The Take

Forcing an agent's traffic through a transparent mitmproxy while using iptables as a killswitch and swapping placeholder tokens for real secrets is a neat, practical approach to hardening autonomous agents. The idea shows real domain knowledge, but the repo is an MVP — many features are TODO, docs and use cases are thin, and mitmweb feels like a temporary dev choice rather than a finished UX.

Keychains – Prevent LLM/OpenClaw agents from leaking API credentials

Agents never touch raw tokens — you swap literal credentials for template variables and a proxy injects scoped secrets server-side while surfacing one‑click approval links to humans. It also fingerprints machines, uses SSH key auth, and tries to infer minimal OAuth scopes per request, which is a neat user-in-the-loop model. The obvious trade-off is centralizing trust in the proxy and the integration work for every provider, but the UX for human approvals and instant revocation is compelling.
