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
