CLAUDE.md

agentguard CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from GoPlusSecurity/agentguard. It costs 340 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for AgentGuard, a security framework for AI agents that scans code, evaluates planned actions, manages trust levels, and records security events.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan a path, assess a runtime action, manage skill trust, run security patrols, review audit logs, configure protection levels, or create a health report.
Why use it?
It helps identify code risks and decide whether an agent action should be allowed, denied, or confirmed. It also supports routine checks of agent environments.

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

agentguard CLAUDE.md 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 25d 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.

GoPlus AgentGuard

Security framework for AI agents. Provides code scanning, runtime action evaluation, and trust management.

Skill

This project provides a unified Claude Code skill: /agentguard

/agentguard scan <path>          — Scan code for security risks (24 detection rules)
/agentguard action <description> — Evaluate runtime action safety (allow/deny/confirm)
/agentguard patrol [run|setup|status] — Daily security patrol for OpenClaw environments
/agentguard trust <subcommand>   — Manage skill trust levels (lookup/attest/revoke/list)
/agentguard report               — View security event audit log
/agentguard config <level>       — Set protection level (strict/balanced/permissive)
/agentguard checkup              — Run agent health checkup with visual HTML report
/agentguard privacy <cmd>        — Opt-in semantic privacy enhancement (status/enable/disable)

Project Structure

  • skills/agentguard/ — Claude Code skill definition and supporting files
  • src/ — TypeScript source (scanner rules, registry, action detectors, MCP server)
  • data/ — Registry storage (registry.json)
  • dist/ — Compiled JavaScript output

Setup for Trust & Action CLI

The trust and action subcommands use CLI scripts that require the agentguard package:

cd skills/agentguard/scripts && npm install

For GoPlus API (optional Web3 enhancement for action evaluation):

export GOPLUS_API_KEY=your_key
export GOPLUS_API_SECRET=your_secret

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.
