Show HN: Runtime Fence – Kill switch for AI agents (github.com/runtimeadmin)

Author here. Built this after an AI agent deleted my database at 2AM. Runtime Fence gives you emergency stop controls for any AI agent - blocks dangerous actions, sets spending limits, full audit trail. Works with LangChain, AutoGPT, any Python agent. MIT licensed. pip install runtime-fence


Update: Mozilla just announced Firefox will add an AI kill switch (Feb 2026) after users demanded control over AI features.

This validates what runtime-fence does for AI agents. If browsers need AI controls, autonomous agents (which can actually execute commands) need them even more.

runtime-fence provides action-level blocking that goes deeper than browser toggles - it prevents agents from deleting files, executing shell commands, or draining wallets.

The industry is waking up to AI safety. We're already shipping it.
