01

Mediate and inspect

Control the boundary

Traffic mediation and protocol-specific inspection. Qualifiers state where Pipelock can see and enforce.

6 surfaces

network-mediation

HTTP, WebSocket, and proxy mediation

Free

Mediates agent traffic and applies URL, DLP, injection, and SSRF controls.

Command pipelock run
Deployment qualifier

Applies only to traffic routed through Pipelock; direct agent egress needs containment or network policy.

Read the docs

mcp-proxy-scanning

MCP proxy scanning

Free

Scans MCP traffic and applies configured tool, chain, and session controls.

Command pipelock mcp proxy
Deployment qualifier

Applies only to MCP transports that run through the Pipelock proxy.

Read the docs

rule-bundles

Rule bundles

Free

Loads signed rule bundles and applies their configured detection coverage.

Config rules
Read the docs

tls-interception

TLS interception

Free

Decrypts configured CONNECT tunnels so Pipelock can inspect HTTP bodies and headers.

Config tls_interception
Deployment qualifier

Requires a configured local CA that the intercepted client trusts; passthrough traffic remains encrypted and cannot be body-scanned.

Read the docs

a2a-scanning

A2A protocol scanning

Free

Scans Agent-to-Agent messages and Agent Cards for poisoning, drift, and session smuggling.

Config a2a_scanning
Deployment qualifier

Applies to A2A traffic carried on Pipelock's supported forward-proxy and MCP HTTP paths.

Read the docs

browser-shield

Browser shield

Free

Rewrites proxied HTML and JavaScript to remove configured browser traps and tracking code.

Config browser_shield
Deployment qualifier

Applies only to supported browser response traffic that flows through Pipelock.

02

Contain and enforce

Stop risky actions

Host controls and runtime policy that stop or escalate risky activity.

5 surfaces

agent-containment

Host containment for agent processes

Free

Installs, verifies, and rolls back nftables-backed host containment.

Command pipelock contain
Deployment qualifier

Kernel-enforced containment requires Linux, nftables, and the managed identities; other targets cannot provide this containment path.

Read the docs

single-agent-sandbox

Single-agent process sandbox

Free

Runs one command with unprivileged process and filesystem restrictions.

Command pipelock sandbox
Deployment qualifier

Kernel isolation requires Linux user namespaces. Without them, best-effort network isolation only sets HTTP(S)_PROXY; seccomp adds restrictions only on linux/amd64.
