PocketVeto: Bluetooth AI agent control from your phone

PocketVeto addresses a specific pain point for developers who use AI coding agents: the need to authorize potentially dangerous operations (like running shell commands or writing files) without being tethered to their workstation. By moving approval decisions to a phone via Bluetooth, the tool removes friction from remote supervision while preserving security — the Bluetooth-only design ensures that approval requests work even in corporate or isolated WiFi environments where local network traffic is blocked or unreliable.

The architecture is straightforward: a Rust server binary on the host machine runs an HTTP API, SQLite audit log, and Bluetooth bridge; the Android app holds an open socket and displays notifications and a live dashboard. Integration is direct — the tool hooks into Cursor and Claude Code's native extension points (hook.json configuration files) so agents automatically send approval requests before executing risky operations. This means no modification to the agents themselves is needed.
