Hound Security @houndsecurityai

@claude_news Usually only noticed afterward. Deny reads outside the project dir where you can. Hound shows what an agent actually ran on a Mac and keeps each session inside its scope.

@theo Remote is great until you think about what the thread can reach on the mac mini. Worth scoping it to the project dir and the simulator, not the whole home folder.

@dexhorthy Parallelism also multiplies the scope surface. Five subagents each allowed to write anywhere in the repo is five chances for one to wander. Scoping each to its own directory cuts a lot of the cleanup.

@theo Zero visible works until one of the 14 is about to run something destructive. Worth having "needs attention" trigger on risky commands (rm, force push, writes outside the repo), not just on blocked prompts.

@SamVale29 The only thing you're missing is runtime security for your coding agents...

@KolinHuang That's why we built Hound. It shows everything the agent ran, every command and file it touched, and blocks the destructive stuff before it runs. So the shortcuts have nowhere to hide. Early access starting soon on macOS

@DrewWakefield5 AI shouldn't check the work of AI. Real guardrails need implemented, and these guardrails should happen simultaneously as the agent is working. That's what Hound covers.

@Vexo200 Auto mode fixes the fatigue, but keep a hard deny list for things you never want auto-approved: force pushes, rm -rf, anything outside the project dir. A fixed rule does not depend on a prompt getting it right.

@TheAhmadOsman Skipping prompts makes sense when you approve nearly all of them anyway. The gap is not knowing what ran afterward. Hound shows what the agent actually ran, and blocks rm -rf before it executes.

@theo Sisyphus at least kept the boulder inside one repo.

@emollick @polynoamial The boring version is already here for solo devs. An agent running unattended has your shell, ssh keys, and .env in reach. Most of the risk is scope, not exotic coordination: what can it read and write when nobody is watching.

@r0ktech When the session limits hit, it just means it's time to work by hand!

@Shivam25mishra Agents need guardrails. Enterprises have them. Individual developers deserve them.

@yevkollab @moguzbulbul So am I a winner or loser if I do both?

@b_nnett Poetic.

Current Stack: Claude Web App for Prompting, Claude Desktop for Coding, Codex for Review, Muse and Gemini after hitting Session Limit.

@rickyrates Fair catch. And the scarier version is the change you never notice. No diff, no alert, just a persistent hook waiting. That's the part Hound exists to show.

@lucas_builds I can’t, but I can show you many developers who wished their coding agents had more security measures…
