Hold My Agent — Arbiter
Self-hosted, fail-closed approval server for AI agents. Before your agent does something irreversible, it asks a human — Arbiter holds the request, pushes an alert to your phone (APNs, ntfy, or a webhook), and waits for a real decision. If the server is unreachable or the request times out, the answer defaults to no.
pip install holdmyagent
hma init
hma serve
