About This Launch
HOL Guard is local-first runtime control for AI coding agents. It governs high-risk actions such as shell execution, secret-file reads, MCP server changes, and plugin/skill installs. Apache-2.0 open source. It is not a cloud MCP gateway, not a complete prompt-injection preventer, and not a secrets manager or SCA replacement.
Why I Built This
Coding agents need runtime guardrails that stay on the developer machine. We built HOL Guard so teams can control agent actions locally without sending traffic through a cloud proxy.
