Agentinel
Stop AI agents from installing malicious packages.
Because your AI loves slopsquatting, Agentinel is a zero-cost, locally-run package guardrail for autonomous AI coding agents (like Claude Code and Cursor). It integrates directly at the hook level to intercept hallucinated and malicious npm packages before they execute, checking them against a 60,000+ threat database in under 2ms
Hey Product Hunt, I am thrilled to launch Agentinel today.
LLMs are incredible coders, but they are genuinely terrible at remembering exact npm package names. They frequently hallucinate packages or fall victim to slopsquatting, where attackers publish malicious packages with names that AIs are known to hallucinate. If you use autonomous agents like Claude Code or Copilot Workspace, your terminal is executing these installs automatically.
Agentinel acts as a security layer that sits between your AI agent and your package manager. It doesn't just scan your repo after the fact; it intercepts the AI's intended command and validates every package before it runs. It executes in under fast using local heuristics and a lightweight offline database, and it is 100% free and open source.
I built this because I wanted the speed of autonomous AI coding without the constant anxiety of what it was installing in the background.
Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any wild AI hallucination stories you've experienced. I will be hanging out in the comments all day to answer questions!
