# Block unsafe agent actions and scan newly added skills with AgentGuard

Add a runtime guard that evaluates agent actions, blocks dangerous commands or secret exposure, and audits new skills before they run.

## Prerequisites

Node.js, supported agent runtime such as Claude Code or OpenClaw, local skill directories and agent action hooks

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- npm install -g @goplus/agentguard
- git clone https://github.com/GoPlusSecurity/agentguard.git
- npm install @goplus/agentguard

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- # Requires the local OpenClaw Gateway at 127.0.0.1:18789.
- | 3 | **Network Exposure** | Detects dangerous ports bound to 0.0.0.0 (Redis, Docker API, MySQL, etc.), checks firewall status, flags suspicious outbound connections |
- **Note:** Patrol requires an OpenClaw environment. For non-OpenClaw setups, use /agentguard scan and /agentguard report for manual security checks.

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- 8 comprehensive security checks run on a configurable schedule
- # skills, and reports matches back. Run in cron / on boot.
- # Optional: after one subscribe run, install an OpenClaw isolated cron job that
