We built the open-source layer for local AI agent visibility
Asymptote Lab has introduced Beacon, an open-source endpoint telemetry tool designed for security and IT teams to monitor local AI agent activities. The tool captures and normalizes data from various AI agent harnesses, allowing teams to inspect and retain this information locally. Beacon is easy to deploy and integrates with existing security information and event management (SIEM) systems while prioritizing local data visibility.

Asymptote Lab's Beacon Unified endpoint telemetry for AI agents. Docs · Install · For Security & IT Teams · Dashboard · Commands What Is Beacon? Beacon is Asymptote's open-source endpoint agent for security and IT teams that need visibility into local AI agent activity. It runs locally, captures supported activity from local agent harnesses like Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Factory Droid, Claude Cowork, and Cursor, then normalizes that activity into endpoint events your team can inspect and retain locally. Beacon is built to be easy to deploy for Security and IT teams through MDM deployment and to connect to Wazuh, Splunk HEC, or customer-managed SIEM pipelines, while remaining visibility-first and local-first during normal endpoint collection.
