Talos

Talos is an AI agent with a built-in permission kernel designed to provide a secure and controlled environment for executing real work. The system solves the problem of agent over-autonomy and security risks by placing a deterministic gate in front of every tool call, ensuring that permissions are granted for exact arguments, expire after 30 seconds, and are fully logged. It is built for a single operator managing one machine who needs to hand a shell or coding tasks to an AI without risking unintended system modifications.
