Harden releases AIF, a unified security layer for AI coding agents
Med1_Ai · x · 2026-09-01
Harden introduced the Agentic Integrity Foundation (AIF), a unified security layer designed for AI coding agents. AIF acts as a middleware between the agent and the OS to ensure safety during long-running, complex tasks.
Key features:
- Evaluates actions before execution
- Uses developer intent and session context for judgment
- Blocks unsafe actions or makes them safe
- Runs locally and audits every decision
It supports major tools like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity, Kiro, OpenClaw, and Hermes. The post-trained model reportedly outperforms frontier models on agent-security benchmarks. It is free for individual developers.
