Viberails: Guardrails for AI Operations

The recent attention on OpenClaw brought something we've known for a while at LimaCharlie into sharp focus: Unrestricted AI operations are extremely powerful and incredibly risky. 

The security challenges presented by AI adoption can rival the productivity gains it delivers. Unrestricted AI agents can read credentials, execute commands, send emails, and make API calls without meaningful oversight. The headlines write themselves: “Personal AI Agents like OpenClaw Are a Security Nightmare” and “OpenClaw: The Rise, Chaos, and Security Nightmare of the First Real AI Agent”. 

Yet, the power and productivity gains of agentic AI are simply too formidable to hand-wave away with security warnings. People are waking up to the potential of AI agents and demand for its capabilities is growing exponentially.

Teams will adopt these tools regardless of security concerns. It is up to security practitioners to find a way to introduce AI safely. Fortunately, LimaCharlie has a solution that delivers the power of agentic AI while effectively managing the security risks.

Introducing Viberails

Viberails solves agentic AI risks by introducing transparency and accountability to agentic operations. 

It does this by addressing four major challenges security teams face when deploying AI tools:

1. Auditing tool activity

2. Controlling tool calls and their real-world impact

3. Centralized management of AI tooling

4. Simple implementation and frictionless deployment

By solving these problems the considerable risks associated with AI use are greatly reduced. For example, prompt injections pose less danger in an environment where agentic activity is auditable and risky tool calls are blocked before execution. 

Likewise, having an auditable trail of agentic activity gives you direct insight into how AI is making decisions and executing commands. Visibility is the key to securing any system, which is why black-box AI solutions will always be a risky proposition. 

How does it work?

Viberails works by intercepting tool calls from OpenClaw and other agentic systems before execution and validating them against your policies in real-time. This happens with approximately 50ms round-trip latency.

Through tool-call interception and validation you gain granular control over what AI agents can do. For example, you can block reads to credential files, prevent unauthorized emails, or stop SSH key creation.

Viberails ships with baseline detection rules (non-blocking by default), giving you a starting point. However, the platform is designed to let you define policies for any tool call based on your specific security requirements.
