Really cool approach to the containment problem. The insight about "capping the blast radius of a confused agent" resonates - decision fatigue is real when you're constantly approving agent actions.

The exfiltration controls are interesting. Have you thought about extending this to rate limiting and cost controls as well? We've been working on similar problems at keypost.ai - deterministic policy enforcement for MCP tool calls (rate limits, access control, cost caps).

One thing we've found is that the enforcement layer needs to be in-path rather than advisory - agents can be creative about working around soft limits. Curious how you're handling the boundary between "blocked" and "allowed but logged"?

Great work shipping this - the agent security space needs more practical tools.
