Agent Stack

5 tiny npm libs to stop AI agents misbehaving in prd

What it does

5 focused npm libraries that tackle real agent failres: agentfit (context window overflow), agentguard unauthorized network calls), agentsnap (tool call drft), agentvet (bad arg validation), agentcast (schem violations). Each is under 150 lines, composable, ad BYO-LLM. Built from real prod pain.

We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
