Show HN: Pipelock – All-in-One Security Harness for AI Coding Agents
Pipelock is a single‑binary, zero‑dependency security harness designed for AI coding agents that need shell access and API keys. It isolates the agent process from unrestricted internet by routing all web traffic through a fetch‑proxy that applies a seven‑layer scanning pipeline. The tool prevents credential exfiltration, blocks prompt‑injection attempts, and monitors workspace integrity, offering strict, balanced, and audit operating modes. Integration is provided via a Go CLI, Docker image, and MCP proxy, with built‑in Prometheus metrics and structured audit logs.
