What it does

AI agents can send emails, execute shell commands, access production systems, and call APIs—but most teams have no runtime control once an agent starts acting. Custodyn is the runtime trust layer for AI agents, enforcing policies before execution with allow/block rules, human approvals, tamper-evident audit trails, and an instant kill switch. Open-core with MIT-licensed Python and JavaScript SDKs, plus a free cloud platform to get started today. Built for OpenClaw, CrewAI, LangChain, MCP etc.

Policy enforcement, human approvals, and tamper-evident audit logs for every AI agent action. Stop runaway agents before they cause real damage.

Custodyn sits between your AI agents and the real world — intercepting every action, enforcing your policies, and requiring human approval before anything dangerous executes. Every one of these happened because an AI agent had no trust layer. No policies. No approval gate. No audit trail. Custodyn was designed by someone who spent years finding ways to break into systems — and who watched AI agents gain the kind of unchecked access that used to take weeks to exploit. Every policy engine decision, every audit log, every block was built with an attacker's mindset. Connect in 30 seconds. Every agent action passes through Custodyn before it reaches the real world.

    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:…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
