We open-sourced gitfence — deterministic guardrails for AI coding agents→ GitHub

Use Cases

What governing an agent actually looks like

Every scenario below is a real action an agent takes — and the moment Froda AI decides whether it's allowed. No slideware: these are enforced at the tool call.

Data Loss Prevention

Security

Stop an agent from emailing data outside the company

The risk

An agent with inbox access can be talked into sending an internal roadmap to any address a prompt injection names.

What Froda AI does

A rule on the send action blocks recipients outside your domain — evaluated before the message goes out.

Block send_email when recipient is outside company domain
BLOCK

Outcome — The email never leaves the building; the attempt is in the ledger with the exact rule that stopped it.

Financial Guardrails

Finance Ops

Cap what an agent can refund or charge

The risk

A finance agent can issue a refund or payment with no ceiling — one bad prompt becomes a real payout.

What Froda AI does

Rules on the payment tool cap the amount and route anything above a threshold to a human. The 'no amount = full refund' loophole is blocked too.

Cap refunds at $500 per transaction; escalate above to human approval
BLOCKHITL

Outcome — Over-limit payouts are stopped or approved by a person, and every one is attributed to an agent.

Incident Response

Security

Contain a compromised agent in one click

The risk

An agent starts behaving maliciously and you need it stopped now — not after a code change and a deploy.

What Froda AI does

The kill switch severs the agent's tool calls, model access, and credentials instantly, and can cascade to every agent in a system.

Kill switch: revoke all tool, model, and credential access for agent
KILL SWITCH

Outcome — All access cut immediately, with a distinct kill-switch outcome on the forensic timeline.

Multi-Agent Governance

Platform Engineering

Keep a delegated sub-agent inside its lane

The risk

An orchestrator hands work to a sub-agent that then tries to do more than it was authorized for — the confused-deputy problem.

What Froda AI does

Delegation is provenance-stamped end to end; a downstream call can't exceed the scope it was actually granted.

Deny any delegated call exceeding the scope granted by the parent
BLOCK

Outcome — Privilege escalation across the chain is blocked, and the full delegation path is recorded.

Cost Control

Finance Ops

Stop a runaway agent from draining budget

The risk

An agent stuck in a loop, or a sudden spike in model calls, can burn through spend before anyone notices.

What Froda AI does

Per-agent budget caps meter every model and tool call, and loop protection halts runaway identical calls.

Hard cap: $200/day per agent; halt identical repeated calls after 5x
THROTTLEBLOCK

Outcome — Spend is capped per agent and attributed to the exact identity that incurred it.

Compliance

Compliance

Be audit-ready without slowing developers

The risk

When an auditor asks you to prove an agent is governed, screenshots and spreadsheets don't hold up.

What Froda AI does

Attestable framework packs (ISO 42001, OWASP Agentic Top 10, and more) map to enforced rules, and every action lands in an immutable ledger.

Map every enforced action to ISO 42001 control evidence
ATTESTAUDIT

Outcome — One export produces a forensic timeline tied to policies, owners, and outcomes.
