How to Evaluate AI Firewall Claims for Coding Agents

How to distinguish policy guidance from real runtime interception before coding tools gain wider access.

Published by CapitalGuard Security Research · Updated July 12, 2026

Policy files are not runtime interception

Repository policy can declare protected files, command restrictions, workflow review, redaction, and approval paths. It should not be called enforced unless actual operations are intercepted.

It must fit developer workflow

Controls that slow every edit will be bypassed. CapitalGuard generates focused guardrail starters that developers can install around high-impact paths first.

Detection comes before prevention

The right policy depends on the exposure report. CapitalGuard scans first, then turns the findings into practical controls for the customer's current scope.

Next step

Buy the license that fits the current scope.
