Introduction

Polaxis is the security and governance layer for AI agents. It sits between your agents and every tool they call — intercepting, evaluating, and blocking dangerous actions before they execute.

The problem

AI agents are shipping to production without guardrails. When something goes wrong — and it does — there’s no audit trail, no kill switch, no way to explain what happened.

April 2026: An AI agent deleted an entire production database in 9 seconds via Railway API
December 2025: Claude Code ran terraform destroy on 1.9 million rows
2025: 28.65 million secrets exposed on GitHub — AI-related leaks up 81%

The solution

One SDK. Three lines. Every tool call governed.

from polaxis import Polaxis

guard = Polaxis(api_key="ag_prod_...", agent_id="billing-agent")
result = await guard.evaluate(tool_name, tool_input)
# → allow | block (raises BlockedError) | escalate (waits for human)

What Polaxis does

7-layer firewall on every tool call:

Regex scan — pattern matching, <1ms
Risk scorer — threat level 0–100
LLM gate — semantic analysis, fires only when needed
Behavioral baseline — anomaly detection
Session graph — cross-call correlation
Threat intel — known attack patterns
Policy engine — your custom rules

89% of calls never touch an LLM. Pure Python speed.

Four pillars

Pillar	What it does
Policy Engine	YAML rules that block, allow, or escalate any tool call
Human Approvals	Slack notifications for high-risk actions — one click to approve or reject
Budget Controls	Session and daily spend caps. Hard stop when limit hit.
Compliance Reports	SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, EU AI Act, OWASP — one-click PDF

Key stats

<1ms policy decision latency
Sub-50ms full firewall
89% of calls evaluated in pure Python (no LLM cost)
5 frameworks covered in one compliance report
