Key Features of ZapGuard

ZapGuard is designed to protect AI agents as they operate on chain. Each feature works together to prevent manipulation, guide behaviour and maintain a safe environment for autonomous decision making. These capabilities help developers deploy agents with confidence while keeping users and assets secure.

Real time behavioural monitoring

ZapGuard watches how an agent behaves from moment to moment. If the agent suddenly acts in a way that differs from its usual pattern, ZapGuard steps in and blocks the action. This prevents attackers from influencing the agent through unexpected prompts or misleading conditions.

Prompt safety filtering

Every prompt or instruction sent to the agent is reviewed before the agent reacts to it. ZapGuard checks for harmful or manipulative language that may push the agent toward unsafe decisions. By stopping these prompts early, it helps maintain the integrity of the agent’s original purpose.

Contract interaction validation

ZapGuard confirms that the agent is interacting only with trusted and verified contracts. If the agent attempts to call functions on unknown or high risk contracts, the request is blocked. This reduces the chances of falling into traps created by malicious contracts or unsafe integrations.

Protection against behavioural exploits

Attackers sometimes attempt to exploit gaps in an agent’s logic. ZapGuard studies the agent’s decision patterns and identifies situations where the agent could be tricked into harmful actions. It blocks these attempts before they can cause damage, keeping the agent aligned with safe operational rules.

Adaptive threat intelligence

The threat landscape changes constantly. ZapGuard adapts by learning from new attack patterns and unusual behaviours observed across the ecosystem. This allows it to stay ahead of emerging risks and provide stronger protection over time.

Clear and actionable alerts

When ZapGuard stops a risky action, it provides a clear explanation of why the behaviour was blocked. Developers and operators gain insight into the agent’s decisions and can quickly understand where the risk came from. This transparency helps refine agent logic and maintain better safety across future updates.

With these features, ZapGuard becomes a strong and reliable guardian for autonomous systems. It ensures that agents stay safe, predictable and aligned with their intended purpose as they navigate the complexity of the on chain environment.
