Human in & on the loop
Manual holds every action for approval. Semi puts you on the loop, not in it.

Authorized, under your command, inside your network.
// Where an attacker goes
Performs the authorized offensive work every guarded frontier endpoint declines.
Enabled on request — Red is never bundled into a plan.
A playbook plans the engagement and dispatches specialist sub-operations — recon, testing, verification — each with its own tools and model.
Phases, model and tools, pinned before anything runs.
Nothing runs above the intrusiveness level you allow, or against a target outside your scope.
Above the level you allow, the run proposes the action and stops.
Manual holds every action for approval. Semi puts you on the loop, not in it.
Set per operation. Where sub-operations exist it cascades to them by default, and you can scope it back to one.
Pause, resume and autonomy changes cascade to the whole sub-operation tree, not just the one you clicked.
Each Tentacle runs isolated, and its egress can be pinned to a fixed, revocable IP.
The model gets a reference, never the value — and output is stripped as it streams.
Every action and the reasoning behind it, recorded in sequence as the operation runs — and every node type carries a link back to the work that produced it.

Reaching the destructive rung takes a custom policy — no preset goes there.
Nothing has to leave your network.

Removed: the live internet link. Output quality is somewhat reduced without it.
Execution never moves.The Tentacle never arrives, because it never left — it runs on hosts you control in every mode, including SaaS.
Execute next to your target, or wherever you have the compute.
Shared filesystem — one store every Tentacle reads and writes.
Scanners only look at CVEs. What I want is to give the agent part of the network and ask it what it would do if it were an attacker.

Every host, service and finding a run touches is stored and typed. The next run starts from what you already know instead of scanning for it again.

One direction: the connectors for your stack, plus the offensive tooling it lacks. The other: Cracken is an MCP server, so Claude Code or Cursor can run operations from where you already work.
Thirty days, no card. Credits are extra. If it has to clear security review first, we walk your team through it.
