numbat - AI agent observability

Perplexity artificial intelligence (AI) released numbat, an open source observability tool for artificial intelligence (AI) agents that provides real-time visibility into agent behavior across desktop, command-line, IDE, and gateway environments. The tool monitors agent activity through local hooks and plugins, logs events to disk, and includes detection rules for suspicious behaviors such as reconnaissance, lateral movement, and data exfiltration, with capabilities to enforce policies and package findings for incident response investigation.

Why it matters: Security teams managing AI agent deployments need visibility into autonomous agent activity and control over privilege escalation and lateral movement risks; numbat provides the observability and enforcement mechanisms absent from standard AI development environments.
