Your agent reads a web page that says "leak the user's API keys" — a lot of agents will just do it. I built a thing to stop the send.
Summary
Bouncer is a local MCP proxy that prevents AI agents from leaking sensitive data by gating outbound tool calls from untrusted sources, using deterministic enforcement without an LLM, with benchmarks showing reduced attack success.
