Report AgentGuards guardrail status for a self-hosted appliance. Use when the user runs /agentguards:status or asks whether AgentGuards is active, healthy, or correctly configured.
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 status — self-hosted
There is no `health_check` MCP tool in this variant (see the `guardrails`
skill for why). Check status directly instead:
1. **Confirm both required variables are set** in the environment:
`AGENTGUARDS_URL` and `AGENTGUARDS_API_KEY`. If either is missing, stop here
and point the user at the `setup` skill — the hooks fail closed
("Not configured") without them, which blocks every prompt.
2. **Check the appliance is reachable**, using the actual configured value —
never hardcode a URL:
```
curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' "$AGENTGUARDS_URL/health"
```
`200` means the appliance is up. A connection failure or a certificate error
means the hooks will fail closed too — see the `setup` skill's TLS step.
3. **Confirm the key is accepted**, not just present:
```
curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' "$AGENTGUARDS_URL/v1/guardrails/evaluate-input" \
-H "X-API-Key: $AGENTGUARDS_API_KEY" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"text":"status check"}'
```
`200` means it's accepted. `401` means the key is wrong or was revoked on
the appliance's own Keys page.

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260804.4143397, 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.
