Could you build this?
Partial A proxy inspecting inputs/outputs of an agent can be vibe-coded, but building a robust semantic firewall that accurately detects indirect prompt injection, data exfiltration, and unauthorized tool calls in real-time requires sophisticated ML security work.
What it would actually take: The system sits as a reverse proxy between autonomous AI agents and external tools/environments, likely built in Go or Rust for minimal latency. The hard part is the semantic evaluation engine: fine-tuned small language models (SLMs) or specialized token classifiers detecting jailbreaks, prompt injection, and unauthorized data leakage in sub-100ms response times. Building this requires specialized adversarial ML knowledge and defensive application security testing.
