Runtime security that decides what your AI agents are allowed to do
Wrap agent tool calls and get a typed decision - allow, block, redact or hold for review - before the tool actually executes, based on actor, role, route and typed inputs.
Screen user input, fetched web pages, API responses and tool output for hostile instructions before anything reaches the model context.
Detect and strip names, addresses, national IDs, bank and card numbers before they reach model context, logs or third-party tools, with optional in-process local detection.
Bot protection, WAF rules, rate limiting, signup form protection and email validation to keep public endpoints and signup flows clean.

Write code with precision, hand bigger jobs to agents, and keep working from anywhere
Agents open the repository, form a plan, edit multiple files and explain the changes so you can review each diff before accepting it. You can also run several agents in parallel to push a backlog forward.
Point the editor at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or open-weight models, or bring your own key. Pick the Copilot, Claude or Codex harness that matches how you like to work.
JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS work out of the box, and Marketplace extensions add IntelliSense, linting, refactoring and debuggers for Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust and more.
Integrated terminal, source control, debugger, testing, Jupyter notebooks, an integrated browser and Dev Containers all live in one window, so you stay close to the code.
