How We Know Pre-Action Gates Work
Authors: Igor Ganapolsky Status: Preprint PDF + LaTeX sources (arXiv submission package prepared; arXiv ID pending announcement)
Abstract
AI coding agents repeatedly commit the same high-cost failures. Pre-action enforcement intercepts tool calls before execution and decides allow, warn, or deny. This paper presents a practical evaluation framework for infrastructure firewalls on coding agents, instantiated by ThumbGate, with seven proof dimensions and re-runnable evidence paths.
