AegisKernel is a Python security runtime for AI agents that uses deterministic taint tracking and capability-based access control to block prompt injection and tool hijacking at the syscall boundary. It wraps external data in TaintedString to track provenance, enforces policy grants on privileged actions, and logs forensic audit trails, claiming sub-millisecond interception.

Target audience: AI/ML engineers, security engineers, backend developers deploying autonomous agents
