FaradAiWire: Zero-Trust Runtime & Skill Guard for Autonomous AI Agents

FaradAiWire is the open-source Go security gateway and pre-run skill auditor for AI agents. Intercept prompt injection, eliminate malicious skills, and redact credentials with zero FaradAiLab telemetry and sub-millisecond (<0.4ms) Go proxy overhead.

Zero Telemetry
100% Self-Hosted & Sovereign

Tool calls, prompts, and audit trails remain on your workstation. Zero bytes forwarded to external servers.

Auditable Codebase
Apache 2.0 Open Core

Inspect every line of compiled Go machine code. No secret binaries, telemetry phone-homes, or vendor lock-in.

Hybrid Intelligence
<0.4ms PEP + Local Decision Model

Microsecond deterministic DLP on the fast-path, backed by offline Local Decision Models (Laya, Llama-Guard, Qwen) for semantic defense.

Comprehensive Agent Defense

Dual-Pillar Protection for the Autonomous AI Era

Autonomous agents face threats at two distinct boundaries: the tools they execute at runtime and the skill packages and prompts they execute on your host machine. FaradAiWire provides dedicated, zero-compromise defense for both.

Pillar 1: Runtime Wire Gateway <0.4ms P99 Overhead

Runtime MCP Tool Interception

High-velocity Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) written in compiled Go. Positioned inline between IDE agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to sanitize JSON-RPC 2.0 tool execution frames in real-time.

Deterministic DLP & Secret Masking

Regex engines redact API tokens, private keys (`sk-proj`, `id_rsa`), and PII before tools receive them.

SSRF & Metadata Firewall

Prevents rogue web-browsing agents from hitting AWS IMDSv2 metadata (`169.254.169.254`) or loopback ports.

Dynamic Tool Schema Pinning

Detects and blocks silent parameter mutations and tool poisoning rug-pulls during runtime sessions.

# Start local proxy on port 8090
$ faradaiwire run --port 8090 --dlp=strict --slm=local
Pillar 2: Pre-Run Skill Governance Deterministic + Decision Model

Agent Skill & Supply-Chain Security

Autonomous agents load external "Skills" (prompt instructions, bash scripts, and tool configs). FaradAiWire audits downloaded skills for backdoors, privilege escalation, and malicious prompt injections before you allow agents to run them.

Fast Heuristic Linter (<1ms)

Scans Python, Bash, and JS files for reverse shells (`/dev/tcp/`), `rm -rf /`, and `sudo` privilege escalation.

Local Decision Model Semantic Audit

Deep offline neural inspection of markdown system prompts to detect hidden goal-hijacks and prompt jailbreaks.

CI/CD & Pre-Commit Integration

Run automated gate checks in GitHub Actions to prevent malicious community skills from entering your repository.

# Audit skill folder before agent execution

Defense Alignment Scorecard

Full-Spectrum AI Threat Matrix

Autonomous agents span both LLM conversational data and host tool execution. FaradAiWire provides end-to-end coverage across the official OWASP Top 10 for LLM and emerging Agentic Execution threats with complete latency transparency.

OWASP LLM01MITIGATED

Indirect Prompt Injection−

Unsanitized tool outputs (scraped web pages, tickets, PDFs) containing instructions to hijack the agent.

FaradAiWire Defense Layer:Deep-Path Local Decision Model (Laya, Llama-Guard, Qwen) scans tool outputs before LLM context ingestion.
Performance Cost:~30ms Decision Model
OWASP LLM02ENFORCED

Sensitive Information Disclosure+

Agent leaking production API keys, database connection strings, or private PII into tool arguments or logs.

OWASP LLM03 / Supply ChainENFORCED

Tool Poisoning & Schema Rug-Pulling+

Malicious MCP server modifying parameter definitions dynamically to harvest environmental variables.

OWASP LLM06 / AgencyENFORCED

Excessive Agency & Destructive Action+

Rogue or confused agent attempting destructive system operations (dropping tables, mass-deleting files).

OWASP LLM07ENFORCED

Assistant Prefill & System Context Leak+

Adversary manipulating conversational turn prefixes to force the LLM to reveal protected system prompts.

OWASP LLM10ENFORCED

Unbounded Consumption & Tool Loops+

Hallucinating agent stuck in recursive duplicate tool calls, burning compute, memory, and API spend.

Agentic Threat ASI-04ENFORCED

Malicious Agent Skill & Script Execution+

Downloaded third-party skill folders containing obfuscated reverse shells or credential-stealing shell scripts.

Agentic Threat SSRF-01ENFORCED

Cloud Metadata SSRF Exploitation+

Agent prompted to fetch link-local address `169.254.169.254` to harvest AWS/GCP instance role tokens.
