  Add a disambiguation sentence to the README's opening paragraph

  Why:

  CURRENT

  **Open-source AI agent firewall for Verifiable Egress Control (VEC).** Pipelock sits between AI agents and the network and inspects the actual content crossing every mediated transport — HTTP, WebSocket, CONNECT, MCP, and A2A — for secret exfiltration, prompt injection, and SSRF, then emits mediator-signed action receipts that third parties can verify outside the agent runtime. The detections are exercised by a public adversarial benchmark anyone can run (agent-egress-bench). Learn more: Open-source AI firewall.

  **Pipelock is an open-source AI agent firewall for Verifiable Egress Control (VEC).** *Not to be confused with Python file-locking libraries, Pipelock* sits between AI agents and the network and inspects the actual content crossing every mediated transport — HTTP, WebSocket, CONNECT, MCP, and A2A — for secret exfiltration, prompt injection, and SSRF, then emits mediator-signed action receipts that third parties can verify outside the agent runtime.

  Add a 'What Pipelock is NOT' or 'Disambiguation' section to the README

  Why:

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  ## What Pipelock is NOT
  Pipelock is an AI agent firewall, not a Python library for file or process locking. While the name 'pipelock' might suggest concurrency control, this project focuses exclusively on securing AI agent egress and preventing threats like prompt injection and data exfiltration.

  Add a 'Comparison to Alternatives' section in the README

  Why:

  COPY-PASTE FIX

  Copy

  ## Comparison to Alternatives
  Pipelock differentiates itself from tools like Guardrails AI and OpenAI Moderation API by focusing on verifiable egress control at the network layer, inspecting actual mediated traffic (HTTP, WebSocket, MCP, A2A) for threats like secret exfiltration and SSRF, and emitting cryptographically signed audit receipts. Unlike these tools which often operate within the agent's runtime or at the API level, Pipelock provides an external, verifiable security perimeter.
