Show HN: Asimov's three laws, a working implementation (don't use in production)

hey folks, I'm founder of Maybe Don't AI where we're building guardrails for AI agents. Because often when AI agents are acting your behalf you'll need to stop them and say, "maybe don't do that".

As an amusing thought experiment I implemented Asimov's three laws in our non-deterministic policy engine—right now it sits as an MCP gateway. Yes can you use this YAML to actually run your gateway. Probably they aren't the most practical guardrails right now

Why? Because right now AI isn't really out to kill us or disobey us. The bigger problems we have (and what we're actually solving) is more like, "I want a flight from Denver to Detroit" but then the AI decides the best flight is by way of Dubai—this is what Maybe Don't actually prevents.... but the YAML will work.

Go kick the tires for sh*ts and giggles.
