CoworkGuard — Runtime Visibility for AI Tools

The missing layer

Invisible behaviour, made visible.

Most tools give you logs. CoworkGuard gives you the sequence: what touched private data, what connected outward, and why it matters.

Review recommended. CoworkGuard saw sensitive local access followed by outbound activity. Strong actor tracking can turn this from a possible sequence into a confirmed one.

Runtime activity

Real-time visibility without the noise.

A calm local dashboard for AI sessions, sensitive events, blocked responses, and behavioural timelines.

Sensitive access See when tools touch credentials, private files, or AI configs.

Outbound flow Understand which endpoint was contacted and when.

Actor tracking Link activity back to the same app, process, extension, or session.

What it watches

Built for the new local AI surface.

AI security is no longer just cloud-side. It is happening inside browsers, IDEs, terminals, extensions, and local agent workflows.

AI Apps<br>Monitor desktop assistants, coding agents, local runtimes, and AI-powered IDEs.

Browser Tools<br>Track AI sessions, prompt APIs, risky domains, and extension behaviour.

MCP & Tools<br>Inspect tool responses before they reach the model context.

Sensitive Activity<br>Flag credentials, tokens, secret files, hidden instructions, and outbound payloads.

Privacy

Your data stays on your machine.

CoworkGuard is designed as a local visibility layer. It does not need an account, cloud pipeline, or telemetry stream to protect you.

✓No cloud dependency

✓No account required

✓No telemetry or analytics

✓No raw prompt storage

✓Open source and auditable

The shift

Trusted tooling is becoming the new attack surface.

AI assistants, extensions, MCP tools, and developer agents now operate with broad access to local machines. CoworkGuard adds runtime visibility to that new layer of computing.

AI coding agents workspace + shell

MCP tools tool output injection

Browser AI features tab + prompt activity

Local scripts process + network

CoworkGuard

The observability layer for AI-native computing.
