SentinelAgent Guard

Firewall for MCP servers and AI agents

Get picks like this daily. Today's launch numbers, the top launches, AI and tech news, and a daily opportunity pick, straight to your inbox.

Guard sits in front of your MCP server and runs 22 deterministic checks across five layers on every call. It blocks tool poisoning, rug pulls (CVE-2025-54136), and hidden Unicode payloads in tool descriptions before they land. No AI model does the checking — same verdict every time, no token bill. Point your agent at Guard instead of building this yourself. Three ways to run the same engine: hosted gateway, embedded SDK, or sidecar CLI for Cursor / Claude Code / Copilot stdio servers.
