agentrec : Flight recorder for AI agents

See — and block — what your AI agents actually do

What it does

agentrec is an eBPF flight recorder for AI agents. One node agent records every file, command, and network connection your agents make — attributed to the exact tool call — with 20 built-in detections and in-kernel blocking. No SDK, no code changes; it reads the kernel, so it works with any agent framework.

agentrec is an eBPF, syscall-level flight recorder for AI agents — record, attribute, detect and enforce what your agents actually do at the kernel. 20 detection rules built in. Usage-based: $0.10/node-hour, 100 free every month.

agentrec is a flight recorder for AI agents. Every file, command and network connection — captured with eBPF , attributed to the exact tool call, and blocked in the kernel the moment it crosses a line. No SDK, no code changes, no trusting what the agent reports. Prompt firewalls and LLM gateways see the same thing: text going to and from a model. They cannot see the process that read your credentials, opened a socket to the Docker daemon, or piped a script off the internet into a shell. Approved in a glance. Self-reported by the agent, at the abstraction it chose to show you. This is all an API-layer tool can ever see. The same tool call. The gap between these two panels is exactly what a…from agentrec.io

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up. One…
