The firewall your AI agents are missing

Zero-trust security layer that sits between your agents and their tools. Blocks risky calls, redacts secrets, detects prompt injection, and logs every decision.

Features

Everything an agent firewall needs

Six layers of defense in one lightweight sidecar.

Policy Engine

Enforce file-system boundaries, block dangerous paths like .env and id_rsa, restrict network to HTTPS-only, and block private IP access. Per-agent overrides included.

Injection Scanner

Detect prompt injection attacks in real-time. Catches curl|bash pipes, metadata endpoint access, "ignore previous instructions" patterns, and encoded payloads.

Secret Redaction

Automatically strip API keys, AWS credentials, and sensitive tokens from tool output before it reaches the agent. Configurable regex patterns.

Audit Logging

Append-only JSONL logs with automatic rotation. Every tool call, every decision, every reason recorded. Built for compliance and incident response.

Real-time Alerts

Webhook notifications on policy denials. Configure severity thresholds so your team knows the moment an agent tries something it shouldn't.

Rate Limiting

Per-agent request throttling to prevent abuse. Configurable windows with API key and JWT-based identity enforcement.

Architecture

One sidecar, zero trust

Oblivian sits between your agent and its tools. Every call is validated, scanned, and logged before execution.
