Problem
AI coding agents operate without centralized oversight, leading to uncontrolled API calls, policy violations, and difficulty tracing which agent made which change. This creates security, compliance, and reliability risks for engineering teams that cannot easily audit or govern agent behavior at scale.
Solution
ChooChoo provides an in‑path control plane that intercepts every request from AI coding agents before it reaches the model provider. The gateway enforces budget limits, model access controls, and policy guardrails in real time, preventing unsafe actions. All agent sessions are recorded locally and in a cloud dashboard, producing searchable, tamper‑evident traces linked to code changes. Continuous evaluation scores agents against the team’s codebase, and detected drift automatically generates context files and pull‑requests to update configurations. Integrated with GitHub, Linear and other tools, the platform gives engineering, security, privacy, and legal teams a unified view and governance layer for any number of agents.
Target Audience
ChooChoo is aimed at engineering, security, privacy, and legal teams that deploy AI coding agents in production and need centralized governance, auditability, and performance monitoring.
Features
- Runtime gateway that routes all agent traffic through a single point for real‑time policy, budget, and model access enforcement
- Full‑session capture with local CLI and team dashboards, providing searchable, append‑only trace logs for every AI‑assisted change
- Agent readiness scoring and trajectory analysis based on actual codebase tasks, delivering weekly usage and quality reports
- Automated context file generation and drift detection that opens pull‑requests to keep agent configurations up‑to‑date
- Deep integrations with GitHub (PR reviews, config monitoring) and Linear (ticket linking) to embed governance into existing workflows
- Support for 12+ coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, OpenCode, Copilot, etc.) with a unified policy layer
- Free community tier offering CLI, desktop app, unlimited local sessions, and full trace export; paid tiers add hosted runtime, SSO, audit‑grade retention, and on‑prem deployment
