The safety layer for AI-accelerated coding
Coding agents make devs ship more risky code faster.
Don't leave a single line of AI code unchecked.
One AI Policy for All Your Projects
A dedicated ruleset designed to prevent risks and vulnerabilities that are inherent to AI code from entering production.
Unapproved model calls
Prevent shipping code that contains API calls to unapproved large language models
Secure MCP Servers & Libraries
Prevent Data Leakage Risk
Instant Policy Enforcement
AI Safety
Catch AI-specific risks like invisible unicode injections before they hit production
Catch invisible unicode before it can be executed
Avoid security flaws replicated from training data
Prevent SQL injection caused by unsanitized user input
Hardcoded Secrets
Detect hardcoded secrets and API tokens before they reach Git and production
Real-time Guardrails for AI coding agents
Pre-commit secret detection
Prevent leaking credentials
Vulnerabilities
Catch insecure dependencies introduced by AI coding agents
Enforce secure, up-to-date library versions
Daily CVE database updates
Supply chain analysis across the codebase
"Codacy makes sure that we do security testing on code automatically so the developer doesn't have to care about it."
A unified checklist to manage your AI risk score
Code scanning is only part of the equation. Enforce all essential merge controls to truly protect your codebase from risky AI code contributions.

Codacy Guardrails
The first comprehensive solution that secures your development process against both traditional and AI-generated security vulnerabilities.
Keep your favorite AI coding agent.
Shift left completed. Once and for all
Guardrails is not yet another AI model for code reviews. Instead, it pairs trusted static analysis methods with the power of your existing AI coding assistant, delivering unmatched speed and convenience – without leaving a trail of destruction.
Install Codacy IDE extension
Guardrails runs inside VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf, seamlessly embedded in your existing AI coding workflow.

One source of truth. Limitless possibilities
Guardrails is more than scanning AI code in real time. Using MCP technology, we created a brand new way of interacting with all scan results in the Codacy cloud platform, and letting your AI assistant fix them in bulk – without ever leaving the chat panel.
Loved by engineers
Codacy has changed the way engineering teams ship secure, high-quality applications without sacrificing speed.
