About Tailscale
Tailscale is extending its identity fabric from networking into AI agent access.
Tailscale runs two parallel tracks: a high-frequency maintenance cadence across its clients, Kubernetes operator, and Terraform provider, and a newer Aperture line aimed at AI agents. Aperture now spans a CLI for running coding agents under policy, plus a chat interface with identity-aware MCP and API connectors and agent sandboxes, all in alpha.
