Open-source Agent Security Gate checks MCP tool calls in under 5ms
EstablishmentTough18 · reddit · 2026-09-07
A developer released Agent Security Gate x402, an open-source lightweight guardrail for MCP servers and AI agents that inspects tool calls and inputs before execution.
Key points:
- Ultra-fast (<5ms) checks covering AST safety analysis, a jailbreak radar, and a hallucination score
- Issues verification proofs before actions are taken, aiming to block prompt injections (DAN-style), risky code execution, and hallucinated inputs without added latency
- 100% open source, available on GitHub and PyPI (pip install agent-security-gate-x402)
- Includes a no-login browser playground for testing attacks interactively
- Works as an MCP server with Claude Desktop via a few lines of config
