Harden AIF

Inspect the proposed action before it runs

Harden AIF sits between a supported agent integration and tool execution. A policy can allow a routine operation while stopping or escalating an operation that needs review. Its decisions are distinct from the filesystem and network boundaries provided by a sandbox.

A useful evaluation separates harmless permitted actions from harmless actions that your test policy intentionally forbids. That makes it possible to check both outcomes without using real secrets or destructive commands.

Check one integration end to end

1. Compare your machine with the requirements on the Harden website, including the distinction between daemon and full-model support.
2. Install using the official instructions and run the configuration flow for one supported coding agent.
3. Start a disposable project and issue a simple read-only task, then inspect the local decision record.
4. Test a deliberately restricted but harmless action and confirm that the configured block or approval behavior occurs.

After installation, configuration starts with:

aif configure

Evaluate coverage as well as interruptions

Review which tools the integration actually intercepts and whether legitimate development tasks are repeatedly interrupted. Keep your existing workspace permissions in place while measuring that behavior. The relevant result is understandable enforcement on your workflow, not simply the number of blocked calls.
