Armorer Guard: runtime control should start at the tool call

  1. # Armorer Guard: runtime control should start at the tool call

The more I work on local agent systems, the less I believe static policy alone is enough.

Once an agent can actually read, write, send, or purchase, the runtime boundary becomes the real control point. That is where I want action classes, execution receipts, and a clear human stop point.

That is the direction I am exploring with Armorer Guard right now.

I do not think the interesting question is just 'can we scan prompts and outputs?'
I think the more useful question is:

  • where should runtime control begin?
  • what evidence should exist after a tool call?
  • how should risky actions pause, continue, or escalate?

Repo for context: https://github.com/ArmorerLabs/Armorer

I would love feedback from people building with MCP, local agents, or self-hosted automation.
