Coding agents
Let coding agents work fast, without letting them wreck anything.
Coding agents run commands and change files on real machines and in real repositories. Cognilox checks each command and each file change before it happens, lets ordinary work straight through, and stops the handful that could do real harm.
Coding agent wants to
Pipe a script downloaded from the internet straight into the shell
The risk
What can go wrong.
A command runs before anyone reads it
An agent that can run a shell can delete a folder, overwrite history or install something it found online, all in the time it takes to blink.
An agent can loosen its own limits
If an agent can edit its own settings, it can quietly switch off the checks that were meant to hold it.
Keys end up in the wrong place
Access keys get pasted into code, commit messages and logs, and from there into places they should never reach.
Same day, two endings
Flip the switch.
The same four moments for a coding agent, without Cognilox and with it.
A coding agent, on an ordinary day
- 1
Pipe a script downloaded from the internet straight into the shell
BlockedDenied before it runs. The agent is told which rule it broke. - 2
Rewrite its own settings to remove a check
BlockedRefused. An agent cannot change the rules it works under. - 3
Run a one-line program it just wrote
Held for approvalHeld for two people. The agent's own owner cannot approve it. - 4
Fix a failing test and commit to a branch
AllowedStraight through. The agent never slows down.
Flip the switch to compare the same actions.
What you get
Built for coding agents.
Questions
Straight answers.
Ordinary work goes straight through. Only the commands your rules mark as risky wait for a person, and you can start in watch-only mode to see what would be held before anything is.
No. Changes to the agent's own settings are refused, and a rule change that would remove a protection is refused before it takes effect.

More solutions
Other places agents act.
Data agents
Cognilox checks every database statement an AI agent sends. Risky changes are tested first and show how much they would change, then held for approval or blocked.
Learn moreInfrastructure agents
Cognilox reviews AI agents' infrastructure changes before they are applied, catching deleted data stores, systems opened to the internet and widened permissions.
Learn moreCustomer-facing agents
Cognilox checks every reply an AI agent writes before your customer sees it, removing secrets, card numbers and unsafe links, and stopping hijack attempts from messages.
Learn moreConnected agents
Cognilox checks the tool calls AI agents make into your CRM and internal systems, catches tampered and invented tools, and holds risky calls for approval.
