Agent Permission Audit Trail

Turn the hundreds of commands a coding agent runs into a readable, traceable record

Problem
Long-time Claude Code users admit they blindly approve permission requests just to keep projects moving, while agents generate hundreds of commands underneath, some as scary as deleting databases or environments. Recent incidents of agents wiping databases show users don't need more features, they need visibility and reversibility into what the agent does.
Solution
A lightweight audit layer that sits alongside coding agents: it intercepts and records executed commands, classifies them by risk (file reads, writes, network calls, deletions) and renders a human-readable session timeline, requiring a contextual confirmation before high-risk actions. Sessions can be replayed and exported.
Users
Indie developers and small teams who lean heavily on coding agents, plus tech leads with compliance needs
MVP
Ingest and parse agent logs; risk-level tagging per command; readable session timeline UI; confirmation gate for high-risk commands; exportable session reports
Revenue
Free or low-cost one-time purchase for individuals; per-seat subscription for a team compliance edition with report export and retention settings
Why now
Coding agents are moving from toys to production tools and permission-abuse incidents are starting to make headlines, yet mainstream agents offer no fine-grained auditing. Log parsing and rule classification need no platform blessing, so a solo developer can ship a companion tool quickly
