A local security layer that checks every tool call an AI coding agent makes before it runs.
Harden's Agentic Integrity Foundation intercepts the tool calls a coding agent makes and evaluates each one against the session's context and the developer's stated intent before it executes — then allows it, blocks it, alters it to a safe form, or logs it. The target is the class of mistake an autonomous agent makes that a human would not: touching files it had no reason to, modifying an environment, or misusing credentials. Everything runs on the developer's own machine, so repositories, environment variables and policy decisions do not leave local infrastructure. It supports several common coding agents and is free to run. Not to be confused with HiddenLayer's separately named agent-harness product.
An earned signal from verification, reviews, awards, transparency and engagement — the vendor can't buy it.
