A locally run helper that connects the coding agent to GitHub, a website for hosting code and collaborating on software projects. It requires a GitHub access token to run.

It is intended for tasks involving GitHub, but the available description is too limited to identify specific jobs.

It gives the agent a configured way to work with GitHub-related tasks. The input does not specify which GitHub actions it supports.

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.

Security

Grade C, and why

github scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

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.

github is an MCP server published in the GitHub repository Aster-Works/aster-guard (0 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. Its token cost is not measured: an MCP server costs its tool schemas, not its config file. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (reaches for credential files). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
