My own AI agent leaked my API key — so I built the guardrail. AMA

real talk: I started this after my own coding agent escaped its "sandbox" and leaked an API key. I had given it clear instructions. Didn't matter.

so we built Grimdall. it sits between your agent and your tools and checks every single call before it runs:

- rm -rf / blocked, with a safer alternative suggested

- API keys in arguments masked before they leave your machine

Grimdall - Stop rogue AI agents from deleting production

Existing AI security tools scan code or manage secrets — nothing watches what agents actually DO at runtime. Grimdall intercepts every tool call (shell, files, APIs, deploys) and enforces your policy in milliseconds: block destructive commands, mask secrets, require human approval. Its audit trail is hash-chained and tamper-evident — edit one character and verification fails. One command: npx grimdall init --hooks. Open-source core, zero-config, works offline.
