Today's Show HN Cluster Is Agent Governance: Sandboxing, Trust Registries, Spend Auditing and an Agent-to-Agent Negotiation Protocol
Four August 5 Show HN posts in the same six-hour window all address controlling agents rather than building them: Runeward (sandbox your agent), Aidress (an open-source discovery and trust registry for agents), CostClaw (a local CLI that finds Claude Code spend leaks), and agent-talk (a file-based protocol for two AI agents to talk until they agree). GuidedReview, a Chrome extension for reviewing AI-generated PRs, landed the same morning. The through-line is that the bottleneck has shifted from getting agents to run to knowing what they cost, what they touched, and whether you should trust one you didn't write.
