My team built a Jiminy Cricket for AI coding agents

Reddit r/AI_Agents Tools

Summary

Fence is an open-source tool that prevents AI coding agents from deleting files or leaking API keys, currently functional with Claude Code.

Hey everyone, I'm a founder with a very talented and creative engineering team. A couple weeks ago, I told the team they could spend 20% of their week on side projects. These projects should solve problems for us that our users probably also deal with. They came out with this incredible open source project and we are releasing it for free, with no signup walls or trials. The first project’s name is Fence. It prevents your agent from deleting your files or leaking your keys. It's like Jiminy Cricket (you kids maybe too young to know this) but for AI coding agents. Fence reads the command (and its intent), not only the string. It's completely functional for Claude Code already, and we're thinking about expanding to other IDEs in the future, if people like using it. If anyone is willing to contribute, feel free to drop a comment here! Me and the team could jump in and answer any questions!! I'll leave the github repo link in the comments 🤘
