Legacy CASB and network DLP solutions were built for web browsing and email—not developer coding agents executing terminal commands and inspecting repository files. ReclaimLLM runs directly at the tool execution boundary, masking secrets before egress and providing tamper-evident session audits across your entire engineering team.

The Architectural Divide
Autonomous coding tools do not look like standard web traffic. They execute recursive terminal commands, invoke MCP servers, and process streaming token chunks.
Forward proxies inspecting outbound HTTP cannot distinguish between agent tool calls and ordinary browsing. They drop connections, introduce latency spikes, and break Server-Sent Events (SSE).
Heavy OS-level DLP daemons monitor every file access indiscriminately, slowing down compilation, git checkouts, and build pipelines without understanding agent context windows.
ReclaimLLM hooks integrate natively into the client lifecycle. It only scans tool inputs and environment files before execution, masking secrets instantly with zero build overhead.
Cross-Assistant Coverage
Protects Composer and terminal tool calls. Fixes the blind spots of .cursorignore before files reach Claude or OpenAI models.
CLAUDE CODE CLINative terminal hook. Redacts .env variables, masks bash stdout credentials, and compacts verbose test outputs.
GITHUB COPILOTNative VS Code agent hooks for Copilot Chat in Agent mode. Inline completions governed via Enterprise LLM Gateway and OpenTelemetry traces.
Native hooks for Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, and Antigravity intercept commands and diffs with sub-millisecond overhead.
Local LiteLLM proxy (rclm-proxy) catches direct custom LLM scripts and CLI workflows.
Monitors web interactions on ChatGPT, Claude.ai, and Gemini, flagging unvetted pastes and proprietary code.
| Criteria | ReclaimLLM Hook DLP | Network CASB Proxy | Heavy EDR / Endpoint Agent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where inspection occurs | Tool execution boundary (Local) | Network egress gateway | OS Kernel / File system filter |
| Understands coding tool loops | Yes (Cursor, Claude, Codex, Gemini) | No (Generic HTTPS only) | No (Generic file reads only) |
| Preserves agent debugging logic | Yes (Typed redaction placeholders) | No (Drops or resets HTTP connection) | No (Blocks file open operation) |
| Latency impact on developer | < 1ms (Compiled regex) | 50ms–200ms roundtrip hop | Noticeable CPU/disk overhead |
| Tamper-evident session replay | Yes (Paired diffs & tool output) | No (Truncated HTTP packets) | No (Process events only) |
Traditional CASBs and network DLPs inspect encrypted packets at the perimeter or intercept email gateways. They lack understanding of autonomous coding agent loops, tool call payloads, and local terminal bash commands. They frequently break streaming token responses or block legitimate code edits. ReclaimLLM hooks directly into developer tools at the tool execution boundary on the workstation, redacting secrets before network transit while preserving variable syntax so agents can complete tasks.
ReclaimLLM natively supports Copilot Chat in Agent mode (VS Code), Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, and Antigravity out of the box via rclm-hooks-install. It also captures browser sessions from ChatGPT, Claude.ai, and Gemini, and intercepts direct LLM API traffic via local LiteLLM proxy and OpenTelemetry.
File reads and tool outputs matching .env files or known credential patterns are masked immediately before transit. Prompts containing unredacted PII (emails, customer IDs, JWTs) are flagged as sensitive sessions during ingestion, quarantined from public feeds, encrypted with customer-held AES-256 keys, and surfaced for security audit.
Yes. Hook DLP executes 100% locally on the developer machine. For centralized audit storage and gateway routing, enterprise customers can host the ReclaimLLM server entirely within their private AWS, GCP, or Azure VPC using Docker or Kubernetes Helm charts.
Eliminate credential exposure without hindering developer velocity.
