setup SKILL.md skillA
setup from alelaguard/agentguards-plugins is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add alelaguard/agentguards-plugins/setup@git:20260811.9c2c95aPins git:20260811.9c2c95a in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Set up and verify AgentGuards in Gemini CLI against a self-hosted appliance. Use when the user asks to configure AgentGuards, set their URL/API key, or check that the guardrails are wired up correctly.
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
# AgentGuards setup — self-hosted
Unlike the hosted extension, this variant has **no default backend** — it
must be told which appliance to use. Guide the user through both required
variables.
## Steps
1. **Check for `AGENTGUARDS_URL`.** This is required here (the hosted
extension defaults it; this one deliberately does not, so it can never
silently talk to the wrong instance). It should be the appliance's own
address, reachable from wherever Gemini CLI runs, over HTTPS.
2. **Check for `AGENTGUARDS_API_KEY`.** If missing, tell the user to generate
one on their appliance's own console at `<AGENTGUARDS_URL>/admin/ui/keys`,
then export it.
3. **If the appliance is still on its first-boot self-signed certificate**,
plain requests will fail with `CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED`. Two ways to fix,
both explained on the appliance's own `/admin/ui/docs#tls` page:
- `AGENTGUARDS_CA_BUNDLE=<path to the appliance's exported cert>` (pins it,
verification stays on — the better option)
- `AGENTGUARDS_TLS_NO_VERIFY=true` (evaluation on a private network only)
4. **Tell the user to add both variables to their shell profile**

How to install
mdr add alelaguard/agentguards-plugins/setup@sha256:5225caf95c2b60bdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260811.9c2c95a, 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.
