Rhapsody Launches Guardian to Govern AI Agent and API Access to Healthcare Data and Services

Helps health systems put CHAI and Joint Commission guidance into practice by providing access controls and audit trails for AI agents and APIs.

BOSTON, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rhapsody, a provider of infrastructure and automation for agentic interoperability, today announced Rhapsody® Guardian, an AI governance solution that helps healthcare organizations enforce AI governance policies by controlling how AI agents access health data and services.

Unveiled at Rhapsody's customer conference, Connect, in Boston, Guardian addresses a growing challenge for health systems: translating AI governance policies into controls over what agents can access and do. It authenticates agents, enforces scoped access and rate limits, and records agent, MCP, and API activity, helping organizations advance AI initiatives while maintaining oversight of sensitive healthcare data.

For example, a health system can authorize an agent to access a designated service, restrict it to permitted operations, and limit how frequently it can make requests. Guardian enforces these boundaries and maintains an audit trail of activity passing through it.

"CIOs are under pressure to advance AI initiatives while maintaining control of sensitive healthcare data," said Sagnik Bhattacharya, CEO of Rhapsody. "They need to know which agents are accessing their systems, what those agents are allowed to do and whether they stay within those boundaries. Guardian puts their decisions into practice, helping health systems move from AI policy to controlled deployment."

Organizations can deploy Guardian independently or alongside Rhapsody, Corepoint or another integration platform. This flexibility gives health systems a central point for enforcing access policies.

Guardian is available now. For more information, or to schedule a demo, visit Rhapsody.Health.
