Let your developers ship with Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot — without shipping your secrets with them.
Coding agents read your .env files, execute shell commands, and install packages — autonomously. Operant Endpoint Protector secures every coding agent at the device, so credentials never leave, malicious packages never run, and proprietary code never leaks. Developers feel nothing. Security teams see everything.

Five vectors. Every one of them is a coding agent doing exactly what it was designed to do.
The same capabilities that make Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot transformative — autonomous file access, shell execution, package installation, deep codebase context — also created an attack surface no traditional security tool was built to see. The answer isn't restriction. It's a security layer that operates at the same speed and layer as the agent itself.
Coding agents install packages autonomously. Adversaries are exploiting this. A poisoned LiteLLM build hit PyPI in March 2026 and was auto-installed by AI IDEs within six minutes — an order of magnitude faster than any SCA scan cycle.
- CodeInjectionGuard
intercepts every install before execution — scanning for credential harvesters, obfuscated hooks, and known patterns.
A poisoned README, a crafted error message, or a malicious comment can hide instructions that cause an agent to run shell commands on the attacker's behalf — harvesting credentials, installing persistence, or opening reverse shells into your infrastructure.
- Real-time shell command monitoring distinguishes legitimate developer tooling from injection-driven attacks — and blocks before execution.
.env files. AWS configs. SSH keys. Database connection strings. They live right next to the code your developer asks Claude Code to debug — and they leave the device with the first prompt.
- Inline auto-redaction tokenizes credentials in every outbound prompt — bidirectionally, invisibly, with zero workflow friction.
Cursor indexes your full codebase. Claude Code reads across files. Every session transmits proprietary algorithms, internal APIs, and architectural patterns to vendor infrastructure — where some providers retain logs and others train on inputs.
- ScopeGuard
enforces repository and file-level access policies. Tokenize proprietary identifiers before they leave the device.
Developers install Cline, Windsurf, and custom MCP-connected agents in days. The gap between what's running and what security has reviewed is structural — and permanent under any approval-based governance model.
- Behavior-based detection surfaces every coding agent automatically — installed apps, browser tools, MCP clients, and local models. New tools covered the day they're adopted.
Coding agents now call internal databases, CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and proprietary APIs through MCP — with non-human identities that often have broader access than any employee. Most security stacks have no concept of MCP semantics.
- Every MCP tool call is logged with full prompt context. Scope boundaries are enforced in real time. Custom agents get the same coverage as commercial ones.
Discover. Monitor. Redact. Block.
Operant Endpoint Protector is purpose-built for the threat model of coding agents — not adapted DLP, not bolted-on API gateway, but designed from the ground up to operate at the only layer where coding agent risk can actually be prevented: the developer's device.
Your secrets never leave the device. Your Claude Code keeps debugging accurately.
The credential exposure problem in coding agents is structural — a consequence of how these tools work, not a bug vendors will patch. Bidirectional tokenization is the only control that addresses it at the layer where it occurs.
Every coding agent. Same protection. Behavior-based, not app-list-based.
Endpoint Protector is a behavioral security layer — it governs what an agent does, not which application produces the behavior. New coding agents get coverage automatically the moment developers run them.

No traditional security tool was built for this. Operant was.
Every alternative — EDR, network DLP, CASB, SCA, AIDR — shares the same structural limitation when applied to coding agents: they operate after data has left the device. For credentials, malicious packages, and shell injection, "after" is too late.
The only vendor recognized across all five Gartner AI security categories.
For coding agent security specifically, Operant's coverage spans the most relevant categories: AI TRiSM, API Protection for MCP and tool-call governance, and Agentic AI Security guidance for the autonomous behavior that defines modern coding tools.
On every developer device. Without slowing anyone down.
A lightweight agent on developer workstations, laptops, and CI/CD runners. No code changes. No IDE modifications. No developer-facing configuration. The developer's experience of their coding agent is unchanged. The security team's visibility is complete.
