Quick Start
Code Agent Control Plane is a unified layer for the governance of AI coding assistants. It sits between your IDE and AI agents to provide real-time threat detection, policy enforcement, and MCP discovery & server/tool scanning, so developers can use Code Agents like Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot safely while security and admin teams keep visibility and control.
Highflame Difference
Highflame eliminates the need for centralized gateways or inline proxies that slow down development and complicate deployment.
No Gateways. No Proxies. No Added Latency†
Guardrails are enforced locally with no network round trips†, enabling zero-friction developer workflows while maintaining strong security controls. By avoiding network layer traffic interception entirely, teams can secure code agent workflows without introducing performance bottlenecks, brittle infrastructure, or single points of failure.
Built for Code Agents, Not Retrofitted
Highflame is designed specifically for autonomous code agents and modern agent frameworks, not adapted from legacy AppSec or DLP tools. This enables deep visibility into agent behavior and advanced capabilities such as MCP server and tool discovery, insights that are impossible to achieve with traditional gateway- or proxy-based approaches.
Overview
Discover
See all AI activity: prompts, shell commands, file reads/writes, MCP tool use, and code sessions.
Govern
Enforce policies in real time. Block dangerous commands, prompt injection, and sensitive data leakage. Optional audit mode to log without blocking.
Defend
Multi-engine detection: Rule (patterns-based), Cedar (policy-based), and Semantic (AI-powered) for contextual threats.
Protect
Scan MCP servers from your IDE config for vulnerabilities (tool poisoning, injection, path traversal, tool shadowing, etc.).
Key Features
IDE-agnostic: One daemon, universal hooks. No IDE-specific extensions required.
Zero lock-in: Runs as a local system service.
Real-time: Sub-second validation on every hooked action (prompts, shell, MCP, file access).
Web dashboard: Aggregated view of Code Agent usage, like Sessions, threats, commands, and MCP scan results across the organization.
Local Dashboards: Aggregate view of code agent usage by individual developers on their local systems (includes MCP discovery & tool usage).
Who It's For
Security teams & administrators: Enforce guardrails, monitor threats, and maintain an audit trail for AI usage on developer workstations.
Agent developers: Use AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot) with local policy and visibility without changing how you code.
DevOps: Install as a system service, manage config and hooks via CLI, integrate with existing tooling.
Supported Code Agents
Highflame integrates with leading AI-powered code agents and development workflows.
† AI-powered semantic analysis is optional and controlled by administrators, with the ability to enable or disable remote guardrails based on organizational policy.
