agt-security SKILL.md skillA

agt-security from richfrem/agent-plugins-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add richfrem/agent-plugins-skills/agt-security@git:20261024.3106a82

Pins git:20261024.3106a82 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Provides sandboxing validation, HMAC key rotation, and boundary verification to manage security boundaries under Microsoft Agent Governance Toolkit (AGT).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Agent Governance Toolkit Security (`agt-security`)

Manages local execution sandboxes, verifies process hygiene limits, and rotates cryptographic HMAC bus keys under Microsoft's Agent Governance Toolkit (AGT) security standards.

## Contents
- [Critical Constraints](#critical-constraints)
- [Quick start](#quick-start)
- [Workflow](#workflow)
- [Verification](#verification)
- [References](#references)

## Critical Constraints
- **Environment Hygiene**: Ensure banned execution variables (`PYTHONPATH`, `PYTHONHOME`, `LD_PRELOAD`, `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH`) are scrubbed before subprocess launch.
- **Path Containment**: Ensure filesystem operations outside declared root boundaries raise explicit `PermissionError` exceptions.
- **Key Permission Enforcement**: HMAC session keys must be created exclusively with `0600` permissions inside protected secret storage (`context/exploration/.secrets/`).
- **Zero Key Leakage**: Never print, log, or leak raw HMAC key bytes to stdout, telemetry, or conversational outputs.

## Quick start

```bash
# Verify sandbox hygiene and path containment
python3 scripts/agt_ops.py verify-sandbox

# Rotate local HMAC session signing key

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add richfrem/agent-plugins-skills/agt-security@sha256:e142202d8b47a8e9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.3106a82, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
