Your AI agent hits an infinite loop and racks up $2000 in API charges overnight. This happens weekly to AI developers. AgentGuard monitors API calls in real-time and automatically kills your process when it hits your budget limit. How it works: Add 2 lines to any AI project: const agentGuard = require('agent-guard'); await agentGuard.init({ limit: 50 }); // $50 budget // Your existing code runs unchanged const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({...}); // AgentGuard tracks costs automatically When your code hits $50 in API costs, AgentGuard stops…

Hi HN, Matvey, Ildar, Joey, and Dominik here. If you're building LLM agents that use tools, you're probably worried about prompt injection attacks that can hijack those tools. We were too, and found that solutions like prompt-based filtering or secondary "guard" LLMs can be unreliable. Our thesis is that agent security should be handled at the network level between the agent and the LLM, just like a traditional web application firewall. So we built Archestra Platform: an open-source gateway that acts as a secure proxy for your AI agents. It's designed to be a deterministic firewall against…

As a Security Engineer with over 10+ years in industry, I kept running into the same problem with coding agents: Instructions are not guarantees. I put guidance in `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, memory files, MCP descriptions, and tool documentation. I explicitly told the agent things like: - Use the code graph for architecture questions instead of grepping the repository. - Do not use deprecated APIs or Unsafe code. - Prefer specific tools for specific tasks. The agent would still ignore those instructions surprisingly often. It would grep the entire repo, use deprecated APIs, or choose a slower…
