Have been building this for the past two years. It does analysis at scale: Searching for court filings, regulatory actions and investigative reporting. Then scoring companies across 11 ethical dimensions. Built it because this kind of data

Part of the cons is offset, if the single maintainer dissapears, nothing a fork can't fix :)

Yes, but they operate at the OS boundary, but we are defining application/business logic OS controls answer "can this process make network requests?" App-level policies answer "is this request, with these parameters, acc

Completely agree, though the LLM part of the scanner can help with that contextual part of the analysis. Runtime enforcement already exists (the embedded governor wraps tool calls in-process); extending it with a quarantined contextual eval

The scanner is just one part of the codebase, good for maintaining quality in a pipeline. There is also @makerchecker/embedded, which has runtime permission primitives you wrap around the agent's actions, so the restraints live in

So Linux can prevent an agent from opening /etc/passwd. Linux cannot stop an agent from calling: POST /wire-transfer amount=5,000,000

I’d say the biggest difference would be: 1. Parameter-aware rules: OS permissions don’t know your application logic. (How would you tell OS permissions not to let your AI to trade on over 1M dollars) 2. You can’t easily model multi-pary and

Hey all :) I've been working an open-source toolkit to stop AI agents from running amok. You can scan your code (Python, JS, TS) and it will flag any risks and can offer fixes. It runs offline, but you can wire an LLM to do code analys

Reminds me of that buy a pixel website back in the 2000s. Cool concept! blocks are bit small...

It wraps around agents you already have and provides structured controls: - Each agent acts only through a role and can only run skills its approved for. - It cannot approve its own work. - Support for human approval gates. - Every action i

Howdy, A bit past the OpenClaw hype-train, but I remember seeing all this news about the massive security risks OpenClaw has, so I wrapped it with MakerChecker so you can have sophisticated guarantees and controls over OpenClaw. Good enough

I think that's where alot of the focus is going to be in the next few years, and it'll be what blocks us from getting AI into alot of risk averse industries. Been working alot on this.

Hi All! Wanted to share this project I have been working on for a while. In the past few years and my previous startup, I really struggled to get any form of AI adoption in regulated industries. So I built MakerChecker: A way to add structu

Id say the EU is less federal because each member country maintains its own sovereignty and local laws. Its more of a coalition of the willing. While in the US the federal gov can override states. The EU also has each state vote on differen
