Agent Data Least-Privilege Gateway
Let AI agents read only the emails they actually need
- Problem
- Personal AI agents connected to Gmail can read the entire inbox, far beyond what's needed—a big privacy risk. Someone on HN built Nonce to address this, but least-privilege data access for personal AI agents is still early.
- Solution
- A local or hosted gateway: when an agent requests data, return only necessary fields per policy, with scoped access to Gmail/Calendar/Drive, redaction, and audit logs.
- Users
- Heavy personal-AI-agent users, privacy-conscious developers, small teams
- MVP
- Google OAuth for Gmail/Calendar; return minimal data per query scope; policy config (read-only, field allowlist, time window); local audit log; one-click revoke agent access
- Revenue
- Free personal tier + paid advanced policies; per-seat team tier; open-source core with paid hosting and audit retention
- Why now
- Personal AI agents are exploding but permission models are crude, and users are starting to worry about inbox overreach; indie developers can build trust with open source and local-first
