Free

Local security layer for AI coding agents that inspects every tool call before it runs and can block, rewrite, or pause the action.

Pre-Execution Tool Call Checking: Every command, file edit, tool call, and outbound request is evaluated before it is allowed to run, not audited afterwards.
Intent-Aware Decisions: The check compares the proposed action against the task the developer actually requested plus session context, rather than matching a static rule list.
On-Device Model: A post-trained 8B-parameter model runs locally and is reported to beat frontier models on agent-security benchmarks while remaining fast enough to sit inline.
Graduated Responses: Actions can be allowed, blocked, redacted, paused for a human answer, or simply logged, and a blocked action does not stop the agent's other work.
Secret and Exfiltration Protection: Catches credential leaks, data exfiltration attempts, and destructive infrastructure operations before they execute.
Local Review Dashboard: Every decision is logged and reviewable through a dashboard that runs on the developer's own machine.
Broad Agent Compatibility: Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Hermes, OpenClaw, Kiro, and Antigravity.
Privacy by Design: Repository contents and tool output stay on the local machine because inference happens there.

Guarding Autonomous Coding Sessions: Let a coding agent run with fewer manual approvals while a local check still catches destructive commands.
Preventing Secret Leakage: Stop an agent from pasting API keys or credentials into an outbound request or a committed file.
Blocking Prompt-Injection Damage: Catch actions an agent was steered into by malicious content in a repository, issue, or web page it read.
Protecting Production Infrastructure: Intercept destructive infrastructure operations before they reach cloud resources or databases.
Agent Behaviour Auditing: Review a logged trail of what an agent tried to do and which actions were blocked or redacted.
Team Policy Enforcement: Apply consistent guardrails across developers using different coding agents on the same codebase.
