SkillPreflight scores agent skills before install on a 100-point security, token and maintainability scale; Kern sandboxes execution; Unlose snapshots the filesystem via Windows VSS before an agent runs; and Agnost AI reads production conversations after the fact for silent failures and drift (GitHub). Three of the four are free or open source and only Agnost AI, which is YC-backed, is priced. The category is forming faster than anyone has worked out how to charge for it, which usually means whoever already owns the runtime wins.
