Talos

Overview

Talos was introduced via Show HN as an AI agent framework that inserts a **permission kernel** between the LLM and the underlying shell or operating system. The project exposes a controlled set of actions, logs, and approvals around file system and process operations, limiting what an agent can do without explicit consent. Developers should care because Talos offers a security-focused agent runtime suitable for running powerful coding or automation agents on real machines with reduced risk.
