{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I deploy AI agents in fintech operations?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Give your AI agents live data access through Forest's backend, permissions scoped at the action, workflow, and record level, configurable human escalation, and a full audit trail on everything they touch. Start with one workflow where the use case is clear and the risk is contained. Expand as your team gains confidence and accumulates audit history."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Model Context Protocol is the open standard, released by Anthropic in late 2024, for how AI agents connect to tools and data. Forest exposes your data and tools through the Forest MCP Server, which any MCP-compatible AI agent can call under the same permissions and audit coverage as your team."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which AI agent frameworks does Forest support?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Any MCP-compatible runtime: Claude, GPT, open-source models, custom AI agents your team has built. Forest is model-agnostic and framework-agnostic."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can AI agents access customer data on Forest?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The Forest backend runs inside your infrastructure, alongside your databases. Your AI agents read and write through it directly to your databases and SaaS tools. Customer data travels to a provider only at the point where its service is called. Data stays in your systems of record."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How does Forest plug AI agents into the tools your team already runs?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Forest's backend connects to your datasources. Inside workflows, MCP tasks call your external tools (KYC providers, PSPs, communications platforms, case-management systems). Custom actions reach into other resources across your infrastructure. The Forest MCP Server opens all of that up to your AI agents, with the same scoped permissions and audit coverage your team works under."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How does agentic ops governance hold up under a regulator audit?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"When a regulator asks what happened, the Forest record shows the instructions each AI agent was given, the data it accessed, the actions it triggered, and the outputs it produced. Permissions are fine-grained: your team gives each AI agent the access it needs for one job and no more. The answer covers humans and AI agents in the same record."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What permissions do AI agents need to run in production?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Scoped access at the action, workflow, and record level. Same RBAC model that governs your team, applied to your AI agents the same way. Your team decides what each AI agent can read, write, or trigger, and Forest enforces it on every call."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I use Claude or GPT with Forest?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Forest works with any MCP-compatible AI agent runtime: Claude, GPT, open-source models, custom AI agents. Plug your own model for the AI inside Forest workflows. Switch as the landscape evolves."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Where does customer data go when AI agents run on Forest?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The Forest backend runs inside your infrastructure, alongside your databases. Customer data travels to a provider only at the point where its service is called, and the response is logged back to the case. Data stays in your systems of record."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How is Forest different from a custom AI agent framework?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Custom frameworks assume you can ship data to an external API, that audit is optional, and that permissions get sorted later. Forest assumes the opposite. Your data stays in your environment. Every AI agent action is logged at the record level. Permissions are scoped before any AI agent connects."}}]}
