Agent security. Not cloud security repackaged for a new headline.
A lot of security platforms are adding an “AI” tab to a product built for something else. Beam was built for one job: watch what AI coding agents actually do, and give the people responsible for them the evidence to act on it.
Why teams choose Beam
Scoped to agents, not infrastructure
Beam watches what an AI coding agent does — commands, files, tool calls, MCP and skill configs. It doesn't try to also be a CSPM, an EDR or a SIEM.
Local-first, evidence-first
The collector binds to loopback only and writes to local files with restrictive permissions. No telemetry leaves the machine by default.
Open-source core
Beam CLI is public and self-hostable. Read the code that watches your agents, or run it yourself.
Honest about what ships
Owners and admins set observe, advisory, or enforce policy. Enforce denies matching Claude Code and Codex tool calls; Sentinel pauses or blocks high-risk browser AI sends. Limits are stated on every solution page — hook coverage, fail-open cached policy, heuristic scanning.
