Shoofly - AI Agent Security Sandbox

A pre-execution security layer for AI code agents that intercepts tool calls before they execute. Blocks prompt injection, credential theft, malware, and unauthorized file operations. Target: Teams deploying Claude, OpenAI, and other agents in production environments.

AI agents executing real code in production environments is genuinely new terrain — the wave of teams shipping Claude and GPT-based agents via tools like the Assistants API and Claude's tool use only reached meaningful adoption in 2023-2024, and the security tooling hasn't caught up. No clear incumbent owns this specific layer; Snyk and existing SAST tools operate on static code, not runtime tool-call interception, which leaves a real gap. The $3k-15k/mo revenue band is plausible if priced as a per-agent or per-seat SaaS targeting engineering teams rather than individual developers — security budgets at companies running agents in prod can absorb that easily. The biggest risk is timing dependency: if the major AI platforms (Anthropic, OpenAI) build native sandboxing and policy enforcement directly into their APIs, the entire moat collapses, and both have clear incentives to do exactly that.
