AgentGuards security guardrails for a self-hosted appliance — explains that enforcement is fully automatic via hooks and there is nothing further to call. Load this if asked how guardrails are enforced in this variant, or why no agentguards MCP tools are available.

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 — self-hosted, hooks-only

This variant bundles no MCP server, so there is no `check_input`/`authorize_action`
to reach for — do not `ToolSearch` for them, they are not installed here.

That is not reduced protection. The three hooks in `hooks/hooks.json` enforce
deterministically, on every request, regardless of anything the model does:

- **`UserPromptSubmit`** screens every prompt before you see it. A block or
  escalate exits non-zero and you never receive the message.
- **`PreToolUse`** authorizes every `Bash` command before it runs.
- **`PostToolUse`** scans content from `WebFetch`, `WebSearch`, and any `Bash`
  command that invokes `curl`/`wget`/`http`/`fetch`/`aria2c` — redacting or
  withholding it before you read it.

Nothing here requires you to call a tool, check a decision, or format a block
message — the hook has already acted by the time you see (or don't see) the
result. If a hook blocks something, its message appears as the tool result or
the reason a prompt was rejected; reply with that message rather than composing
your own.

**Why no MCP server:** Claude Code's plugin `.mcp.json` cannot substitute an
