Petit, my command line log analysis tool from 2009, is back. It shrank logs for sysadmins, and now it shrinks them for AI agents too.

Prompt injection defense with Trentina MCP gateway - blocked packet quarantine

If you’ve been following Trentina, you know I’ve been beating the drum on prompt injection defense for a while now. I built a three-layer quarantine system, wrote about prompt injection in terms of epidemiology, and generally been that guy at the party who won’t shut up about how your AI agent is going to get

A prompt injection doesn’t have to act to be dangerous. It can hide, copy itself, and spread agent to agent. Why AI security is an epidemiology problem, and how to respond.

MCP-Airlock is becoming Trentina — named after the 1377 quarantine system from Ragusa that inspired its architecture. Same three-layer defense, same gateway, better name.

Update (June 2026): MCP-Airlock has been renamed to Trentina. The project has grown from a web content sanitizer into a full MCP gateway with per-consumer profiles, tool allowlists, and parameter-level access controls. The new name reflects that expanded scope — and avoids a naming collision with another MCP gateway project. The architecture described in this
