About

Agent Tick

Features
Read full description

Agent Tick is a least-permission Request routing layer for coding agents. Use the Agent Tick app when your local coding agent needs a bounded human response while you are away from your desk: - Steering lets you choose from bounded options the agent provided. - Sanctions let you approve or deny one specific risky action before it happens. - Status Updates show what the agent is doing and it's full reply at the end of a turn. Agent Tick is not a remote shell. The app cannot execute arbitrary commands on your machine, and approved actions still run in your local agent environment. The service is source-available and self-hostable. You can inspect the code and run your own Agent Tick server, or use the hosted service when you want routing, push notifications, updates, and uptime handled for you.
