Observe, govern, and protect your AI agent systems

What it does

Your agents are running. Do you know what they did last night? Midlantics A2A is a governance layer for multi-agent AI systems — four modules that work independently or together: → Observe — tracing for agent action. Open source. → Policy — YAML rules that block or flag agent. → Approval — human gate for high-risk actions. Notified email. → Firewall — scans every message for prompt injection and PII before it reaches your LLM. Under 2ms, runs locally. VPC-native. No data leaves your perimeter.

The governance layer your AI agents have been missing. Observability, policy enforcement, human oversight, and threat protection — deployed entirely inside your VPC. Open-source core.

Midlantics gives enterprise teams complete observability, policy enforcement, human oversight, and threat protection for AI agent systems — deployed entirely inside your VPC. Deploy the open-source Observe module today. Add Policy, Approval, and Firewall as your needs grow. Each module works independently or together. Distributed tracing, LLM audit logs, agent health dashboards, and compliance exports. OpenTelemetry-compatible. Deploy in 5 minutes with Docker Compose. Cryptographic agent identity, fine-grained permission scopes, delegation tokens, and OPA-based policy evaluation at <5ms latency. Intercept high-risk agent actions and route them to the right human via Slack, Email, or Teams…from a2a.midlantics.com

    Hi HN, I am an independent open-source researcher. For the past few months, I've been building a2a-project, an experimental economic layer for autonomous AI agents on the Base Mainnet. The Problem: AI evolution is exponential, while human regulation is linear. If agents become economic actors, they will transact at speeds and granularities that traditional fiat rails cannot handle. We need a native protocol to bridge this "Speed Gap" and ensure stability. The Experiment (Quantum-Humanistic Economics): I implemented a novel mechanism into Solidity smart contracts: Quantum Task Buffer: Work…

    Hi! I’m Nathan: an ML Engineer at Mozilla.ai: I built agent-of-empires (aoe): a CLI application to help you manage all of your running Claude Code&#x2F;Opencode sessions and know when they are waiting for you. - Written in rust and relies on tmux for security and reliability - Monitors state of cli sessions to tell you when an agent is running vs idle vs waiting for your input - Manage sessions by naming them, grouping them, configuring profiles for various settings I'm passionate about getting self-hosted open-weight LLMs to be valid options to compete with proprietary closed models.

    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 &#x2F; has done. - Agent Integrity Protocol (AIP): What an agent is thinking about doing &#x2F; is allowed to do. The problem:…

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok&#x2F;s prefill and 1200 tok&#x2F;s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
