The listing showed 392 points. The product, Agentic Integrity Foundation, or AIF, is a security layer that reviews coding agents’ tool calls before they run. Its local model uses the developer’s request and session context while keeping repository contents and tool output on the user’s machine, according to [the Product Hunt listing](https://www.producthunt.com/products/agent-integrity-foundation-aif). Harden says AIF can allow or block an action, request approval, make the action safe or record it. Its models run on the user’s device and are intended to stop dangerous actions before execution. The company lists support for Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity CLI, Cursor, Kiro, Hermes and OpenClaw. Harden says one local setup detects supported agents and checks their tool calls through native hooks, with an MCP proxy available for other tools. Decision history also remains on the device. AIF is free for individual developers, requires no account and is priced at $0 forever, according to Harden. The company also offers a custom enterprise plan. Product Hunt categorized the product under developer tools, artificial intelligence and security, and said it launched this week in 2026. Harden’s public GitHub repository describes AIF as a local coding-agent safety system and provides the same installation command as the company’s website. Harden describes itself as an AI safety products company building guardrails for coding agents. Its LinkedIn page says the company was founded in 2025 and is headquartered in Palo Alto, California. As reviewed Sept. 10, 2026, the page categorized Harden as having two to 10 employees and displayed seven associated employee profiles. Pujari announced the Product Hunt ranking in his Sept. 9 post on X and linked to the AIF listing. --- ## Companies in this story - Harden: https://www.gobignews.com/company/hardenrun --- ## X profiles in this story - @pushpakpujari: https://www.gobignews.com/profile/pushpakpujari - @producthunt: https://www.gobignews.com/profile/producthunt
