nio

What problem does it solve?

Nio helps you prevent autonomous AI agents from executing risky tool calls by evaluating them before they run and recording auditable decisions you can review later.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Action safety evaluation (Phase 0–6): Checks exec commands, network requests, secrets, and file operations and returns allow/deny/confirm decisions based on configurable policy.
• Code scanning for execution risks: Scans a codebase for known patterns such as shell execution, prompt injection, credential leakage, webhooks/exfiltration domains, and obfuscation.
• Observability and audit logging (OTEL + JSONL): Captures tool calls as OpenTelemetry metrics/traces and writes a local audit trail for post-incident review.
• Use Case: When deploying an agent to production with Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenClaw, or Hermes, you can proactively block dangerous actions and surface clear evidence for every decision.

Quick Start

Run: nio scan ./your-project to produce an execution risk report for the codebase.
