Geiger: Auditing Local AI Agents and Their Blast Radius
Original title:Show HN: Geiger – See every AI agent on your machine and what it can touch
Open Source74
As local AI agents gain execution permissions across developer machines, their actual blast radius often remains opaque. Geiger is an open-source auditing tool designed to detect running agent processes, inspect the system interfaces and directories they interact with, and map out their effective access boundaries. Instead of relying on blind trust or scattered logs, it offers an inspectable surface for developers seeking to track what autonomous models can touch in the background.
Why it's worth reading
With autonomous coding agents increasingly running commands locally, Geiger provides a lightweight, timely lens to inspect agent permissions before security gaps emerge.
