What I learned reading and building with Kuru, an open-source agent platform

Описание и применение

Kuru добавляет карточки одобрения для рискованных действий и безопасный поток рабочего стола через телефон, улучшая безопасность и удобство для однопользовательских развертываний.

Задача

Need a self-hosted agent platform that allows safe, human-approvable actions and live desktop control via phone.

Результат

Kuru adds human-in-the-loop approval for destructive actions and secure, non-exposed desktop access, improving safety and usability for single-owner deployments.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Agent requests a risky tool call.
• 2. auto-review.ts classifies risk and hashes the call.
• 3. If risky, a pending approval row is created and a card is sent to the chat.
• 4. Human approves or denies via the card; approval is single-use.
• 5. Approved call is retried with approval ID and executed.
• 6. For desktop control, phone connects through core server via Cloudflare Tunnel.
• 7. screen-proxy.ts verifies ownership, starts desktop session, and proxies VNC over the tunnel.

Доказательства

When an agent wants to do something risky — rm -rf outside its own folders, dd if=, git push --force, curl | sh, dropping a database, deleting a YouTube video — the call doesn't run. Instead a card appears in the chat: "Needs approval", with the exact tool call and its arguments, and buttons to approve, deny, or "Always allow".

Источник

Approvals are single-use. An approved row carries a usedAt timestamp; the second identical call hits "That approval was already used. Ask the person again."

Источник

Workers pause instead of dying. There's a comment in the file explaining that a blocked background worker used to get stopped and restarted blank once the person tapped Approve — losing everything it had done.

Источник

Every agent gets a Linux container with a real desktop (not a headless shell — X, a browser, a visible window manager). The phone app has a "watch this screen" view that streams the desktop over VNC and lets you take over the mouse and keyboard if the agent is stuck in a dialog loop.
