Could you build this?

Partial Creating a CLI tool that wraps LLMs is simple, but building a robust, airtight guardrail/sandbox engine in Rust that reliably intercepts and evaluates destructive cloud CLI commands requires deep systems knowledge.

What it would actually take: The system is written in Rust, combining an LLM interaction agent with a strict AST parser and policy engine for shell commands and cloud APIs (AWS SDK/CLI). The difficult part is building deterministic policy evaluation (evaluating IAM permissions, regex/AST-based command parsing, and dry-run guarantees) that cannot be bypassed by prompt injection or shell obfuscation.
