How It Works
Altrace sits between your AI agents and the models they call. Here is what happens when a request passes through.
The Invisible Layer
Your agents run at full speed. Altrace adds milliseconds — the model takes seconds. You never notice.
The $82,000 API Key
In February 2026, a stolen API key ran up $82,314 in Gemini charges in 48 hours. Fortune 500 companies collectively leaked $400M in unbudgeted AI agent cloud spend that quarter.
Blocked before the request reaches the LLM. Your bill stays exactly where you set it.
The OpenClaw Incident
In 2026, an AI agent deleted 200+ emails from a Meta alignment researcher's inbox. She typed "STOP" repeatedly. The agent kept going. There was no kill switch.
POST /kill/team/financeOne API call. Every agent on the team stops instantly. Survives restarts. No gaps.
The Shadow AI Problem
77% of employees paste company data into LLMs. In January 2026, a misconfigured AI chat app exposed 300 million messages — including PII, credentials, and confidential business data — from 25 million users.
SSN, email, card number in the prompt. Altrace caught all three before the request left your network. The model never saw it.
The Kiro Incident
In December 2025, Amazon's Kiro AI agent autonomously deleted and recreated a production AWS environment — without approval — causing a 13-hour outage. The two-person approval process hadn't been extended to AI.

The 300 Million Messages
In 2025, researchers found seven vulnerabilities in GPT-4o and GPT-5 that allowed data exfiltration during streaming responses. In January 2026, 300 million streaming chat messages were exposed from a popular AI app.
Altrace watches every word as it streams back. The moment sensitive data appears, the stream is killed. Not after — during.
The MCP Injection Crisis
In 2025, attackers embedded hidden SQL in support tickets that tricked an AI agent into exfiltrating private tokens. The official GitHub MCP server was hijacked via poisoned public issues. 30+ MCP CVEs followed.
"Ignore all previous instructions..."Jailbreaks, prompt injections, hidden instructions — caught and blocked before they reach the model. The attacker gets nothing.
