pic-standard vs ADR
pic-standard: PIC Standard is a lightweight, local-first protocol that forces AI agents to prove every important action before it happens, verifying intent, impact, provenance, and evidence. It acts as an action-bound verification contract that fails closed if any aspect of a high-impact tool call is found to be wrong or unjustified.; ADR: ADR (Agentic Detection and Response) is an open-source framework designed to secure AI agents utilizing the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It comprises an ADR Sensor for telemetry collection and an ADR Detector, which serves as a dual-agent benchmark and detection system.
TL;DR
Guarding high-impact actions within AI agent frameworks
- You research detection for MCP-based agents and want to reproduce the MLSys 2026 ADR paper.
- You want a benchmark: ADR-Bench has 133 MCP servers and 303 tasks with baselines.
- You want to collect telemetry from Claude Code, Cursor and Codex into one schema with the sensor.
- You want a packaged product to deploy: this is research code for a paper.
- You want the ADR Explorer red-teaming engine: the README says it is not included.
- You cannot pay for Anthropic and OpenAI API calls: the default detector needs both.
