A few days ago , while browsing Reddit, I came across a comment that mentioned this project. It caugth my attention because the phrase that best describes it is something like = you dont realize how important a seatbelt is until you've had an accident The Ai agents we use today have full access to the filesystem. These agents have full filesystem access and can read or delete anything. Phylax blocks that at the OS level.

I tried it out because I was curious to see how this kind of approach worked. It’s basically a firewall for the filesystem: you can define rules to block, allow, or ask for confirmation when an agent tries to read or modify files. It works at the operating system level, not as a wrapper around the tool.
