Software teams

Coding agents read files, run commands and call tools on developer machines and in CI. Vaara plugs into the agent hosts' own hooks, checks every call against one policy, refuses the dangerous ones and keeps a record your security team can read. It governs Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and Copilot CLI today.

Your developers run coding agents with their own keys and their own shell. Give them a gate and a record.

What you can do

  • Allow coding agents broadly, with one policy across every agent your teams use.
  • Put the risky commands, like deleting, pushing or reaching the network, behind a person.
  • Give security one record of what every agent did, on every machine.

What you are saved from

  • An agent that deletes, leaks or pushes because a file told it to.
  • A hook that crashes and lets everything through: Vaara's hooks fail closed.
  • Finding out from a customer what an agent did.

What it costs

Free to download and use, with nothing to sign up for. Paid work, such as a readiness review or a pilot in your own environment, is scoped to your case and priced as a fixed amount agreed before it starts. No subscription, no per-seat fee. Vaara is dual-licensed: free under the AGPL-3.0, or under a commercial licence when you build it into a product you ship closed, run a modified version as a service without publishing your changes, or your policy does not allow copyleft. Write to hello@vaara.io.

What it saves you

  • Security review time per agent rollout.
  • Incident time when something goes wrong.
  • Building a separate guardrail for every agent tool.

Every action ends in one of three states, and leaves a receipt

Allowed

Inside the rules: it goes through.

Needs a person

Unusual or risky: it waits until a person says yes or no.

Refused

Against the rules: it never happens.

Receipt

Every one of the three leaves a signed record of what was decided and why.
