Agent permissions
I use explicit permission rules, approval steps, audit records, and stop controls to review agent actions.
About Alex Cinovoj
I build tools for testing AI agents.
I’m Alex Cinovoj, Founder & CTO of TechTide AI. My background includes 13 years in US enterprise IT. I work on agent testing, permissions, approval workflows, audit records, budgets, and debugging. Here I describe the projects and what you can inspect in their code.
My background and the projects I share
I co-host Automation Vibes and have completed 9 Anthropic Academy courses. I’m a Lovable Champion, an earned Discord community support volunteer role, and have used the Lovable beta for over one year. My open-source projects include ClawKeeper for agent permissions, CipherClaw for trace analysis, and TechTideAI2 for separating decisions, data, and audit records.
I work with Claude, Gemini, and Codex, and agent frameworks including OpenClaw, Hermes, Goose, and DeepAgents. My projects explore restricted network access, database-enforced audit records, and evaluation tests in continuous integration. Support and test coverage vary by project.
I’m based in Columbus, Ohio. I share code and resources here, my background, selected products, and speaking on alexcinovoj.com, and services at techtideai.io.

Agent access, approvals, and testing
Skill declarations and evaluation tests
I declare tool and network access, then use adversarial fixtures and automated checks to test those declarations.
Run limits and recovery
I use spending limits, circuit breakers, and shared trace IDs to stop or investigate failed runs. Each project documents what those checks cover.
Flagship projects
Engineering examples and project notes
ClawKeeper
ClawKeeper checks agent actions against policy rules, defaults autonomous spend to zero, and records an append-only audit log. Its finance workflows are reference examples.
TechTide Harness Kit
TechTide Harness Kit validates skill declarations with JSON Schema and tests network access and prompt-injection fixtures.
CipherClaw
CipherClaw analyzes recorded agent activity deterministically, with no model calls in analysis and no runtime dependencies.
Swarm 357
Swarm 357 contains 357 role definitions, spending limits, and a pattern-matched Bash permission check. The role count does not describe measured concurrency.
AgentRewind
AgentRewind is my private trace replay and comparison build. There is no public repository or test output to inspect.
FintheFinder
FintheFinder pauses research runs for human approval and checks citations deterministically. Source quality still needs human review.
Molten
Molten is my private runtime with stop controls, circuit breakers, and a four-tier sandbox. Its implementation is not publicly verifiable.
TechTideAI2
TechTideAI2 separates decisions, application data, and audit output. Its repository includes adversarial evaluation tests.
Discuss your workflow with TechTide AI.
TechTide AI reviews AI workflows and Airtable systems, then builds the agreed fixes. I keep code and resources here; current service scope, prices, and terms are on techtideai.io. An Airtable review can recommend staying, repairing, connecting tools, or migrating.
