‘Guardian’ Apps Aim to Stop AI Agents From Going Rogue

As rogue AI agents cause security problems and product outages even at sophisticated companies such as Meta and Amazon, major firms such as ServiceNow as well as startups are developing new AI to monitor and stop them.

The new AI, also known as guardian AI agents, comes in the form of a cloud application and can be laborious to set up. To use a guardian AI app, customers need to connect it to other AI agents they use—including ones developed with OpenClaw, Claude Code and Agentforce—using standard application programming interfaces or model context protocol servers that enable such connections or monitoring.
