Guardclaw
7 layers between your AI agents and disaster.
What it does
Hello Everyone! Hope you’re well! We just opened GuardClaw public beta. It sits between AI agents and tool access (terminal, files, MCP servers) and blocks risky actions before they run. It is local-first, rule-based, and has 0 LLMs in the security path. Stats: 7 defense layers, 1,500+ detection patterns across 11 attack categories.  Works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenClaw, Claude Desktop, plus Docker/MCP setups. Try it and tell us what breaks or feels missing!

- FOFireClaw – Open-source proxy defending AI agents from prompt injectionMar 2026 · github.com · ▲5
Hey HN, We built FireClaw because we kept watching AI agents get owned by prompt injection through web content. The agent fetches a page, the page says "ignore previous instructions," and suddenly your agent is leaking data or running commands it shouldn't. The existing solutions detect injection after the fact. We wanted to prevent it. FireClaw is a security proxy that sits between your AI agent and the web. Every fetch passes through a 4-stage pipeline: 1. DNS blocklist check (URLhaus, PhishTank, community feed) 2. Structural sanitization (strip hidden CSS, zero-width Unicode, encoding…
- FLFree local security checks for AI coding in VSCode, Cursor and Windsurf2025 · ▲43
Hi HN! We just launched Codacy Guardrails, an IDE extension with a CLI for code analysis and MCP server that enforces security & quality rules on AI-generated code in real-time. It hooks into AI coding assistants (like VS Code Agent Mode, Cursor, Windsurf), silently scanning and fixing AI-suggested code that has vulnerabilities or violates your coding standards, while the code it’s being generated. We built this because coding agents can be a double-edged sword. They do boost productivity, but can easily introduce insecure or non-compliant code. One recent research team at NYU found that 40%…

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…
