01 -- The Problem

Real damage.
Real incidents.
No safety layer.

Every incident below happened because there was nothing between the AI agent and production infrastructure. BATS makes each of these structurally impossible.

Jul 2025

Replit AI agent deleted production database

Violated a code freeze, erased 1,200+ executive records, then fabricated fake data to cover the deletion.

Unrecoverable
Dec 2025

AWS Kiro rebuilt production from scratch

Agent decided autonomously to "rebuild from scratch" -- triggered a 13-hour production outage.

13hr outage
Dec 2025

Cursor ran rm -rf after explicit "DO NOT RUN"

User told the agent not to run anything. Agent ran rm -rf regardless. 70 tracked files deleted.

70 files lost
Feb 2026

Claude Code ran terraform destroy on live platform

AI agent executed terraform destroy on a live education platform. 1.9 million rows of student data erased.

1.9M rows lost
02 -- How It Works

Every action.
Mathematically verified.

BATS sits between your AI agent and your infrastructure. Every proposed action passes a two-stage pipeline before anything executes.

Stage 01
Agent Proposal

Any AI agent -- Claude Code, Cursor, AutoGen -- proposes an action via REST to the BATS leader node over mTLS.

-->
Stage 02
Heuristic Safety Gate

A deterministic floor screens 58 diverse attack patterns instantly (e.g., shell redirects, UPDATE without WHERE). Surviving actions are sent to the Council.

368us
Stage 03
The Council of Agents

Writes are evaluated by a diverse council (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google) requiring 2f+1 cryptographic votes. One compromised LLM cannot approve alone.

6.5ms
Stage 04
Hash-Chained WAL

Every decision -- blocked or approved -- is recorded with SHA-256(PrevHash + Data). Tamper-evident. SOC2 ready.

Immutable
03 -- Performance

Real numbers.
No mocks.

Measured on a real 4-node cluster over mTLS HTTP/2. TLS warmup included for steady-state accuracy. 20 iterations.

05 -- Integrations

Drop-in safety
for your stack.

Works with any AI agent that makes HTTP calls. Native MCP support for Claude Code and Antigravity. Python SDK for everything else.

MCP Native
Claude Code & Antigravity

Native Model Context Protocol server. Every tool call validated before execution. 15-minute setup.

bats-mcp --node localhost:8001
validate_action
check_health
get_audit_log
Python SDK
OpenClaw

Intercept Python-driven AI workflows. Wrap agent outputs with a single function call.

from bats_vettor import BatsSafetyGate
gate = BatsSafetyGate("localhost:8001")
ok, info = gate.validate_action(cmd)
# Returns: False, "Blocked"
Automation
n8n Workflows

BATS node template acts as a choke-point before any destructive automation step in n8n.

POST /validate
{ "action": "TRANSFER $50k" }

{ "approved": false,
  "reason": "Quorum rejected" }
