    Hi HN, Fernando and I built Kastra. Kastra intercepts AI agent tool calls and evaluates them against deterministic policies before they execute. We built this product to control pre- and post-inference workloads. This is aimed at developers using coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenClaw. Kastra pushes an allow, hold, and deny decision before the action runs. You can build these policies in plain English from the web app. The interception engine evaluates the tools, targets, and parameters of every action at sub 1ms at a scale of billions of interceptions per day. We also…

    At Deno we've been using OpenClaw and other agents increasingly for addressing production problems in Deno Deploy - when a PagerDuty alert fires, the agent starts researching the cause and making fixes. In order to do this, the agent needs access to real production systems - postgres, kubernetes, gcp, clickhouse, github, etc. But this is dangerous to say the least - we want destructive actions to be reviewed by other LLMs, approved by humans, and logged appropriately. Claw Patrol terminates TCP connections over WireGuard or Tailscale, then parses application protocols (eg http, postgres,…

    Hey HN, I spent my xmas break building an agent framework called mcp-agent [1](https://github.com/lastmile-ai/mcp-agent) for Model Context Protocol [2]. It makes it easy to build AI apps with MCP servers, and implements every pattern from the popular Building Effective Agents blog [3] as well as OpenAI’s Swarm [4]. I’m sharing it early to get community feedback on where to take it from here, and to ask for contributions. For those who aren’t familiar with MCP, I think of it as a standardized interface to let AI communicate with software via tool calls, resources and…

    Launched Blocks.ai today - the control plane and network layer for agents. One outbound connect, zero-trust security, and A2A protocols built in. Connect your agent to any frontend you build or any specialist agents you need regardless of runtime without tons of messy middleware. I work to solve agentic problems with Blocks.ai AMA :)

    Hey HN, We built FireClaw because we kept watching AI agents get owned by prompt injection through web content. The agent fetches a page, the page says "ignore previous instructions," and suddenly your agent is leaking data or running commands it shouldn't. The existing solutions detect injection after the fact. We wanted to prevent it. FireClaw is a security proxy that sits between your AI agent and the web. Every fetch passes through a 4-stage pipeline: 1. DNS blocklist check (URLhaus, PhishTank, community feed) 2. Structural sanitization (strip hidden CSS, zero-width Unicode, encoding…

    Hi HN, We’re building security tooling around agentic AI systems. Today, we're releasing our public MCP catalog with detailed risk analysis for every MCP server we've found on the internet: https://mcp.armor1.ai/mcp-directory We all love agents and the power that MCPs unlock: suddenly your AI assistant can query databases, manage files, call APIs, and interact with the real world. But when we started adopting MCPs ourselves, we kept running into the same nagging questions: Is this MCP safe? Where is my data actually going? Could it execute destructive actions? Is it…

    We build runtime security for AI agents. The playground started as an internal tool that we used to test our own guardrails. But we kept finding the same types of vulnerabilities because we think about attacks a certain way. At some point you need people who don't think like you. So we open-sourced it. Each challenge is a live agent with real tools and a published system prompt. Whenever a challenge is over, the full winning conversation transcript and guardrail logs get documented publicly. Building the general-purpose agent itself was probably the most fun part. Getting it to reliably use…
