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.

Agent Gate – Execution authority for AI agents, vault-backed rollback

The idea of inserting a deterministic 'gate' between proposed tool calls and execution is smart and practical: precomputed classification plus an agent-unreachable vault means destructive operations become reversible by default. The README calls out clear mechanics (envelope checks, vault backup, tiered responses and structured denials) which suggests this is more than a thought experiment — it's a focused infra piece for teams that actually let agents touch production.
