A local API proxy that blocks runaway agent loops, compresses changing JSON and log context, and scans prompts for secrets before they leave the machine.

Why it surfaced

TokenShrinker claims measurable reductions on its own payloads—69% for JSON row dumps, 88% for log streams, and 61% for stack traces—while running on 127.0.0.1. It also offers a transparent Shadow Mode, automatic loop-block expiry, and unsigned Windows, macOS, and Linux builds that openly warn users before installation.
