What it does
HaltState is the runtime governance layer for AI agents. It enforces policies on tool calls in real time (<50ms), provides deterministic kill switches (session/agent/tool), routes high-risk actions to human approval, and exports cryptographically verifiable audit trails (“Proof Packs”) to support SB-53 compliance and incident response.
Protect production AI agent actions with runtime policies, human approvals, deterministic halts, and verifiable Proof Packs.
Protect production actions with runtime policies, human approvals, deterministic halts and Proof Packs. HaltState starts with one concrete side effect, then guides the operator from SDK install through draft policy review and runtime evidence. After installation, the onboarding wizard can detect or register the agent/action, guide risk selection, let the AI Policy Assistant draft policies, keep a human review step before publication, enforce at runtime, and preserve Proof Pack evidence. The public triage tool prepares a starter action map; it does not activate production policy. Retail and customer operations agents can do real good and real harm. HaltState governs the business actions that…from haltstate.ai

KastraJul 2026 · kastra.ai · ▲332Hi HN, Fernando and I built Kastra. Kastra intercepts AI agent tool calls and evaluates them against deterministic policies before they execute. We built this product to control pre- and post-inference workloads. This is aimed at developers using coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenClaw. Kastra pushes an allow, hold, and deny decision before the action runs. You can build these policies in plain English from the web app. The interception engine evaluates the tools, targets, and parameters of every action at sub 1ms at a scale of billions of interceptions per day. We also…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
