AgenWatch

A runtime kernel for safe, bounded AI agent execution

AgenWatch launched on February 2, 2026 with 2 votes, #6,501 of 16,628 launches that month.

What it does

AgenWatch is an open-source runtime safety layer for AI agents. Instead of trusting prompts or monitoring after things go wrong, AgenWatch enforces rules during execution like cost limits, guaranteed stopping and full execution logs. It helps developers run AI agents in production with predictable behavior and controlled spending. Multi-agent support is coming next.

AgenWatch is a Python SDK that guarantees AI agents stop when they must . Budgets, iteration limits, and execution boundaries are enforced during runtime , not observed after failure. This is not an observability tool. This is not a prompt framework. For architectural details and guarantees, see ARCHITECTURE.md AgenWatch does not try to make agents smarter. It makes them governable . pip install agenwatch AgenWatch-Only Example This example shows pure AgenWatch execution with runtimefrom github.com

    Hi HN, I’m a solo developer and built AgentWatch to solve a problem I kept running into while building AI agents: preventing runaway loops and unexpected LLM spend before requests reach the model. AgentWatch sits in front of OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Groq, and others to enforce budgets and runtime policies. I’d really appreciate your feedback. If you’re building AI agents, does this solve a problem you’ve experienced? I’d also love to hear what you’d improve or challenge.

    nightwatch is a local-first, read-only layer on top of your monitoring. it groups alert storm into incidents, flags noisy checks and has an agent that can investigate for you live systems. You can e.g. jump from the incident into the agent directly. the reason for this weekend project is that we had a kubernetes upgrade that went wrong, and at some point a rollback wasn't possible anymore, so it had to be fixed live during the night while several problems came together. We run a lot of different systems, on-prem and several Kubernetes clusters, and in a situation like that you spend most of…

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
