Summary
- A lightweight gateway that sits between AI agents and external services, enforcing fine‑grained read/write policies per task.
- Gives users explicit control over what an agent can do with Gmail, calendar, file system, etc.

| Target Audience |
Developers building AI agents, security‑conscious users |
| Core Feature |
Policy engine + API gateway for Gmail, Calendar, Files, etc. |
| Tech Stack |
Rust + WASM for sandbox, OpenAPI, OAuth2, Firecracker VM, PostgreSQL |
| Difficulty |
Medium |
| Monetization |
Revenue‑ready: $9/mo per agent |
Notes
- HN commenters say “fine‑grained permissions per‑task” and “policy control” are missing.
- Enables threat model “this request should only ever read my gmail and never write”.
- Encourages discussion on policy language and auditability.
Summary
- A turnkey solution that runs each AI agent in a Firecracker micro‑VM, with a minimal OS and a policy layer that restricts file system and network access.
- Eliminates root‑access risk to the host machine.

| Monetization |
Revenue‑ready: $49/mo per VM + usage |
Notes
- Addresses comment “sandboxing does not solve permission escalation”.
- Provides audit logs for “agent deletes inbox” scenarios.
- Sparks debate on VM vs container isolation.
Summary
- A web/desktop UI that lets users graphically define, test, and audit policies for AI agents, with real‑time simulation of actions.
- Lowers barrier to understanding threat models.
