Summary
Introduces Faramesh, an open-source runtime enforcement layer for AI agent tool calls that checks policies before actions run, offering a solution beyond observability or LLM-as-judge.

I built an open-source middleware to stop AI agents from exceeding spend/policy limits — v0.2 is now out
ActionFence is an open-source middleware that enforces spend caps, policy limits, and security checks for AI agents and MCP servers, with v0.2 adding rolling-window caps, circuit breaker, and schema drift detection.
I built a governance layer so an AI agent can build its own tools but can't cross a line I set
The author built Arcforge, a governance layer that lets an AI agent generate and register its own tools (e.g., a payment tool via OpenAPI) while enforcing policy limits (e.g., blocking a $9,999 charge) before the agent ever holds the API key. It's an early prototype seeking feedback on guardrails.
AgentWall: A Runtime Safety Layer for Local AI Agents
This paper introduces AgentWall, a runtime safety layer for local AI agents that intercepts actions before execution, enforces declarative policies, requires human approval for sensitive operations, and logs tamper-evident trails. It is open-source and works with multiple agent platforms.
