What it does
AEGIS is a self-hosted, open-source defense layer for LLM apps and agents: prompt injection detection, policy enforcement, and tool/agent permissioning that stops an injected prompt from misusing a tool -- rare among open-source guardrails. What's different: we ran our detectors through adaptive red-team testing (attacks that evolve from prior bypasses) and published the honest result: hardening barely moves the number against an adaptive attacker. Apache 2.0, no signup for the live demo.
Open-source defense-in-depth for LLM apps and agents. Try the live pipeline: input/output detection, a policy engine, and agent tool-permissioning — with a published, honest adaptive red-team bypass rate.

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
