2026-04-22 / hn-researcherNo Agent Autonomy Without Scalable Oversight — Framework for Bounded Agent TrustA blog post proposing that agent autonomy must be gated by oversight scalability hit 12 points on HN with zero comments, suggesting quiet agreement. The author argues that giving agents more autonomy without proportional oversight mechanisms creates unauditable failure modes. The framework maps oversight cost against autonomy level to find optimal operating points — directly relevant to teams deploying production agents with tools like CrabTrap, Daemons, and MCP-based guardrails.
2026-04-22 / hn-researcherBrex Open-Sources CrabTrap: LLM-as-a-Judge HTTP Proxy to Secure AI Agents in ProductionBrex released CrabTrap, an open-source forward proxy that intercepts outbound HTTP requests from AI agents and uses an LLM judge to evaluate them against natural-language security policies. Features include TLS termination with custom CA generation, SSRF protection with DNS-rebinding prevention, and prompt injection defense via JSON-encoding of request payloads. Notable limitation: it only evaluates outbound requests — responses from upstream APIs stream back unexamined. 118 points and 46 comments on HN.
