ELIDA¶

Edge Layer for Intelligent Defense of Agents

Session-aware reverse proxy for AI agent governance. Think Session Border Controller (SBC) from telecom — but instead of managing VoIP calls, ELIDA sits between your AI agents and model APIs, giving you visibility and control over every session.

Kill runaway agents mid-session — one API call terminates a session instantly
40+ OWASP LLM Top 10 rules — prompt injection, PII leaks, tool abuse, all caught in-line
Session-aware failover — route across providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, Mistral) with sticky sessions
Complete audit trail — every session logged with request/response capture and PII redaction
Real-time dashboard — watch every request, token burn, and policy violation as it happens

30-Second Quickstart¶

docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 9090:9090 \
  -e ELIDA_BACKEND=https://api.groq.com/openai/v1 \
  ghcr.io/zamorofthat/elida:latest

Point your client at it:

# Claude Code
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080 claude

# Any OpenAI-compatible tool
OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080 your-tool

Open the dashboard at http://localhost:9090.

Every request flows through session tracking and policy evaluation before reaching backends. Sessions are first-class — you can inspect, pause, or kill any agent session via the control API or dashboard.
