Loopers

Firewall for the Agentic Era

Ever had an autonomous agent get stuck in a loop and burn your budget while you stepped away?
We built Loopers because we lived that exact nightmare. Loopers is the runtime security firewall and governance platform that gives your autonomous agents hard boundaries — before a single dollar is billed or a rogue tool executes.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

The 3 things that go wrong when you build with agents

If you have built with Aider, Claude Code, LangGraph, or custom agent swarms, you have probably lived through at least one of these:

01 · THE RUNAWAY LOOP

"I just wanted it to fix a bug"

You gave your agent a coding task and stepped out for coffee. The model hit a minor error, hallucinated a broken patch, failed again, and retried 50 times in an infinite reasoning loop. You only find out when OpenAI charges your card.

How Loopers stops it: Pre-call atomic budget leases. If you set a $5 daily limit, it physically cannot bill $5.01. The moment a loop is detected, Loopers severs the streaming connection mid-sentence.
02 · THE PROMPT TRAP

"I told it not to delete anything in AGENTS.md"

System prompts are polite requests, not security boundaries. As conversation context expands or the agent ingests messy third-party web content, it forgets directives and executes dangerous shell commands or leaks database secrets.

How Loopers stops it: Loopers sits outside the agent in the network path. Dangerous commands and secret leaks are blocked cold, returning error code -32001 so the agent self-corrects without crashing.
03 · THE "TOO LATE" DASHBOARD

"Great, a chart showing my money is already gone"

Traditional observability tools and gateways are passive recorders. They are like a security camera filming a burglary — they send a Slack notification after your budget is burned or data is exfiltrated.

How Loopers stops it: Loopers is proactive. It holds requests in the network path until budget and policy checks pass. It stops the catastrophe before a single token is billed.
THE ARCHITECTURAL DIFFERENCE

Why Prompting and In-App Libraries Can't Protect You

You wouldn't secure a web server by asking user input to behave nicely. You put a firewall in front of it. Autonomous agents need the exact same network boundary.

Prompt Rules (AGENTS.md)

Probabilistic. Bypassed by jailbreaks, context truncation, or model hallucinations.

In-Process Python SDKs

Heavy dependencies, high latency, and easily circumvented if the host process crashes.

Observability Gateways

Purely reactive. Only logs disasters after your credit card has been charged.

Loopers

Out-of-process network proxy. Pre-call atomic budget leases. Mid-stream cutoff. Zero SDK changes.

ZERO-CODE INTEGRATION

Keep your agent code exactly as it is

Loopers is framework-agnostic. Route your traffic without installing SDKs or changing existing agent logic.

CLI WRAPPER · ZERO SETUP

Wrap Any Local CLI Agent

Wrap tools like aider, claude, openhands, or gemini:

# Export proxy key & provider key

export LOOPERS_PROXY_KEY="lp-your-key"

export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-actual-key"


# Run safely under Loopers

loopers exec -- aider

BASE URL REDIRECT · UNIVERSAL

Works with Python, Node, Swarms

Point LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, or raw SDKs by updating one environment variable:

# Point client to Loopers proxy

export OPENAI_BASE_URL=\

"http://localhost:8080/lp-xxx/openai/v1"


export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-actual-key"

# Run existing agent code

python run_agent.py

DEPLOYMENT CHOICES

Choose how you want to run Loopers

LOOK UP · WE'RE RIGHT HERE

Ask Us for a 60-Second Live Demo

Since you just scanned our QR code, you're standing right in front of us! Look up and talk to Varad or Mayank—we can run a live terminal demo right now showing an agent loop getting severed in real time.

Things you can ask us right now at the booth:

  • "Can you show me a live demo of Loopers killing an infinite agent loop in the terminal?"
  • "How do we wrap our existing Aider / Claude / LangGraph agents without changing code?"
  • "How does team-wide budget enforcement work for multiple developers?"
