ArgusAI

AI firewall for LLM calls, MCP tools, and agentic workflows

ArgusAI launched on July 28, 2026 with 7 votes, #2,664 of 24,623 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches.

What it does

ArgusAI is a plug-and-play AI security gateway for agentic apps. Protect chat, MCP tools, and AI workflows by simply swapping your OpenAI-compatible base URL—no SDK changes. Detect and block prompt injection, jailbreaks, credential leaks, and PII exposure. Inspect tool inputs/outputs, track cross-tool taint, and enforce block, flag, or redact policies. Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini with audit logs, analytics, webhooks, and enterprise policy controls.

Drop-in AI security for LLM calls, MCP tool use, and agentic workflows. OpenAI-compatible proxy with prompt injection defense, PII redaction, and audit logging.

Chat completions: point your OpenAI-compatible client at ArgusAI — swap the base URL, keep your SDK. MCP security and taint tracking: add lightweight API calls to our inspect endpoints (Growth plan and above). Try prompt injection detection in the Playground today. Full gateway access, dashboard onboarding, and MCP security are rolling out to waitlist members first. Get notified when the full gateway, dashboard, and MCP security ship. Instructions hidden in user input, RAG documents, or tool output can hijack an agent's behavior mid-session. Sensitive data can enter a prompt or come back in a model response with no inspection layer in between. Tool arguments and tool output are rarely…from argusai-tau.vercel.app

    Much of my work right now involves complex, long-running, multi-agentic teams of agents. I kept running into the same problem: “How do I keep these guys in line?” Rules weren’t cutting it, and we needed a scalable, agentic-native STANDARD I could count on. There wasn’t one. So I built one. Here are two open-source protocols that extend A2A, granting AI agents behavioral contracts and runtime integrity monitoring: - Agent Alignment Protocol (AAP): What an agent can do / has done. - Agent Integrity Protocol (AIP): What an agent is thinking about doing / is allowed to do. The problem:…

    Beelzebub (OSS) – MCP "canary tools" for AI agents2025 · ▲8

    We’re open-sourcing a simple way to add “canary tools” to AI agents via MCP honeypots. These are functions your agent should never call during normal operation. If a canary is invoked, you get a high-fidelity signal of prompt-injection, tool hijacking, or lateralization—no heuristics, no extra model calls. What it is: - Go framework exposing decoy tools over MCP that look legitimate (names/params/descriptions), return safe dummy output, and emit telemetry when invoked. - Runs alongside your real tools; ship events to stdout/webhook or your pipeline (Prometheus/Grafana,…

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
