Wren Pre-sign Check logo

Wren Pre-sign Check

Newsecurity & governancePaid

Wren Pre-sign Check is a pay-per-call x402 API that an AI agent calls before it signs anything with its wallet. Send a transaction (to + data), an EIP-712 typed-data payload or untrusted text, and it returns block, review or allow, the decoded call in plain words and every finding: unlimited approvals, Permit and Permit2 signatures, setApprovalForAll, EIP-7702 delegation, contract deployment and injected instructions. With an optional wren-guard policy (allowlist, spenders, caps) it also blocks unknown recipients, over-cap amounts and lookalike addresses. It is a static check and stores nothing you send; free demos show real output.

OpenAPPA logo

OpenAPPA

Newsecurity & governanceOpen source

OpenAPPA is a deterministic guardrail that sits between an AI agent and its tools and tracks how data flows across tool calls, instead of asking a second model to judge each call. Policies decide whether untrusted or sensitive data may reach a given action, which blocks data exfiltration caused by prompt injection or hallucination while letting agents finish their tasks. It plugs into Claude Code, Pi, OpenCode, kAgent and Archestra, comes with reusable policy "batteries", validation, observability and reporting, and is backed by a NeurIPS workshop paper with published benchmarks. It is in preview as an open RFC.

Halofy logo

Halofy

Newsecurity & governanceFreemium

Halofy is an access and governance layer for a team's AI agents, giving every agent organizational context through one identity and policy model with provenance and audit, alongside a desktop AI workstation that turns power users' agent practices into shared policies.

Added

HOL Guard logo

HOL Guard

Newsecurity & governanceOpen source + cloud

HOL Guard is a free, open-source (Apache-2.0), local-first security layer for AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and GitHub Copilot CLI. On supported integrations it checks risky shell commands, reads of secret-bearing files, package installs and new or changed MCP tools before they run, lets you allow, ask or block each action, and keeps a local record for review. It installs with pipx (hol-guard) and works offline; optional Guard Cloud adds synced approvals, team policy and dashboards.

Added

Phase logo

Phase

Newsecurity & governanceOpen source + cloud

An open-source secrets manager that syncs API keys and environment variables to apps, CI and agents with end-to-end encryption and access control. Free tier, Pro from $10 per user a month, or self-host.

Added

ThinkWatch Lite logo

ThinkWatch Lite

Newsecurity & governanceOpen source

A local gateway that sits between your coding agents and model providers, letting you switch upstreams, redact secrets before they leave your machine, block dangerous tool calls and see the cost of each request.

Added

Eleven logo

Added

open-kritt logo

open-kritt

Newsecurity & governanceOpen source + cloud

A self-hosted AI security research tool that orchestrates agents to hunt for vulnerabilities in a codebase and then validate and rank what they find; managed scans are also offered.

Added

wren-guard Pro logo

wren-guard Pro

Newsecurity & governancePaid

wren-guard Pro is a TypeScript guard library for AI agents that hold or move funds on Base and other EVM chains (viem, CDP AgentKit, Privy, Eliza and similar stacks). It enforces allowlisted, capped and simulated sends, decodes calldata and signatures to flag unlimited approvals, Permit, Permit2, setApprovalForAll and EIP-7702 delegation, screens for injected instructions and watches nonces. It ships with an 89-scenario attack corpus drawn from public agent wallet incidents and a GitHub Action that fails CI if your agent's policy would let a known attack through. The original Python wren-guard is free and MIT licensed.
