About HOL Guard
HOL Guard is a local-first runtime control layer for AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. Instead of trusting the model, it looks at what the agent is about to do: shell commands, reads of secrets and credential files, MCP tool calls and package installs. Risky actions are paused and shown to you, and you approve or block them. Routine work keeps going without prompts.
The local tool is free and open source under Apache-2.0. Guard Cloud is an optional paid add-on for teams that want shared history and policy.
Install with: pipx install hol-guard && hol-guard init
Scan results are not a safety guarantee. Maker: HOL.
What HOL Guard does that nothing else does
It reviews the agent's actual tool calls on your own machine before they run, rather than filtering prompts.
