What it does

If your agent can break AgentGuard, Bitcoin has bigger problems than AgentGuard. AI agents can access databases, move money, and operate critical systems. Most teams give them broad permissions with little oversight. AgentGuard adds trust scoring, capability-based permissions, approval gates, and immutable audit logs, ensuring every action is verified, accountable, and governed before it happens. Control your AI before your AI controls your business.

AI Agent Governance Kernel — trust, approvals, audit - Mangomindai/agentguard

"Your AI agents are only as safe as the system governing them." "If your agent can break AgentGuard, it better be good at breaking Bitcoin." pip install agentguard-kernel The Problem You're building with AI agents. Your agent has access to your database, your payments, your users. Most teams have no answer. No pause button. No audit trail. No trust scoring. No approval gate. Just an agent with full access and a prayer. from agentguard import TrustEngine engine = TrustEngine ( db_path = "trust.db" ) # New agent starts TRUSTED level = engine . get_trust_level ( "my-agent-001" ) print ( level ) # → TRUSTED # Quick permission check if engine . is_allowed ( "my-agent-001" ): # proceed with…from github.com

    Your AI agent hits an infinite loop and racks up $2000 in API charges overnight. This happens weekly to AI developers. AgentGuard monitors API calls in real-time and automatically kills your process when it hits your budget limit. How it works: Add 2 lines to any AI project: const agentGuard = require('agent-guard'); await agentGuard.init({ limit: 50 }); // $50 budget // Your existing code runs unchanged const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({...}); // AgentGuard tracks costs automatically When your code hits $50 in API costs, AgentGuard stops…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. 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…
