🔪 Open-source safety firewall for AI agents. Intercepts tool calls before they execute, enforces YAML policies, and kills dangerous operations in real-time. Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, and MCP. She doesn't guard. She kills.

AvaKill – Deterministic safety firewall for AI agents (<1ms, no ML)

AI Analysis

●●●BangerSolve My ProblemBig BrainShip It

Deterministic <1ms policy kill switch for AI agent tool calls, zero ML.

Strengths
  • Deterministic rule engine with red-team validation (63/63 blocked) closes a critical safety gap that existing solutions (SandboxAI, Courtyard) don't address as comprehensively
  • YAML policy format is operator-friendly; 81 rules across 14 categories provides immediate coverage without custom logic
  • Three independent enforcement paths (hooks, MCP proxy, OS sandbox) means works with existing agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop)
Weaknesses
  • Depends on tool-call intercepts; agents using direct file/network access bypass entirely
  • AGPL license limits commercial adoption
Category
Target Audience

Enterprises deploying AI agents, security teams enforcing tool-use boundaries
