Show HN: QuantmLayer – kernel-enforced containment for AI coding agents
QuantmLayer Kernel-enforced containment for AI coding agents. quantmlayer.com · Quickstart · Demo · Security A security runtime for coding agents. We don't secure what agents say — we secure what agents are allowed to do. An autonomous coding agent runs with your shell's privileges: it can read ~/.ssh/id_rsa, exfiltrate secrets, exhaust the host, ptrace other processes, or hit the cloud-metadata endpoint to steal cloud credentials.

We don't secure what agents say — we secure what agents are allowed to do. An autonomous coding agent runs with your shell's privileges: it can read ~/.ssh/id_rsa, exfiltrate secrets, exhaust the host, ptrace other processes, or hit the cloud-metadata endpoint to steal cloud credentials. QuantmLayer wraps the agent in a kernel-enforced containment cell built from a portable, declarative profile, so a compromised or prompt-injected agent can't reach anything it wasn't explicitly granted.
