Today, we are launching OpenRouter Armor in beta. Tool calls allow agents to interact with the world, and regex-based filtering often isn't enough to detect unwanted tool calls. Armor uses @typesafeai's Jev model to guard against out of policy tool calls before your agent
How it compares
A launch means nothing against no one. These are the launches it is actually comparable to, and where this one sits among them.

What this launch shows
OpenRouter posted this from an account with 155K followers and reached about 95% of them. The median for over 100K followers is 2.4 times, so this one stayed closer to home than most.
It ranks 552 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it is below the median of 688K views, at rank 1494 of 1981.
Saves led. 648 people bookmarked it, 44.1 per 10,000 views against a directory median of 11.7.
A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does. The rest: 81 replies, 38 quotes, 65 reposts.
The first line is “Today, we are launching OpenRouter Armor in beta”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 29-second video against a directory median of 65 seconds. Videos under 30 seconds have a median of 850K views in the directory.
The copy runs 45 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. There is a link in the body, which costs a post some reach and buys it a place to send people.
It went out on a Thursday. Launches posted on a Thursday have a median of 724K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
The waitlist launch guide covers this: the call to action was a queue, and the four days after decide what the queue is worth. For the next one, read attributing signups to a launch: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product.
Giving people something to reply to is the guide for it: the conversation is what carried this one. Every launch we track in Developer Tool is on that vertical's directory page.
