Could you build this?
No eBPF kernel programming requires low-level kernel C/Rust expertise, understanding Linux network and syscall internals, and navigating strict eBPF verifier constraints.
What it would actually take: Built using Aya (Rust) or BCC/libbpf (C) attaching to kernel probes (`kprobes`, `uprobes`, or socket filters) to trace process execution, network connections, and LLM API calls without user-space changes. The difficult component is writing verifier-compliant eBPF bytecode that extracts high-level agent telemetry without degrading system throughput or causing kernel panics. This requires specialized Linux kernel internals and low-level systems programming experience.
