aw1-breaker is a Python security circuit breaker that intercepts AI agent tool calls at the AST level, using declarative policies and HMAC tokens to deterministically block malicious operations with sub-millisecond latency. It targets the growing need for deterministic guardrails in autonomous agent systems, contrasting with probabilistic LLM-based filters.
Target audience: AI/ML engineers, backend developers, security engineers
