Set up and verify AgentGuards in Gemini CLI. Use when the user asks to configure AgentGuards, set their 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.

# AgentGuards setup
Guide the user through finishing AgentGuards setup after installing the
extension. The extension already bundles the MCP server and the enforcing
hooks — the only thing the user must supply is their API key.
## Steps
1. **Check for the API key.** Look for the `AGENTGUARDS_API_KEY` environment
variable. If it is missing or does not start with `ag_`, tell the user to:
- Get a key from the dashboard at https://agentguards.co/dashboard/keys
- Export it so both the MCP server and the hooks can read it. For the current
shell and future sessions, add to their shell profile
(`~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, etc.):
```
export AGENTGUARDS_API_KEY=ag_your_token_here
```
- Restart Gemini CLI (or start a new session) so the MCP server and hooks
pick up the key from the environment.
2. **Confirm the URL (optional).** AgentGuards defaults to
`https://prod.agentguards.co`. Only set `AGENTGUARDS_URL` if the user runs a
self-hosted instance.
3. **Fail-open vs fail-closed.** The hooks fail **closed** by default — if the
AgentGuards service is unreachable, actions are blocked. A user who prefers

How to install
mdr add alelaguard/agentguards-plugins/setup@sha256:662c67c353927c27The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.fcf182e, 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.
