Listed product details for Stroq and WailBrew
Detail	Stroq	WailBrew
Overview	Stroq is an open‑source Agent Guard that runs on Node 22+ and inspects where a command originated before allowing it to execute. It normalizes tool output, tracks provenance of packages or URLs, and blocks outbound calls that contain indexed secrets, reporting the variable and file name. By hooking into Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor and similar agents, Stroq applies deterministic, model‑free policies and logs every decision, helping developers prevent secret leaks and unintended actions without sending data to external services.	It simplifies the process of managing packages on macOS, making it easier for users to work with command-line tools without needing to learn complex commands.
Listed features	Normalization: strips zero‑width characters, folds homoglyphs, and decodes base64, hex and URLs two levels deep. Provenance: records the earlier tool output that introduced a package, URL or command fragment and reports it when later used. Secret Egress Guard: indexes secrets as salted hashes and denies any outbound call that includes a known secret, naming the variable and source file.
