    Latch is an open-source proxy that sits between AI agents and the tools they use. It intercepts all tool calls and applies security policies in real-time: Safe operations pass through instantly. Risky operations require human approval via dashboard or Telegram. Dangerous operations are blocked completely I built Latch to address the growing security risks of AI agents accessing critical systems. There have been 1,800+ exposed agent gateways discovered in the wild and recent security audits showing multiple vulnerabilities in agent frameworks, so this was motivated by the clear urgent need…

    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…

    The local security guardrail for AI coding agents

  18. 18FO

    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…

    Hello HN. I'm Maxime, founder at LimaCharlie (https://limacharlie.io), a Hyperscaler for SecOps (access building blocks you need to build security operations, like AWS does for IT). We’ve engineered a new product on our platform that solves a timely issue acting as a guardrail between your AI and the world: Viberails (https://www.viberails.io) This won't be new to folks here, but we identified 4 challenges teams face right now with AI tools: 1. Auditing what the tools are doing. 2. Controlling toolcalls (and their impact on the world). 3. Centralized management. 4. Easy…
