Guardrails that make teams faster, not slower

Teams move faster with AI when they trust it. Clear limits are what create that trust.

People keep the decisions

Agents never merge, close tickets or deploy. Ticket breakdowns, test choices and anything marked “needs a decision” go to a person.

Risky areas stop the agent

Before touching infrastructure, migrations that drop data, or secret files, the agent stops and asks, showing the exact change it wants to make. Destructive commands are blocked outright, and risky ones need approval.

Checks at the last line

Git hooks block secrets, accidentally focused tests, badly written commit messages and manual pushes to protected branches, whoever wrote the change.
