Developer Tools / AI Safety / Governance

Squidbrake

Self-hosted approval gateway for AI agent tool calls. It checks actions against rules, pauses risky ones for human approval, and keeps a tamper-evident audit trail. The repo shows setup, live demo flow, and integrations with Claude Code and MCP apps.

Why it was accepted

The page clearly describes an AI-native developer tool with a concrete purpose: gatekeeping agent tool calls through rules, human approval, and audit logging. The repository provides enough visible evidence for a useful listing, including startup commands, integration steps, demo guidance, and support for Claude Code and MCP clients.

Weakness

The snapshot does not fully show the implementation depth of the governance model, the exact rule syntax, or how approvals are reviewed across all supported clients. It also doesn’t expose test coverage, release maturity, or a full set of deployment options from the crawl alone.
