agt-check

agt-check is a command for coding agents from microsoft/agent-governance-toolkit. It costs 19 tokens per session (112 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that checks supplied text for prompt injection, context poisoning, and threats involving MCP, a protocol for connecting AI assistants to tools and data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to submit text for inspection and print the detector's JSON result.
Why use it?
It provides a governance check for text that might manipulate an agent or compromise its tool context.

Part of the agt-governance plugin — 2 commands, 1 MCP server shipped together

About the project

Agent Governance Toolkit is a framework for controlling autonomous AI agents through policy enforcement, identity tracking, execution sandboxing, and reliability practices. Teams use it to decide which agent actions are allowed, identify agents in multi-agent systems, and keep records of decisions. The catalogue entries provide its instructions, commands, plugin, MCP server, and skill.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

npx agentmods add commands/microsoft/agent-governance-toolkit/agt-check
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/microsoft/agent-governance-toolkit

Or install agt-governance, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 2 commands, 1 MCP server.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agt-check scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, tell the user to pass text to inspect.

Otherwise, call mcp__agt_governance__agt_policy_check_text exactly once with:

{"text":"$ARGUMENTS"}

Print the JSON result verbatim. Do not summarize or add commentary.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
