Summary
Replaces scattered error-handling and safety logic across your codebase with composable, reusable middleware that works across TypeScript, Go, and Dart. Eliminates the need to encode policy rules in every prompt.
Why it matters
Replaces scattered error-handling and safety logic across your codebase with composable, reusable middleware that works across TypeScript, Go, and Dart. Eliminates the need to encode policy rules in every prompt.
Implementation verdict
Ready now in TypeScript, Go, Dart; Python coming soon. Five pre-built modules (Retry, Fallback, ToolApproval, Skills, Filesystem) handle 80% of production needs. Custom middleware requires minimal boilerplate (~20 lines). Worth adopting immediately if you're building agentic apps and need deterministic guardrails.
