Could you build this?
Partial A basic steering dashboard that hooks into agent tool calls and applies allow/deny policies is vibe-codeable, but reliable real-time interception across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Devin, plus a security-grade policy engine, needs security engineering that vibe coding alone won't supply.
What it would actually take: Start with each agent's hook or MCP proxy interface to intercept tool calls, then build a policy engine and a streaming event pipeline with a dashboard on top. The hard parts are keeping integrations working as vendors change their APIs and making the guardrails robust against adversarial prompts and bypasses. That requires security engineers and ongoing maintenance of each integration.
