Your AI agent has access to your shell, file system, database, git repos, and the internet. Right now, nothing controls what it can do with any of them.

AgentsID Guard fixes that. 11 tools across 5 categories — shell, files, database, git, HTTP — every operation validated against per-agent permission rules before execution.

How It Works

Agent: shell_run("ls -la /src")
  → Classified: shell.read.ls
  → AgentsID: ALLOWED ✓
  → Executes normally

Agent: shell_run("rm -rf /data")
  → Classified: shell.danger.rm
  → AgentsID: BLOCKED ✗
  → Never executes

Agent: db_query("DROP TABLE users")
  → Classified: db.danger.ddl
  → AgentsID: BLOCKED ✗
  → Never executes

Agent: git_run("push origin main")
  → Classified: git.write.push
  → AgentsID: BLOCKED ✗
  → Never executes

Quick Start

1. Install

npx @agentsid/guard

2. Get your keys

Sign up at agentsid.dev/dashboard — free tier: 25 agents, 10K events/month.

3. Add to Claude Code

claude mcp add guard \
  -e AGENTSID_PROJECT_KEY=aid_proj_your_key \
  -e AGENTSID_AGENT_TOKEN=aid_tok_your_token \
  -- npx @agentsid/guard

4. Set permissions

npx agentsid register-agent --name "my-agent" \
  --permissions "shell.read.*" "file.read" "file.list" "git.read.*" "http.get"

Tools

AgentsID Guard exposes 11 MCP tools:

Tool What it does Permission pattern
shell_run Execute a shell command shell.read.*, shell.write.*, shell.danger.*, shell.admin.*
file_read Read a file file.read
file_write Write/create a file file.write
file_delete Delete a file file.delete
file_list List directory contents file.list
file_info Get file metadata file.info
db_query Run a SQL query db.read, db.write.*, db.danger.*
git_run Run a git command git.read.*, git.write.*, git.danger.*
http_request Make an HTTP request http.get, http.post, http.put, http.delete
check_permission Check if an action would be allowed —
list_categories List all permission categories —

Permission Examples

Read-only research agent:

shell.read.*    → allow
file.read       → allow
file.list       → allow
db.read         → allow
git.read.*      → allow
http.get        → allow

Developer agent (read + write, no destructive):

shell.read.*    → allow
shell.write.*   → allow
file.read       → allow
file.write      → allow
file.list       → allow
db.read         → allow
db.write.*      → allow
git.read.*      → allow
git.write.*     → allow
http.get        → allow
http.post       → allow

Full access with approval gates:

shell.read.*    → allow
shell.write.*   → allow
shell.danger.*  → allow (requires approval)
shell.admin.*   → allow (requires approval)
file.*          → allow
db.read         → allow
db.write.*      → allow
db.danger.*     → allow (requires approval)
git.*           → allow
http.*          → allow

Environment Variables

Variable Required Description
AGENTSID_PROJECT_KEY Yes Your AgentsID project key
AGENTSID_AGENT_TOKEN Yes Agent token for permission checks
AGENTSID_BASE_URL No API URL (default: https://agentsid.dev)
GUARD_CWD No Working directory (default: cwd)
GUARD_TIMEOUT No Command timeout in ms (default: 30000)
GUARD_ALLOWED_DIRS No Comma-separated allowed directories for file ops (default: cwd)
GUARD_DB_URL No Database connection string for db_query (postgresql://, mysql://, or .db path)

Security

  • Deny-first — unknown commands and tools are blocked by default
  • Path containment — file operations restricted to allowed directories
  • Fail-closed — network errors to AgentsID result in denial, not bypass
  • Audit trail — every allow and deny logged to AgentsID's tamper-evident hash chain
  • No shell injection — commands executed via execSync with no shell interpolation of user input in tool arguments

Dashboard

Every operation appears in your AgentsID dashboard:

  • Which agent ran which command
  • Whether it was allowed or denied and why
  • Full audit trail across all 5 categories
