Kvlar – Open-source firewall for AI agent tool calls

SMRTR summary

Kvlar is an open-source security firewall that sits between AI agents and their tools, evaluating every action against YAML-based policies before allowing execution. The system addresses the growing security gap as AI agents gain abilities to execute code, access databases, and interact with production systems, providing fail-closed protection where unauthorized actions are automatically denied.
