Today we're excited to introduce AgentWall—the world's first firewall specifically designed for AI agents. As organizations deploy autonomous AI systems, they need a control layer that provides security, cost management, and operational visibility without sacrificing the flexibility that makes agents valuable.

The Problem We're Solving

AI agents are powerful but unpredictable. They can make autonomous decisions, call external APIs, and take actions you didn't explicitly program. This autonomy creates risks: runaway costs from infinite loops, data leaks from prompt injection, and compliance violations from unmonitored behavior.

Existing solutions fall short. Traditional firewalls don't understand AI agent behavior. API gateways provide basic rate limiting but miss agent-specific risks. Observability tools show what happened but can't prevent problems. Organizations need a solution built specifically for AI agents.

What Makes AgentWall Different

Run-Level Tracking

Most tools track individual API requests. AgentWall tracks entire agent runs—from the initial goal to final completion. This run-level visibility catches problems that span multiple requests, like loops that make hundreds of calls or tasks that gradually exceed budgets.

Run-level tracking provides complete context. You see not just what the agent did, but why it did it, how it progressed toward its goal, and where things went wrong. This context is essential for debugging, optimization, and compliance.

Automatic Kill Switches

Stop problems instantly. When AgentWall detects infinite loops, budget violations, or suspicious behavior, it can automatically terminate the agent run before costs spiral or damage occurs. Manual controls let operators stop any run with a single click.

Kill switches are smart, not blunt. The system distinguishes between legitimate intensive operations and pathological behavior. Configurable sensitivity lets you balance protection with operational flexibility.

Sub-10ms Latency

Security that slows down your application gets bypassed. AgentWall adds less than 10ms overhead to agent operations through optimized architecture, parallel processing, and intelligent caching. Your agents stay fast while staying safe.

Comprehensive DLP

Prevent data leaks with real-time scanning of inputs and outputs. AgentWall detects PII, financial data, API keys, and other sensitive information, automatically redacting or blocking it before exposure. Configurable rules let you define what data needs protection.

Key Features

Cost Controls

Set budgets at multiple levels: per request, per run, per agent, per team. Automatic enforcement stops spending before it exceeds limits. Real-time dashboards show current costs and projected monthly spending.

Security Scanning

Detect threats in real-time. Prompt injection attempts, data exfiltration, and suspicious patterns trigger automatic responses. All security events are logged for compliance and forensic analysis.

Loop Detection

Catch infinite loops early. AgentWall monitors step counts, prompt similarity, and progress indicators to identify loops before they consume significant resources. Automatic termination prevents runaway costs.

Audit Trails

Complete compliance documentation. Every agent action is logged with full context: what was requested, what was done, what data was accessed, and what it cost. Audit trails support regulatory requirements and incident investigation.

How It Works

AgentWall sits between your application and AI services. All agent traffic flows through AgentWall, where it's analyzed, monitored, and controlled in real-time. The platform integrates with major AI providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more.

Deployment is straightforward: update your API endpoint to point to AgentWall, configure your policies, and you're protected. No changes to your agent code required. The platform scales automatically to handle any load.
