The project uses an inbound scan-and-taint phase and an outbound action-judgment phase, with adapters for named coding agents and a stdio proxy for other MCP clients. The homepage reports roughly 100–250 ms per hook, 1,660 tests, and 599 gated rules, including vendored threat rules. It also describes a fail-closed response to engine errors and an audit chain intended to record blocked or evaluated actions.
