Core features

Lead with the controls that change behavior.

Two controls do the work. The rest helps you inspect the outcome.

Guardian Agent

Change behavior before the request leaves.

  • DLP on prompts, tool inputs, and file reads.
  • Token caps for oversized requests.
  • Vulnerability Guard on installs and dependency writes.
  • Update Advisor for exact outdated pins.
Token Saver

Cut waste before it reaches the model.

  • Compress verbose shell output.
  • Cache repeated file reads.
  • Shrink noisy search, diff, and JSON responses.
  • Track saved tokens in logs and analytics.
Flow

Simple flow, local boundary.

Requests go in. Guardian or Saver acts. Review surfaces keep the trail visible.

Charts that answer whether it helped.

  • models used
  • token totals and savings
  • latency and tool-call trends
Logs

Compact event history.

  • Token Saver reductions
  • exportable trail
Also included

Garden turns project activity into a visual map.

  • groves for modules
  • trees for files
  • symbols and import edges
