Developer Tools / AI Agent Tools

Pawl

Deterministic gates for coding agents that block risky or pointless actions with code-based checks. The repo shows hook-based controls for delete protection, git safety, egress blocking, credential access, install pinning, loop detection, and idle-process handling across Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Antigravity.

Why it was accepted

The page clearly presents an AI-adjacent developer tool: a hook system for agent harnesses that enforces deterministic checks on coding-agent actions. The README content gives concrete use cases, supported surfaces, examples, and the kinds of failures it catches, making it useful for a public listing.

Weakness

The crawl does not show a packaged release, API reference, or installation walkthrough beyond the demo and command examples. It is also not obvious from the snapshot how much of the project is stable versus experimental.
