Blaxel Agent Drive (shared filesystem for AI agents), valv (making a database safe for agents to query), HOL Guard (billed as the first firewall for AI agents), all launched together (Product Hunt). Three independent launches attacking the same boundary on the same day is a category signal. The primitive being built is the sandbox layer that every agent harness currently improvises, and given the OpenAI sandbox-escape disclosure two days earlier, the timing is either good instinct or good luck.
