> Provisional patent application filed: #64/054,240 (April 30, 2026). 35 claims covering state machine guardrail enforcement for LLM agent tool access. The core engine remains Apache 2.0 open source.
I'm not sure I understand what the "core engine" is if it's not the "state machine guardrail runtime" which is what the patent cover. What parts are the open source parts exactly?
I find the idea really interesting and was nodding along the way as I read what you wrote, makes sense both for the human and the agent, seems like a really nice idea that'd help, but the patent kind of makes me want to run away and not look into it too deeply.
