Aegis Draws the Line Before the Tool Call
A deterministic capability-enforcement layer for AI agents using the Model Context Protocol.
Field notes
Aegis separates initial task interpretation from subsequent enforcement: an LLM drafts a minimum-capability YAML spec, which is then validated and frozen before execution. The site emphasizes literal matching rather than inferred scope, and its example report records both a rule identifier and an enforcement-test hash when rejecting a file request. It also describes secret scanning, operator callbacks for sensitive calls, forensic policy logging, and OTLP export, while labeling the current release pre-production.
