Codacy, provider of automated code quality and security solutions, launched Codacy Guardrails, a groundbreaking new product designed to bring real-time security, compliance, and quality enforcement to AI-generated code. Guardrails is the first technology to make AI-generated code trustworthy and compliant by checking it before it ever reaches the developer. Codacy Guardrails is the first solution of its kind that integrates directly with AI coding assistants to enforce coding standards and prevent non-compliant code from being generated in the first place. Built on Codacy’s SOC2-compliant platform, Codacy Guardrails empowers teams to define their own secure development policies and apply them across every AI-generated prompt. With Codacy Guardrails, AI-assisted tools gain full access to the security and quality context of a team’s codebase. At the core of the product is the Codacy MCP server, which connects development environments to the organization’s code standards. This gives LLMs the ability to reason about policies, flag or fix issues in real time, and deliver code that’s compliant by default. Guardrails integrates with popular IDEs like Cursor AI and Windsurf as well as VSCode and IntelliJ through Codacy’s plugin, allowing developers to apply guardrails directly within their existing workflows.
