Hoop
Hoop is a policy gateway that sits between people or AI agents and the infrastructure they operate on -- databases, servers, container platforms -- inspecting every command before it is allowed through. It can automatically block destructive commands, such as one that would delete an entire database table, and can require human approval through Slack for commands judged risky. It can also mask sensitive fields, such as phone numbers or payment card numbers, in query results before they reach the requester.
The tool is explicitly positioned for a world where AI agents hold credentials to production infrastructure and need a blast-radius limit independent of the agent's own judgment. It is open source and is used by publicly listed companies. There is no confirmed first-person production use yet, so it is placed in Assess.
