Open-Source MCP Gateway: Real-Time Auto-Blocking for Compromised AI Agents
LawFamiliar3588 · reddit · 2026-08-10
A developer open-sourced wardline, an MCP (Model Context Protocol)-aware proxy gateway designed to mitigate runtime security risks for AI agents.
Key Features:
- Comprehensive Interception: All tools/call, resources/, and prompts/ requests pass through policy, budget, and audit checks.
- Real-Time Auto-Blocking: Features a per-identity anomaly detector that can auto-block a client exhibiting behavioral spikes (e.g., if hijacked or maliciously prompted) without human intervention.
- Slow-and-Low Defense: Catches abrupt deviations while a baseline mechanism adapts to slow ramps, defending against low-and-slow exfiltration attacks.
Tech Stack: Supports three policy backends (YAML, OPA, Cedar) and is packaged as a single Go binary. The author is seeking community feedback on its threat model design.
