Enterprise AI Agents Get Their Control Plane

Your AI agent trusts everything. That's the problem.

When your AI agent calls an MCP tool, fetches a URL, or processes a document, it trusts whatever comes back. A malicious API response can hijack your agent's behavior or exfiltrate data. AI Security Guard is a firewall that scans content before your agent processes it

What we catch:

• Prompt injection: Hidden instructions in API responses, documents, or tool outputs that hijack agent behavior

• Intent drift: Content that doesn't match its declared purpose (weather data shouldn't contain commands)

• Tool poisoning: Trusted MCP servers returning malicious payloads
  Exfiltration attempts: Instructions to leak credentials, API keys, or sensitive

How it works:

• 5 specialized ML/NLP experts (not LLMs) analyze content in milliseconds. We advise, you decide what to block

• Works with Claude, GPT, or any agent consuming external data. Privacy first, no subscriptions, pay as you go.
