 **AI coding agents repeat mistakes — and one wrong tool call can wipe a directory, leak a key, or push broken code.**
 
 ThumbGate is the local-first firewall for AI coding agents. It runs in the PreToolUse hook on your machine and blocks dangerous tool calls — `rm -rf`, secret exfiltration, off-scope edits, a bad `git push` — before they execute, across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Amp, Cline, and OpenCode. No server, no gateway. (Regulated-industry policy templates — legal intake, financial compliance, healthcare — build on the same engine.)
