Forensic Summary
Statewright is an open-source framework that enforces state machine constraints on AI agents, restricting which tools agents can invoke during each phase of a workflow. The project directly addresses the Excessive Agency problem, where AI agents operating with broad, unconstrained tool access can take unintended or harmful actions. While a defensive development rather than a threat disclosure, it signals growing practitioner awareness of agentic AI risk and offers a concrete mitigation pattern for teams deploying coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor.
