Guardrails to validate your agent's actions before they execute
Last verified:
Your agent processed a refund without looking up the order ID, costing you thousands. You only found out three hours later from a support ticket. Evals, output scoring, and observability can reduce the likelihood of mistakes like these occurring - but there's no solution that inspects and prevents an action as it’s about to execute.

Kevin and Vedant were roommates at Stanford, where they both studied computer science.
