Guardian Runtime Release: Protecting and Controlling AI Agents

🛡 Guardian Runtime: Controlling Costs and Security for AI Agents

Guardian Runtime has been released — a local middleware firewall for protecting and optimizing the operation of AI agents. The tool intercepts requests to LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) locally, allowing users to set strict token budgets and prevent secret leakage.

🌍 It solves security problems (Data Exfiltration) and unpredictable expenses (FinOps) when using autonomous AI agents.

👤 The tool provides control over API bills and protects your keys from being accidentally sent to cloud models when working with Cursor, Claude Code, or Aider.
