Brex CrabTrap: LLM Proxy Blocks Agentic AI Prompt Injection
Brex has open-sourced CrabTrap, an HTTP proxy that uses an LLM-as-a-judge architecture to intercept, evaluate, and block or allow requests made by AI agents in real time against configurable policies. The tool targets a critical gap in agentic AI deployments — the lack of runtime guardrails for autonomous agent actions — and represents a practical defensive control against excessive agency and prompt injection exploitation. Its production-oriented design positions it as a notable contribution to the emerging agentic AI security toolchain.
