What it does

Vigils runs a local control plane that watches AI‑agent actions, lets you approve or block them, and keeps any API keys or secrets off the network.

When to use it
  • •You’re giving internal teams access to LLM‑powered agents and need a safety‑gate before they can call external services.
  • •You want to experiment with AI agents on a laptop without exposing your OpenAI or Anthropic keys to the cloud.
  • •Your product ships a Chrome extension that talks to AI agents and you need a desktop UI to audit those calls in real‑time.
Ready-to-paste prompt
vigils approve --request-id 42   # approves the pending outbound request with ID 42 that the agent just generated
Heads up: The Chrome MV3 extension can only talk to `http://127.0.0.1` on ports that Chrome allows (default is 8080); if you change the server port you must also update the `manifest.json` `host_permissions` field, otherwise the extension will be blocked.
