synthesis-agent-guardrails skillA

synthesis-agent-guardrails is agent-read markdown (skill) from synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills: Fail-closed session and tool guards for agent harnesses: cross-account artifact routing and publication authority today; output detectors landing next. Every guard ships inert until its principal configures it..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Synthesis Agent Guardrails

## The Problem

Agent harnesses act through the principal's accounts: calendar invites go out
as someone, drafts send from somewhere. A routing rule written in the
workspace instructions is necessary and demonstrably insufficient — rules
sitting on disk go unread at the moment of acting, and an invitation cannot
be unsent. The controls that prevent cross-account mistakes have to sit
*before* the tool call, not after it.

## The Guards

### Account routing gate (`guards/account_routing_guard.py`)

A fail-closed PreToolUse gate on cross-account artifact creation. When the
session's working directory is inside a configured workspace, a tool call
that creates or mutates an outward-facing artifact through a connector NOT
bound to that workspace's account is blocked (exit 2 with an explanation);
everything else passes (exit 0).

Gated surface, matched on the tool name's terminal segment exactly:

- Google-mutating terminals unconditionally (`create_event`, `send_email`,
  `reply`, sharing verbs, and the rest — see `MUTATING_TOOLS`).
- Shared terminals (`send_message`) only when the payload proves the call
…

How to install

Latest version
mdr add synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills/synthesis-agent-guardrails@v1.0.0
Exact content
mdr add synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills/synthesis-agent-guardrails@sha256:eb6b732a76a30f7e

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
