    Hey HN! Today we're launching Agent Vault - an open source HTTP credential proxy and vault for AI agents. Repo is at https://github.com/Infisical/agent-vault, and there's an in-depth description at https://infisical.com/blog/agent-vault-the-open-source-crede.... We built Agent Vault in response to a question that been plaguing the industry: How do we give agents secure access to services without them reading any secrets? Most teams building agents have run into this exact problem: They build an agent or agentic system and come to realize at some point…

    EU legislation (which affects UK and US companies in many cases) requires being able to truly reconstruct agentic events. I've worked in a number of regulated industries off & on for years, and recently hit this gap. We already had strong observability, but if someone asked me to prove exactly what happened for a specific AI decision X months ago (and demonstrate that the log trail had not been altered), I could not. The EU AI Act has already entered force, and its Article 12 kicks-in in August this year, requiring automatic event recording and six-month retention for high-risk systems,…

  4. 4

    I built this as a personal open-source project to explore how EU AI Act requirements can be translated into concrete, inspectable technical checks. The core idea is local-first compliance: – risk classification (Articles 5–15, incl. prohibited use cases) – bias evaluation using CrowS-Pairs – automatic Annex IV–oriented PDF reports – no cloud services or external APIs (browser-based + Ollama) I’m especially interested in feedback on whether this kind of technical framing of AI regulation makes sense in real-world projects.

    Hi HN! I’m Paul, founder of Traceprompt. We’re building an open-source SDK that wraps your AI agents and generates tamper-proof audit trails, so you can prove what agent did what, when and with which model. You can check out the Node SDK (more languages coming soon): https://github.com/traceprompt/traceprompt-node We built Traceprompt because LLMs are being used everywhere without a clear plan for audit and compliance. From research and discussions with other devs, I often see fintech and healthcare teams manually stitching together API Gateway, CloudWatch Logs and S3…

    Hey Everyone! Avi and I (in the current YC S25 Batch) noticed how fragmented crypto compliance is with rules changing constantly, vary by region, and force developers and legal teams into a scramble. So we hacked together a prototype framework that generates a “guardrail” smart contract which: - Hooks into your KYC provider - Enforces rules defined a simple compliance.yaml file - Automatically blocks users you can't legally serve When regulations shift (new blocked country, updated KYC threshold, etc.), just update your YAML and redeploy with no smart contract rewrites. Audit prep also…
