Security Firewall for Agents (Ryan Dahl (Deno))
talk · Story page
Ryan Dahl presents Claw Patrol, an MIT-licensed proxy that inspects an agent's outbound traffic below HTTP and holds its credentials outside the agent.
In plain words
- Deno created Claw Patrol, software that checks what action-taking artificial intelligence sends outside itself.
- It sits outside the artificial intelligence and examines outgoing data, including database connections that bypass normal web traffic.
- It keeps passwords and access keys hidden, so the artificial intelligence never receives them.
- Written rules decide which outgoing requests are allowed.
- Teams can enforce limits outside artificial intelligence that has access to live databases and company services.
Appeared in
- Deno's Claw Patrol treats agents as untrusted software, and full history beats compaction
