Key point
It's a security firewall tool that monitors AI agent traffic and controls execution according to HCL rules.
Details
Claw Patrol is a security gateway that sits between an AI agent and production environments, analyzing traffic and approving or blocking each action according to user-defined HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) rules.
Key Features:
- Protocol-specific filtering: Extracts and inspects facts from various protocols such as SQL (Postgres, ClickHouse), Kubernetes (resources, verbs, namespaces), and HTTP (methods, paths, headers, body).
- Fine-grained control: You can block destructive SQL commands, or configure commands like
kubectl delete podto wait for human approval before execution. - Multiple deployment methods:
gateway: A proxy that runs as a single binaryjoin: Connects to the gateway via a WireGuard tunnelrun: Wraps and tunnels only a specific process tree on Linux (netns) or macOS (NetworkExtension)
- Rule examples: You can easily write rules that prevent specific resources (e.g., Kubernetes Secrets) from being leaked outside the cluster.
