Set up Squidbrake, which checks every command and tool call an AI agent makes against rules (risky ones wait for a person, rm -rf ~/ never runs), and respond correctly when Squidbrake blocks or holds an action. Use when the user wants guardrails, approvals or an audit trail for their coding agents, or when a tool call comes back blocked or waiting for approval from Squidbrake.
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
# Squidbrake Squidbrake is a gateway between AI agents and the machine. Every command, file edit, read and MCP tool call is checked against `rules.yaml` before it runs: safe ones run, dangerous ones are blocked, and risky ones wait until a person approves them in the dashboard, on their phone or in Slack. Everything is recorded in a tamper-evident audit trail. Source: https://github.com/batrapulkit/squidbrake ## Setting it up for the user Ask before running these: `connect all` changes the user's agent configs (each one is backed up first). 1. Install: `pipx install squidbrake` (or `pip install squidbrake`). 2. Connect every agent on this computer: `squidbrake connect all`. It finds Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, VS Code Copilot and Antigravity, plus the MCP servers they use. The first time, it prints the dashboard's admin key. Tell the user to save it, and don't repeat the key back in chat. 3. Start the gateway: `squidbrake` (opens `http://localhost:8080/dashboard`). For it to keep protecting them it must stay running. A 24/7 server option is in the README. 4. Tell the user to restart their agents. Codex also needs the hook approved once with `/hooks`. …

How to install
mdr add batrapulkit/squidbrake/squidbrake@sha256:6d73aea5a9a30077The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.d98824e, 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.
