Show HN: Check if your AI Agent looks good for clients

aaitor — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 13:03:24 +0000

Just sign in with a free account, go to the Agents Scoring section, and paste the public URL of your x402/mpp agent.

It will tell you what can be discovered by clients, what you can improve, etc.

Show HN: Netlumi – Cloud and AI agent security with auto-remediation(Live demo)

2511 — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 12:56:57 +0000

Hi HN, I'm Prem. I worked in cloud security for years and decided to build Netlumi. The mission is to take the burden of cloud, infrastructure and AI security off teams. We auto remediate.

We find threats and attack paths in your cloud and open a pull request with the fix in your IaC code. All you need to do is review and merge. Each PR says what was checked, and we validate our fixes before we send them. Nothing is ever applied for you.

We also look at the AI agents in your cloud: what each agent's identities can reach, and which of that data couldn't be restored if it were deleted. You can put a gate in front of their tool calls to stop risky ones.

GitHub only for now, and SOC 2 and ISO 27001 are in progress.

We also have compliance mapping, a cloud map, drift detection, attack paths etc. And more coming over the next week.

There's a free plan, and paid plans start at $249 a month. You can scan a public repo without signing up, or try the live demo.

Please give it a try!
