About Custos — The bouncer for your AI agents
Custos is a safety and control layer for AI agents. It sits between an agent and the tools it uses—like APIs, files, databases, shell commands, and MCP servers—and checks every action before it runs. You define what the agent is allowed to do, Custos blocks anything outside those rules, and every action is recorded in a tamper-evident audit trail. It’s open source, works with Python and TypeScript, and is built for teams running AI agents in real-world environments.
About The new Firecrawl /search
Search is how AI agents ground themselves in the web, but reading full pages for every query burns tokens fast. We trained a model that returns the excerpts from each /search result that best answer your query, giving your AI agents highly relevant context from every page. It outperforms processing full pages while using 10x fewer tokens. On SimpleQA, AI agents using Firecrawl /search now score 94.7%, higher than any other provider. It's live today on every /search call.
