21:50 - HOL Guard [protection against unwanted agent-actions]
*
‘AI agents are getting more powerful and with that power and access to your data comes a risk. If you're using tools like clawed code, cursor codecs, Gemini CLI or other AI coding agents, those agents may be able to run commands, access files, install packages, or interact with your local environment.
That's where HOL guard comes in. Leveraging the Hedera consensus service, HOL Guard adds a safety layer between your AI agent and the tools it wants to run. It can help intercept risky actions before they happen, like secret file reads, dangerous commands, installs, MCP changes, and other actions you may want to approve before execution.’
