HELM is a tool designed to block unsafe actions by AI agents before they are executed. It operates locally, providing a mechanism for approvals, denials, and escalations of AI-agent requests. The system records receipts for actions, allowing for offline verification of local evidence. Users can run a local approval loop to protect coding agents, and the tool can be added to specific coding agents such as Codex or Claude Code.
