I can't believe there isn't a universal "api/firewall" by now. You know like a middle program that can convert any input api to any output api. With middleware features like logging/firewall/stateful denial and control.

Once cryptocurrency was a thing this absolutely needed to exist to protect your accounts from being depleted by a hack. (like via monthly limits firewall)

Now we need universal MCP <-> API to allow both programmatic and LLM to the same thing. (because apparently these AGI precursors arent smart enough to be trained on generic API calling and need yet another standard: MCP?)
