About Custos — The bouncer for your AI agents
Custos is an open-source safety and control layer designed specifically for AI agents, acting as a reliable 'bouncer' for your applications. As AI agents increasingly interact with critical infrastructure, Custos sits directly between the agent and its tools—such as APIs, files, databases, shell commands, and MCP servers—to intercept and verify every single action before it is executed.
Built for teams deploying AI agents in real-world environments, Custos allows you to explicitly define rule sets determining what an agent is allowed to do, automatically blocking anything outside of those bounds. Furthermore, every action attempted or performed is recorded in a secure, tamper-evident audit trail. With native support for both Python and TypeScript, Custos provides developers with the robust security infrastructure needed to prevent AI agents from performing unintended or harmful actions.
