Beam vs LEGIT SECURITY
Beam vs VibeGuard 2.0
Legit VibeGuard 2.0 folds agent monitoring, skill discovery, MCP checks and blocking into Legit Security's application security platform, aimed at Fortune 500 rollouts. Beam is a standalone local-first monitor with workspace policy enforcement, Sentinel browser pause/block, and pre-run scanning — not a module inside a broader AppSec suite.
Beam vs VibeGuard 2.0, side by side
Details below are drawn from a September 2026 review of the AI agent security market. Some figures are vendor-sourced or analyst estimates, and this is a fast-moving space — check with each vendor before you buy. Composio details come from its own pricing and documentation pages as of October 2026.
| Beam | VibeGuard 2.0 (Legit Security) | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Local-first activity monitor, policy enforcement, and pre-run scanner for AI coding agents, with a Sentinel browser extension for AI chats. | Enterprise agent and vibe-coding security, part of a wider AppSec platform. |
| Monitoring | Shell commands, file changes, tool calls, network endpoints and browser actions from harnesses such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, plus Beam Sentinel checks on supported AI chat sites before send. Normalised into local NDJSON with risk flags and evidence attached. | Agent commands and tool calls, with skill discovery and MCP security checks in the same product. |
| Skill / MCP scanning | Yes. SKILL.md files and MCP configurations are scanned before you run them, using 11 heuristic patterns plus an MCP version-pin check. Workspace admins can also block an MCP server for the org or one user. | Yes. Skill discovery and MCP security checks are core parts of the product. |
| Blocking / enforcement | Yes. Workspace owners and admins set observe, advisory, or enforce policy. Enforce denies matching tool calls on Claude Code and Codex PreToolUse hooks. The Sentinel Chrome extension pauses or blocks high-risk browser sends and can hold a send after redacting live secrets. | Yes. Blocks dangerous operations. |
| Individual use | Free for up to 3 people, and Pro for one person at $8/month. Team workspaces add owner/admin roles, org baselines, stricter member overrides and a control plane. | None listed. Aimed at Fortune 500 rollouts. |
| Deployment | Local collector plus a workspace dashboard. Apple and Windows MDM. Sentinel Chrome extension for browser AI chats. Licensed self-hosted control plane for teams that need it on their own infrastructure. | Enterprise deployment as part of Legit Security's application security platform. |
| Source / licence | AGPL-3.0 for the local CLI and collector; the multi-user control plane is proprietary. | Commercial, not open source. |
| Pricing | Free for up to 3 people. Pro $8/month for one person. Team $20 per developer and $5 per browser seat a month, billed yearly. | Enterprise, no public price. |

Where VibeGuard 2.0 does more
- Blocking is available now, not on a roadmap.
- Skill discovery and MCP security are first-class parts of the product, already at v2 as of August 3, 2026.
- Backed by an established application security vendor with existing enterprise relationships.
Where Beam differs
- Beam is a single-purpose agent monitor rather than a module inside a broader AppSec platform, so there is nothing else to adopt.
- Beam's scan runs locally on a file you point it at, before you run it.
- Beam keeps its data on the machine that produced it, with credentials redacted before writing.
Beam’s current gaps
- Enforce is hook-based: a native deny is wired for Claude Code and Codex PreToolUse. Cursor, Copilot CLI and Gemini currently get a deny note, not a verified block.
- Missing, unreadable or expired cached policy allows the action. Beam is not a fail-closed kernel sandbox or an in-silicon watchdog.
- Scanning is heuristic pattern matching. It produces false positives, misses novel phrasing, and is not a guarantee of safety.
- There is no SOC 2 report and no default SIEM forwarder. Kernel isolation like OpenShell remains a different layer.
Which one fits
If you are already a Legit Security customer or want agent security inside your AppSec platform, VibeGuard is the natural fit and ships enforcement today. Beam fits a smaller question: what is the agent on this machine doing, and is this skill safe to run.
