HAWK: a separate watchdog for AI agents
HAWK describes a dedicated device that checks an AI agent’s tool actions before execution and can ask for approval, deny an action, or isolate the machine through a compatible router.
- For
- Teams running AI agents with tool access
- Worth noticing
- The site says its audit log is chained and signed with Ed25519 and ML-DSA-65, with optional S3 Object Lock copies.
Field notes
The described setup routes each agent tool action through a companion program to a separate Linux device; a phone app pairs with the board, identifies machines, and checks log signatures. The homepage names Raspberry Pi 4, OpenWrt or MikroTik routers, local encrypted QUIC, and optional S3-compatible storage with Object Lock. It also says an upcoming version will require hardware capable of running a small model; the supplied page does not establish reliability or supported tool coverage.
