# AgentGuards status

Report the current state of AgentGuards protection.

1. Load and call the health check tool:

- `ToolSearch(query="select:mcp__agentguards__health_check")` then call

- `health_check`.

+ `ToolSearch(query="agentguards health_check")` then call the `health_check`

+ tool it returns. (As a plugin its full name is

+ `mcp__plugin_agentguards-claude_agentguards__health_check`; the keyword query

+ finds it either way.)

2. Report:

- **Service reachability** from `health_check` (healthy / unreachable).

- **API key**: whether `AGENTGUARDS_API_KEY` is set (show only the `ag_` prefix

and length, never the full token).

- **URL**: the value of `AGENTGUARDS_URL`, or the default

`https://prod.agentguards.co`.

- **Fail mode**: fail-closed unless `AGENTGUARDS_FAIL_OPEN=true`.

- **Active guardrails**: UserPromptSubmit input scanning, PreToolUse Bash

authorization, PostToolUse web-content scanning, and the MCP tools

`check_input`, `authorize_action`, `validate_output`, `evaluate_policy`.

3. If the service is unreachable or the key is missing, point the user to

`/agentguards:setup`.
