Primary tools included: Deterministic, fail-closed policy enforcement for MCP tool calls, Offline-verifiable, tamper-evident evidence bundles of decisions and observations, Kernel-level IPv4/TCP egress enforcement via eBPF/LSM and Landlock on Linux.
Free AU insurance vault MCP: OAuth policies, renewals, coverage Q&A, file PDFs. Not advice/sales.
Policy-as-code gate for MCP. A fail-closed proxy that denies risky tool calls before they run, produces offline-verifiable evidence bundles of what executed, and enforces IPv4/TCP egress in-kernel via eBPF/LSM and Landlock on Linux. Deterministic and offline-first.
Insuro is categorized under Security and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Assay belongs to Security using local stdio subprocess. Select Insuro when you need capabilities focused on security and Assay when you require tools for security.
