status

status is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alelaguard/agentguards-plugins. It costs 39 tokens per session (400 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A status-checking guide for a self-hosted AgentGuards security appliance, which is a security service you run on your own infrastructure.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking environment settings, the appliance health endpoint, and access-key validity, then reporting the result.
Why use it?
It gives a direct way to tell whether the service is configured, reachable, and accepting its access key.

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

status scanned grade A 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 3d 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.

What it actually 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    200 means it's accepted. 401 means the key is wrong or was revoked on the appliance's own Keys page.

  4. Report plainly: which of the two variables are set, the /health status code, and the evaluate-input status code. Do not speculate beyond what these three checks actually showed.

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.

status is a skill published in the GitHub repository alelaguard/agentguards-plugins (1 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 400 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
