AI Analysis

●●SolidBig BrainBold Bet

External admission gate for GitHub Actions stops AI agents before they execute.

Strengths

•Separation of duties architecture prevents workflows from self-authorizing risky actions.
•Targets emerging AI agent risk vector where scanners fail to catch intent.
•Qualification-first pilot model ensures fit for high-stakes infrastructure environments.

Weaknesses

•No self-serve demo or open-source core; requires sales contact for access.
•Vague technical integration details beyond hosted authority concept on landing page.

Post Description

Built this around one simple idea:

the workflow that wants to execute should not be the same place that decides whether execution may continue.

This project puts an external allow/deny boundary before action.

Public entry points:

* live pilot * commercial request * private deployment

There is also a GitHub Marketplace action install surface, but the main point is the boundary model itself: decision stays outside the workflow that is asking to proceed.

Looking for feedback from people working on CI/CD, security controls, approval boundaries, and automated execution.
