This is very interesting. I build something like this but native to claude code and something that focus on just logging the violation. My question is if you are terminating a process with in the workflow will that about all other things that executed before. anyway would love your feed back on this https://github.com/varmabudharaju/agent-pd

Nice work shipping this.

Disclosure: author of a related tool here. I have create agent-vault-proxy for a very similar reason. It also can help keep credentials out of the agent process. The agent gets a placeholder, the proxy swaps in the real secret in transit.

I read them as complementary: action firewall in front, credential broker behind. https://github.com/inflightsec/agent-vault-proxy

claw patrol runs on the network level. There’s no process being terminated - HTTP/SQL/etc are rejected based on rules that you define. it’s resilient to the agent making changes to its own hooks or bypassing a local sandbox.

That’s great! IIUC Agent vault is an HTTPS proxy whereas Clawpatrol is a WG/Tailscale exit node so it can handle other protocols like Postgres and SSH without processes co-operating via HTTP_PROXY

I think this sounds very cool! It sounds similar to Agent Vault (github.com/Infisical/agent-vault) but with an added feature of having security policies for denial/human-in-the-loop of traffic based on the contents of requests?

The nice thing about Agent Vault is the encryption of credentials and other ways they handle making sure those don't leak from storage. I suppose you could potentially wrap the two in layers as well (agent -> Claw Patrol -> Agent Vault -> external network)

EDIT: looking at some of the comments, it sounds like Claw Patrol can work with protocols beyond HTTP/S, so potentially covers more surface area than AV

The product looks great and I'm really interested in trying it out. Very cool, congrats on shipping! Also...as a parent of young kids: this name made me laugh out loud. The OG image on the marketing site is a fun easter egg.

For those here without young kids in their life: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paw_Patrol
