AGENT OBSERVABILITY · EARLY ACCESS

The control plane for AI agents.

HKT records, monitors, and constrains agent workflows. Blackbox tracing, OS-level safety, and cost guards — without slowing your agent down.

THE PROBLEM

Agents break. Dashboards show you the wreckage, not the cause.

01
73%

Constraint Decay

Long sessions lose context. Important instructions get compacted away. Your agent forgets what it was told and repeats itself.

of agents repeat actions
02
41%

Safety Evaporation

Prompt-layer safety controls aren't real boundaries. Agents find alternative paths through other tools.

Memory Contamination

Persistent memory acts like an ungoverned database. Preferences bleed across users. Sessions leak between projects.

Infinite Loops

Expired tokens, failed tool calls, and context overflow trigger endless retry loops that burn tokens and crash sessions.

Lost in the Codebase

Agents follow imports indefinitely, burning timeout on exploration instead of converging on a plan.

Blind Debugging

Dashboards show that a run failed. They can't tell you which step, which agent, or what missing state caused it.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps to control your agents.

STEP 01

Connect

Drop HKT into your existing workflow. One env var. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Hermes, and any OpenAI-compatible agent.

STEP 02

Observe

Every agent action gets recorded, classified, and scored. See what's happening in real time on a live dashboard.

STEP 03

Control

Set budgets, enforce safety rules, catch loops before they burn tokens. Intervene automatically, not manually.

PRODUCTS

Three tools, one runtime.

Blackbox records, Shield enforces, Cost Guard kills loops. Run them together or pick one.

FULL TRACE DEPTH

Agent Blackbox

See everything your agent does

Record every agent run: prompts, tool calls, file changes, commands, errors, decisions. Replay-grade traces, not just chat history.

  • Full prompt & response logging
  • Tool call chain visualization
  • File diff tracking with rollback
  • Timeline replay of entire sessions
OS-LEVEL ENFORCEMENT

Agent Shield

Real boundaries, not prompt suggestions

Real safety checks before agents edit files, run commands, or call APIs. Enforced at the OS and network level.

  • OS-level file write guard
  • Network request filtering
  • Command execution sandbox
  • Per-tool permission policies
REAL-TIME DETECTION

Cost Guard

Stop burning money on broken loops

Detect loops, wasted retries, and runaway token usage before they become expensive. Cost per successful task, not just total spend.

  • Real-time loop detection
  • Token budget per task
  • Cost-per-success metrics
  • Automatic circuit breaker

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What agents does HKT work with?+

Any agent that makes API calls, runs shell commands, or edits files. First-class integrations for Claude Code, Cursor, Hermes Agent, OpenAI Codex. OpenAI-compatible proxy for everything else.

Is this another monitoring dashboard?+

No. Dashboards show what happened. HKT prevents things from happening. Agent Shield enforces rules at the OS level, Cost Guard kills runaway loops in real time, Blackbox gives you replay-grade traces.

How much does it cost?+

Early access. Pricing hasn't been finalized, but early adopters lock in permanent founder pricing. Join the waitlist.

Does it slow down my agent?+

Under 2ms overhead per tool call. Async logging and non-blocking safety checks. Your agent won't notice.

Can I self-host it?+

Yes. Runs locally or in your own cloud. No data leaves your machine unless you opt into cloud features.
