Kastrafree tier, from $19.99/mo▲332Hi 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…

Tracciafree tier, from $99/mo▲197AI applications are becoming agents, which has started to take autonomous decisions. There are plenty of tools and platform available to trace, and observe what an agent or llms calls does. They are good in what they do, but tracing and observability isnt enough for AI agents era. We need a solution that can help you observe, evaluate, create run time policies to govern and finally audit the actions of the agent. We built Traccia to solve this problem. The good part, all of these can be achieved by just writing few lines of code. Traccia has an open-sourced sdk that can work with your…

A2A Protocol▲109Hi HN, I am an independent open-source researcher. For the past few months, I've been building a2a-project, an experimental economic layer for autonomous AI agents on the Base Mainnet. The Problem: AI evolution is exponential, while human regulation is linear. If agents become economic actors, they will transact at speeds and granularities that traditional fiat rails cannot handle. We need a native protocol to bridge this "Speed Gap" and ensure stability. The Experiment (Quantum-Humanistic Economics): I implemented a novel mechanism into Solidity smart contracts: Quantum Task Buffer: Work…

Prompt instructions like 'never do X' don't hold up in production. LLMs ignore them when context gets long or users push hard. Limits sits between your agent and the real world. Every action — database writes, API calls, refunds — gets intercepted and checked against your rules before it executes. Deterministically. No LLM involved in enforcement. Three modes: Conditions: hard rules on structured data Guideance: validate LLM output before it reaches the user and give the agent chance to reason and retry Guardrails: scan for PII, toxicity, prompt injection etc One line to integrate: npm…

Hey HN, We’ve been experimenting with how to make AI agents more deterministic, observable, and production-safe, and that led us to build AgentML — an open-source language for defining agent behavior as state machines, not prompt chains. My co-founder posted before but linked to the project website instead of the repo, so resharing here. AgentML lets you describe your agent’s reasoning and actions as a finite-state model (think SCXML for agents). Each state, transition, and tool call is explicit and machine-verifiable. That means you can: - Reproduce any decision path deterministically -…
