- Developers and security teams inspecting local AI agents
- Worth noticing
- The site distinguishes declared permissions, observed activity, and reachable resources, and says its analysis collects metadata rather than prompts or file contents.
Field notes
The product model treats declared permissions, observed activity, and reachable resources as separate evidence, and says it reports sensor-coverage gaps. A stop action is guarded by a fresh identity check. The homepage identifies the desktop app as Linux and labels its screenshots as example sessions from the public repository, not live site telemetry. Broader coverage across teams, cloud, and edge is described as direction rather than current support.
