How do I set up an AI agent for security?
Copy a working setup. Have a small local model vet agent shell commands by Changsu Seong (Claude, Cursor): 1) Run a small local server that classifies each tool call as allow, review or block; the agent’s hook calls it before execution. 2) Test on everyday commands: the first version blocked ls -la and npm run build, so add a careful allowlist. 3) Don’t allowlist by command name alone (git log --output can write files); split command chains (&&, |) and check every part. The use-case page has the full prompt.
