Perplexity launches numbat: local AI‑agent monitor with detection, blocking, and forensics
Perplexity’s new open‑source project numbat lets you watch every AI‑assistant running on a machine—desktop, CLI, IDE or gateway—in real time. It logs activity, applies built‑in CEL rules for detection, and can block actions before they execute, while also reconstructing sessions for forensic analysis. The single‑binary, cross‑platform tool gives teams endpoint‑level control over AI agents without cloud dependencies.
