3 Key Points

  1. Software engineer with 14 years experience created AgentsAegis after realizing he was approving Claude Code permission requests without reading them first

  2. The tool works as a Go proxy between AI assistants and APIs, intercepting responses and injecting realistic trap commands to catch users approving blindly

  3. A 2-minute quiz version (free, no signup required) has already attracted significant participation with 80+ responses showing high failure rates

  4. Open-source approach prioritized over closed-source to build user trust, addressing risks like accidental production destruction via Terraform commands
