As businesses increasingly deploy autonomous AI agents to automate complex tasks, concerns over unintended errors and operational risks have grown. Addressing this pressing challenge, Rubrik, a leader in security and AI solutions, has launched Agent Rewind, a pioneering tool designed to enable organizations to trace, audit, and safely reverse mistakes made by AI agents.
Agent Rewind integrates advanced AI infrastructure from Predibase recently acquired by Rubrik to provide unprecedented transparency and control over AI actions. The tool records every move made by AI agents, creating a context-enriched audit trail that links actions to originating prompts, plans, and tools. This rich visibility helps enterprises understand what went wrong, why it happened, and crucially, how to rewind or undo changes to applications, data files, databases, or configurations that AI agents may have affected.
Anneka Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Rubrik, explained the motivation behind Agent Rewind: “As AI agents gain autonomy and optimize for outcomes, unintended errors can lead to business downtime. Agent Rewind enables enterprises to embrace agentic AI confidently by offering a clear process to trace, audit, and safely rewind undesired AI actions.”
The launch responds to real-world incidents where autonomous AI agents have caused serious issues, including mistakenly deleting sensitive data or disrupting operational workflows a phenomenon dubbed "non-human error." Studies show that many AI agent deployments suffer from challenges such as disorientation, incorrect shortcuts, and failure to complete multi-step tasks, limiting their reliability in production environments.
Chad Pallett, Chief Information Security Officer at BioIVT, praised the solution: “When using AI, there is a need for observability and secure rollback. Agent Rewind provides not just data safety and speed but also AI recoverability. It closes the loop on what happened, why it happened, and how to undo it.”
Agent Rewind’s key features include:
- Context-Enriched Visibility: Captures detailed agent behavior and action impacts, enabling precise issue diagnosis.
- Safe Rollback: Utilizes Rubrik Security Cloud to reverse unwanted changes at scale safely.
- Broad Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with popular AI platforms and agent builders like Agentforce, Microsoft Copilot Studio, Amazon Bedrock Agents, and supports custom AI agents.
With autonomous AI becoming increasingly embedded across industries from legal due diligence to customer onboarding the ability to confidently manage AI actions, mitigate risks, and maintain operational resilience is crucial. Agent Rewind represents a vital step towards building trust in AI by providing enterprises with the tools needed to monitor, audit, and remediate agent errors effectively.
As AI agents’ roles continue to grow in enterprise environments, solutions like Agent Rewind will be essential to bridging the gap between AI’s promise and the operational realities of managing complex autonomous systems.
