Show HN: Agent_acid – ACID rollbacks and dry-run guardrails for AI agents
agent_acid ACID-style transaction guarantees for autonomous AI agents. Guardrails — hard, code-level rules (not prompts) that block bad AI outputs even when nothing "crashes." Stateful (session-wide) guardrails — catch multi-step manipulation, like an attacker or a manipulated AI splitting one large forbidden action into several small, individually-legal ones ("salami slicing"). This isn't a theoretical framework — every claim below is backed by a runnable test or live demo in this repo.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
agent_acid ACID-style transaction guarantees for autonomous AI agents. AI agents that take real-world actions (charging cards, writing to databases, sending emails, calling APIs) have no standard way to "undo" a partially-completed task, and most guardrail systems only validate one action at a time — with no memory of the session. agent_acid closes both gaps: Automatic rollback — if any step in a multi-step agent plan fails, every completed step before it is automatically undone, in reverse order.
