CrabTrap: An LLM-as-a-judge HTTP proxy to secure agents in production
CrabTrap is an open-source LLM-based HTTP proxy that enables safe AI agent deployment by intercepting and evaluating every request against defined policies in real time, reducing operational risk and security vulnerabilities associated with autonomous agents. For IT organizations, this represents a critical governance layer that allows controlled experimentation with AI agents while maintaining compliance and security posture. The tool's ease of deployment and hybrid rule-based/LLM judgment approach provides immediate protection without requiring extensive infrastructure changes.
