Switch Trust lets enterprises discover, scan, evaluate and monitor any AI agent, regardless of vendor, by building an inventory, running static‑analysis scans, probing for prompt‑injection and jailbreak attacks, and enforcing guardrails in production. The product page says failed tests block an agent’s release and that monitoring records prompts, responses, model calls and policy events.\n\nSwitch ROI measures each agent’s cost and the value it delivers, linking spend to outcomes such as tickets resolved or pull‑requests accelerated. It provides budgets, burn‑rate alerts and recommendations that claim to save a monthly range of costs, with confidence levels. The announcement cites a Gartner prediction that more than 40 percent of agentic AI projects will be canceled by the end of 2027, and a KPMG Global AI Pulse survey of 2,145 respondents that only 7 percent of leaders have an established AI ROI and that clear cost visibility makes leaders five times more likely to report ROI. Mount Sinai West’s MSW Lab is using Switch Trust to build clinical AI applications, according to Dr. Jeffrey Bander.\n\nSwitch was launched in August 2026 as a Commons Clause Apache 2.0 open‑source offering, intended to let companies swap agents, models and providers without losing context control. SandboxAQ’s CEO Jack Hidary warned that companies could end up with hundreds or thousands of agents and need the same hiring discipline applied to agents.","keyPoints":["Switch Trust provides discovery, scanning, evaluation and monitoring for any AI agent, regardless of vendor.","Switch ROI tracks per‑agent cost, outcome metrics and suggests savings, citing KPMG data that only 7% of leaders have AI ROI.","SandboxAQ launched Switch in August 2026 as an open‑source Commons Clause Apache 2.0 platform."],"whyItMatters":"Enterprises gain a vendor‑neutral way to govern AI agents and quantify their financial impact, addressing growing risk and ROI concerns as agent deployments scale.","category":{"slug":"agents","name":"Agents & Tools","url":"https://digestai.news/category/agents"},"entities":{"companies":["SandboxAQ","Mount Sinai West","Gartner","KPMG"],"models":[],"people":["Dr. Jeffrey Bander","Mohammed Aboul-Magd","Jack Hidary"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-10-19T13:36:01Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-19T13:36:01Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"Unite.AI","title":"SandboxAQ Adds Trust and ROI Tools to Switch AI Agent Platform","url":"https://unite.ai/sandboxaq-adds-trust-and-roi-tools-to-switch-ai-agent-platform","publishedAt":"2026-10-19T13:36:01Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"SandboxAQ adds Switch Trust and Switch ROI tools to its Switch AI platform\", 19 October 2026, https://digestai.news/story/sandboxaq-adds-switch-trust-and-switch-roi-tools-to-its-switch-ai-plat","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"SandboxAQ adds Switch Trust and Switch ROI tools to its Switch AI platform","datePublished":"2026-10-19T13:36:01Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/sandboxaq-adds-switch-trust-and-switch-roi-tools-to-its-switch-ai-plat"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
