they created with too many SaaS logins and AI hype? Let us know what you think in the comments.
