AgentGuard

AI agents can be hijacked with a single hidden line of text. AgentGuard sits between your agent and your files, intercepting every tool call before it executes so a malicious email can't steal your data.

What it does

When an AI agent decides to call a tool (read a file, send an email, run a command), AgentGuard evaluates that call before it happens. It checks whether the action is within scope of what the user actually asked for, whether the arguments point to sensitive resources, and whether the content that triggered the action looks like a prompt injection attempt. It returns ALLOW, ASK_USER, or DENY with a plain-English explanation.

Quick start

cd agent-firewall pip install -r requirements.txt python -m agentguard

Pages Dashboard — step through a live attack demo. A malicious email with a hidden instruction tries to exfiltrate your SSH private key. Watch it get blocked before the file is touched.

Report — allowed vs blocked vs pending counts for the session, with a full event table and JSON export.

Eval — run a prompt injection test across multiple AI models to see which ones follow hidden instructions in email content and which ones refuse.
