Buckle Lets AI Agents Work on Remote Machines Without Full SSH Access

Buckle is a remote execution harness that runs on a user's machines and gives AI agents scoped access to an environment such as a container, remote server, or laptop. Agents connect over HTTP or stdio and use only the tools and approval rules the user configures, including file access, a sandboxed shell, web fetch, a browser, and Git. Every action is allowed, requires approval, or is denied before it runs, with deny rules taking precedence. Users can restrict commands by pattern, limit network access to an approved host list, and share folders read-only, while credential files always prompt for approval. The project is part of a broader effort, 5straps, aimed at auditable agent networks for enterprises, and early access is currently open for feedback.
