🧵 Loom
English · 中文
The black box, firewall & debugger for AI agents.
Your agent ran — touched files, called tools, spent tokens — and you have no idea what it did or why. Loom records every action, replays it byte-for-byte for $0, firewalls dangerous calls before they run, and lets you step through the whole run like a debugger. Works with any Claude/OpenAI-API agent — Claude Code, LangGraph, CrewAI, your own.
pip install loom-harness # zero dependencies
loom record claude "fix the failing test" --safe
recorded 17 steps · 42k tokens → session.loom.json
🛡 firewall blocked 1 risky call: Read(".env")
🔬 loom debug session.loom.json # step through it, fork any turn live
Step through any agent run — the reasoning, the tools, the exact context the model saw, and fork any turn live.
Why Loom
- 🎥 Record any agent — proxy Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / your own, one command, zero code changes.
- ⏪ Replay for $0 — every call recorded at one boundary → byte-identical, offline. Deterministic CI for a stochastic agent.
- 🔬 Step-debug it — walk each step, see the exact context the model saw, then edit a turn and re-run it live.
- 🕸 Any multi-agent framework — LangGraph · CrewAI · AutoGen · OpenAI-Agents · Claude-SDK, recovered into one agent tree from the wire, zero code changes.
- 🛡 Firewall it — deny / confirm dangerous calls before they run, by capability (
cap:money_movement) or sequence (after Read(.env): deny network). - 🕵 Catch exfiltration — a secret flowing to an egress, even base64-encoded or paraphrased, confirmed by an LLM judge.
- ↩ Undo the world — revert the files an agent changed, or snapshot & restore a whole workspace + database.
The debugger
loom debug run.loom.json (or loom live to watch it run) opens a step-debugger in your browser:
- Step through every action — the model's reasoning, the tool call + args, the world-diff (file / SQL row / DOM), risk, tokens.
- Context frame — the exact conversation the model saw at each step: the debugger's stack & variables.
- Fork & re-run live — inject a message or switch the model at any turn; only the divergent tail costs a call, and the branch appears beside the original.
- Multi-agent tree — a supervisor/sub-agent system (yours or a third-party framework) recovered from the wire and shown as a collapsible tree, laned by agent.
- Ask & assert — send the live agent a new message, or check plain-English expectations (
never issue_refund,output contains …) as a CI gate.
loom studio <trace> freezes the whole UI into one shareable HTML file (no server, no agent).
Debug a live agent
loom live --agent app:agent # watch it run, send follow-ups, fork any turn
Behind a gRPC / HTTP endpoint? Point your server at the recording proxy and drive it from the same debugger — no code, just your grpcurl:
loom live --proxy-port 9000 \
--trigger 'grpcurl -d "{\"prompt\": $LOOM_PROMPT_JSON}" -plaintext :50051 agent.Agent/Run'
# then start your server with ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:9000
Loom reconstructs the agent's full internal hierarchy even though it's behind an endpoint.
Use it as a Python harness
from loom import Agent, tool, Policy
@tool
def search(q: str) -> str:
"Search the docs."
return db.search(q)
agent = Agent(model="claude-opus-4-8", tools=[search],
policy=Policy(deny=["issue_refund*"], budget_tokens=50_000)) # in-loop firewall
run = agent.run("What changed in the API last week?")
run.replay() # byte-identical, no API calls
run.fork(at=3) # rewind to turn 3, continue live on a new branch
One effect boundary records every model + tool call — so replay, fork, free CI, human-in-the-loop, the firewall, and every analyzer fall out of the same primitive. The kernel is zero-dependency.

Loom shrinks an agent's blast radius and makes its behavior inspectable — it is not a guarantee a model can't misbehave. See the threat model.
