Partial A dashboard, policy engine, and integrations are codeable, but effective protection against agentic attacks depends on detection models and threat research that vibe coding can't supply.
What it would actually take: The platform would combine tool-call monitoring, policy enforcement, and logging with an SDK or proxy for agents. The hard part is reliable detection of prompt injection and malicious agent behaviour with low false positives, which needs security research, labelled attack datasets, and red-teaming expertise.
