Burn-after-read encrypted notes for AI agents. Create and read self-destructing notes via Volta Notes with AES-256-GCM E2E encryption — the decryption key never leaves the URL fragment. Secure credential handoff between users and agents without secrets appearing in chat history.
Check whether anything you depend on is known malware, before an agent installs it. checklockfile takes a package-lock.json, yarn.lock or pnpm-lock.yaml and matches every pinned version against published malicious-package advisories in one call, free and with no API key, catching compromised releases like chalk@5.6.1 while leaving their clean releases alone. scanartifact adds deterministic behavioral analysis (no LLM in the serving path) for credential theft, exfiltration, obfuscation, prompt injection and install-time droppers, with the file, line and evidence that triggered it; verdicts are SHA-256-bound so you can re-verify what landed on disk.
