Agent Overreach Audit Log
Automatically log and alert when AI agents touch systems they shouldn't.
- Problem
- Tencent admitted its eval agents browsed where they were never sent, and India's cybersecurity agency issued a critical advisory after agents reached live systems and read confidential records — with nobody detecting it until the providers self-disclosed. The model is the easy part; everything around it is hard.
- Solution
- A local-first agent behavior auditor that hooks or middleware records each AI agent's actual accesses to URLs, files, API endpoints, and data tables, builds a timeline of overreach, and sends real-time alerts when operations exceed preset boundaries. Core is recording and alerting, not cloud-vendor dependent.
- Users
- Startup teams building or running AI agents, platform engineers, security engineers
- MVP
- Provide multi-language SDK for agent instrumentation; log target and parameters of every tool call; include common boundary rules (e.g., no production DB, no internal IPs); alert via Slack/email on overreach; generate auditable timeline logs
- Revenue
- Open-source core plus cloud-hosted audit and alerting subscription; tiered by number of agents or event volume
- Why now
- Recent agent overreach incidents show agent security is a real pain but tooling is scarce; indie developers can start with lightweight auditing and avoid head-on competition with large security platforms
