How it works

Every tool call your agent makes is checked against a policy in ~8 ms before it runs:

Claude Code / Codex / Cursor
    │  (PreToolUse hook - every tool call)
    ▼
agentjail-hook ── Unix socket ──▶ agentjail-daemon ──▶ OPA Rego rules
    │                                                      │
    └──── allow / deny / ask ◀─────────────────────────────┘

You keep working exactly as before. The only difference: the dumb stuff quietly never happens.

• 🪝 Zero-config - one install command auto-detects your agents and wires the hook
• ⚡ ~8 ms median - persistent OPA daemon + decision cache. You won't feel it
• 🛡️ Defense in depth - hook-level policy + optional kernel sandbox (agentjail-shield)
• 📜 Real policy engine - OPA Rego rules, not regex hacks
• 🔒 Fail-closed - when in doubt, deny

What it stops

Sensitive paths mentioned only in a static git commit -m message are inert metadata. Expanding messages, other arguments, and chained commands remain blocked when they reference a protected path.

Homebrew: brew install LuD1161/tap/agentjail

Auto-detects your agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), wires the hook, starts the daemon. Restart your shell or source ~/.zshrc afterwards. For installed Claude Code and Codex hooks, AgentJail also owns one fenced block in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md or ~/.codex/AGENTS.md. The block tells the agent how to request bounded host access without routing MCP or credential operations around their normal approval paths. Install and update refresh only that block; other instructions, file modes, and instruction-file symlinks are preserved.

Cursor shell, file-read, and MCP events are normalized into the same policy contract as Claude Code and Codex. Cursor cannot prompt interactively for a file read, so an agentjail ask verdict on beforeReadFile fails closed as a normal deny; shell and MCP ask verdicts keep Cursor's approval prompt. Re-running agentjail install --for cursor also replaces a legacy bare AgentJail hook command with the Cursor-specific adapter. Codex registers PreToolUse, PermissionRequest, and PostToolUse only for policy-governed tools, so unrelated UI calls are not intercepted and sandbox-denied tool outcomes are recorded against the original decision. For a Codex Bash command with an AgentJail ask verdict, installation also owns one exact execpolicy rule that opens Codex's native approval prompt. An approved prompt redeems a short-lived, one-use challenge and runs the original command; cancel, expiry, replay, --ignore-rules, or an unverifiable Codex process chain denies it. AgentJail shows 🔐 AgentJail approval required for: and the redacted effective shell command immediately before Codex's native prompt; the fixed --operation shell-command command inside the prompt carries no original shell text. This transport follows the ask action rather than a built-in rule list, so user-authored Bash policies get the same approval path. Git remote updates are recognized from parsed executable arguments, including global options such as git -C, instead of raw phrase matching. Re-run agentjail install --for codex after upgrading to install or repair this managed rule; AgentJail never overwrites a locally changed rule. See ADR 0118-codex-approval-broker and ADR 0119-command-approval-transport.

On Linux and macOS, a shielded Codex session can request one bounded host-side CLI run:

agentjail proxy -- rdt --help

Eligible executables open Codex's native allow-once prompt for the exact command. Approval authorizes one execution from the registered project root; rejection, expiry, replay, changed arguments or cwd, and direct proxy/socket calls fail closed. Git/GitHub, cloud and infrastructure clients, AgentJail control binaries, shells, direct interpreters, and generic/runtime wrappers such as env, xargs, sudo, npx, and uv are always denied. Symlinks are resolved before this check. This is a UX guardrail for accidental footguns, not a containment boundary for renamed programs or approved tools that start helpers.

The daemon starts the approved absolute executable outside the shield without a shell, stdin, or TTY, with a 30-second timeout and 1 MiB combined output limit. It uses the daemon service environment—not the interactive login-shell environment—and does not forward caller environment variables. Host configuration and keychain access may work; environment-only credentials and interactive programs are not supported. See ADR 0134-host-proxy-mvp and ADR 0135-macos-host-proxy.

SessionStart and Stop also display a live shield-and-daemon attestation. Each apply_patch target is normalized to the same file-policy contract as an Edit, so a multi-file patch is denied when any target is protected.

agentjail status                      # quick installed-component snapshot
agentjail doctor                      # comprehensive protection diagnostics
agentjail doctor --fix                # repair what it can (dead daemon, dangling shim, stale service unit), then re-check
agentjail try "cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa"     # dry-run: ✗ DENY (nothing executes)
agentjail logs                        # watch SQLite-backed decisions live
agentjail logs --latest 1000 --json   # newest 1000 matching decisions, chronological JSON
agentjail stats                       # aggregate final outcomes, policy denies, latency, and coverage
agentjail sessions                    # active and past agent sessions
agentjail replay --session 625d86f1   # interactive TUI replay

Each shielded launch writes structured JSON diagnostics to a private ~/.agentjail/logs/shield-*.log file and retains the newest 10 files. Use the canonical agentjail run --verbose -- <agent> form to mirror that stream to stderr while troubleshooting; arguments after the second -- still belong to the agent unchanged. Normal startup stays within one to three lines: sandbox readiness plus any actionable security warning or prompt.

Is this session actually protected? In Claude Code and Cursor CLI, the status line tells you, for the whole life of the session:

🔒 [secured by agentjail (v1.0.0)]        ← shield active, policy daemon answering
⚠  [POLICY OFF · shield only · agentjail]  ← kernel sandbox on, but policy is NOT enforced
⚠  [UNSECURED · agentjail]                 ← hooks may apply, but no kernel sandbox

It never renders nothing while agentjail is installed — silence would be indistinguishable from protection. Launch warnings go to stderr and get scrolled away the moment Claude Code takes over the terminal, so the badge is the one signal that survives (ADR 0064).

The badge attests both enforcement layers (ADR 0085):

• UNSECURED — the session is not running under agentjail-shield. Use agentjail run -- <agent>, or install the PATH shim to get it automatically.
• POLICY OFF — the shield is holding, but the policy daemon is unreachable and the hook is failing open, so no rule is being evaluated. Restart the daemon; agentjail doctor says why.

The padlock only appears when both are live. When agentjail is uninstalled the badge disappears entirely.

On macOS, a shielded launch also starts the loopback web UI on demand. While it is reachable, the status line includes a clickable 📊 UI link to http://127.0.0.1:9101; UI startup is best-effort and never blocks the agent.

Cursor's command-based status line is installed in ~/.cursor/cli-config.json; an existing command is chained and restored on uninstall (ADR 0113). Codex's /statusline currently selects only built-in fields and cannot execute the persistent AgentJail badge. Instead, AgentJail's SessionStart and Stop hooks display one of sandbox + policy active, sandbox active, policy daemon offline, or OS sandbox inactive; agentjail status and agentjail doctor remain available for an on-demand check.

When Codex is launched through the opt-in PATH shim with --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox (or --yolo), AgentJail keeps Codex at danger-full-access but leaves only execpolicy-rule approvals interactive. For any Bash ask, including a user-authored custom policy, AgentJail prints the redacted effective command immediately before Codex's native prompt, while the broker command inside the prompt carries only --operation shell-command and an opaque challenge. This does not re-enable sandbox, MCP, request_permissions, or skill-script prompts. Invoke the bypass flag as the leading Codex option so the shim can preserve these separate semantics (ADR 0119-command-approval-transport).

Updating

agentjail update

Downloads the latest release, verifies SHA-256, atomically swaps binaries, and restarts the daemon. If activation fails, it restores the previous binaries, role paths, and permissions, then restarts the restored daemon. Requires an interactive terminal (agents can't self-update). No-op when already current.

Daemon Auto-Update

The daemon automatically checks for new versions every ~6 hours. When an update is available, it downloads, verifies (signature + checksum), swaps binaries, and restarts via the platform service manager (launchd on macOS, systemd on Linux).

To disable auto-update:

export AGENTJAIL_AUTO_UPDATE=false

To disable all update checks (notifications and auto-update):

export AGENTJAIL_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1

For launchd-managed daemons (macOS), set via the plist at ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.agentjail.daemon.plist:

<key>EnvironmentVariables</key>
<dict>
    <key>AGENTJAIL_AUTO_UPDATE</key>
    <string>false</string>
</dict>

For systemd-managed daemons (Linux), set via an environment override file:

systemctl --user edit agentjail-daemon.service
# Add under [Service]:
# Environment=AGENTJAIL_AUTO_UPDATE=false

Uninstall

agentjail uninstall                   # remove everything
agentjail uninstall --keep-credentials # keep the encrypted vault + master key
agentjail uninstall --for claude-code # just unhook one agent
agentjail uninstall --for vscode     # just remove one IDE wrapper

Removal is total: ~/.agentjail, the daemon and its launchd/systemd unit, the secrets broker, IDE wrappers, the PATH shim and its shell-profile block, every agent hook, and AgentJail's fenced global-guidance blocks. The exact unmarked two-line guidance used by pre-release builds is removed too. AgentJail's Claude Code and Cursor CLI status lines are removed — and if agentjail wrapped a status line you already had, that original command is restored verbatim. A hook or guidance cleanup failure names the affected agent and path, makes uninstall exit non-zero, and prevents the summary from claiming full removal (ADR 0063, ADR 0113).

policy.yaml is deleted. Reinstalling writes a fresh default, where mcp.allowed: [] denies every MCP server. If you have customised your MCP allowlist or network.allowed_hosts, back it up first:

cp ~/.agentjail/policy.yaml ~/policy.yaml.bak

--keep-credentials preserves only the encrypted vault (secrets/) and its key (secrets.key), not your policy, database, logs, or trust state.

If the daemon wasn't started by your service manager (a manual run, a different install channel, an upgrade transition), uninstall stops and removes nothing:

🛑  uninstall aborted
✗ daemon STILL RUNNING — the service manager does not own it, so it was not stopped

That is deliberate. The daemon's hookwatch re-injects the agentjail hook the moment anything removes it — it cannot tell an uninstall from tampering — so tearing down around a live daemon would delete agentjail while leaving your agents wired to a hook binary that no longer exists. Kill it and re-run, or force it (ADR 0065):

pkill -u $(id -u) -f agentjail-daemon && agentjail uninstall
agentjail uninstall --force           # tear down anyway (leaves hooks re-injected)

What's protected

3 core policies (always on):

The immutable built-in standard posture also sets capabilities.git_ssh: true. The installed ~/.agentjail/policy.yaml is protected from coding agents but remains editable by its human owner; set the capability to false for a strict standing posture.

4 locked self-protection rules (can never be disabled):

file_policy/hook_config asks (does not block) on Write/Edit to ~/.claude/settings*.json to prevent silent hook removal. It is not locked, so it can be disabled like any other rule; it does not cover ~/.codex/ or ~/.cursor/.

agentjail policy list                      # see every rule + on/off/locked
agentjail policy enable no_shell_init_write

agentjail policy list                          # on / off / locked for every rule
agentjail policy disable file_policy/sensitive_in_project   # stop asking on in-project secrets
agentjail policy enable  file_policy/sensitive_in_project   # turn it back on

agentjail mcp list                # current allowed + blocked
agentjail mcp allow claude-mem    # trust a server
agentjail mcp block my-payment-bot
agentjail mcp scan                # full MCP surface map from configs, npm, pip, Docker, audit history

Custom policies

Rules are OPA Rego. Install with the CLI:

agentjail policy add ~/my_rule.rego   # validates + hot-reloads daemon
agentjail policy remove my_rule
agentjail policy list

Network visibility

Direct agentjail run launches filter network access by port unless --tunnel is passed. The opt-in PATH shim adds that flag by default, so ordinary claude, codex, and Cursor agent commands route traffic through the transparent forwarder and policy can act on what the agent does on the network:

agentjail run --tunnel -- claude

Release checks and other callers that must prove this exact path use --require-tunnel. It implies --tunnel and refuses to launch the agent when tunnel setup fails, instead of silently testing a fallback network mode:

agentjail run --require-tunnel -- codex

No sudo, no daemon, no install-time setup. On Linux the tunnel runs in unprivileged user + network + mount namespaces the shield creates and owns (ADR 0079). Nothing is provisioned at install; a session that never tunnels is never asked for anything (ADR 0078). Explicit launchers remain opt-in per session; installing the PATH shim records the user's standing choice to make tunneled launches the default (ADR 0127).

It decrypts HTTPS by default, and says so. Policy templates only reach HTTP(S) traffic through TLS interception, so --tunnel terminates TLS using a CA minted per session, kept in memory, and injected only into that agent's namespace trust store — never the host's, never your browser's. Every launch prints which posture it is in (ADR 0077):

✓ transparent tunnel active (userns) · TLS interception ON — decrypting this agent's HTTPS

Speaks HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2. The interceptor advertises h2, http/1.1 over ALPN and serves the agent over whichever it negotiates — so h2-only clients (gRPC, and runtimes that pin h2) work, not just HTTP/1.1. gRPC calls are decrypted and policy-evaluated like any other request, with status codes and trailers (grpc-status) preserved end to end. Streaming and bidirectional RPCs are forwarded without buffering the body, so a long-lived stream never stalls; body-content policy applies to bounded request bodies, while host/path/method policy applies to everything including streams (ADR 0102).

To keep the tunnel but relay TLS opaquely — for cert-pinned endpoints, or if you will not accept decryption — use --no-mitm, or set network.tunnel_mitm: false in policy.yaml for a standing opt-out. The trade is real: without interception agentjail sees only destination IP, SNI, and byte counts, and HTTP(S) policy templates cannot match (database and SSH rules still apply).

Run agentjail doctor to see the current posture without launching an agent. Its terminal-aware report uses the same branded colors and status glyphs on Linux and macOS, including over SSH and inside tmux; redirected output remains plain, while NO_COLOR disables color without removing Unicode structure.

macOS reaches the same place by a different road: instead of network namespaces (which macOS lacks) the tunnel runs as a NETransparentProxy system extension that funnels the agent's traffic through the same in-process gVisor gateway and internal/mitm interceptor. HTTP(S) decryption, h2, and the policy templates work identically; the one endpoint MITM cannot reach on macOS (Claude Code's Bun inference client) is handled by the capture gateway below.

Tunneled macOS sessions also preserve the validated per-user $TMPDIR staging path, so pasting an image or other temporary attachment into an agent works without granting broad writes to /var.

Capture gateway for LLM providers

On macOS today (Linux parity is planned), some agents refuse a MITM certificate for their model API no matter how the CA is trusted — current Claude Code runs on Bun, and its inference client (POST /v1/messages) ignores every CA store, so transparent MITM cannot capture it. Under --tunnel, agentjail instead routes a detected provider agent through a local capture gateway: it points the agent's own supported base-URL override (ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL) at a loopback proxy, records the full request and response (bodies included, encrypted at rest), and forwards to the real provider over TLS. The agent keeps working; you see the traffic. A base URL you already set is preserved (the gateway forwards to it), and a target that is neither the provider nor an allowed host is refused. Opt out with --no-provider-gateway or network.capture_gateway: false. See ADR 0109.

Requirement: unprivileged user namespaces. The tunnel builds its namespaces without root, so the kernel must allow unprivileged userns. Most distros allow this out of the box. Ubuntu 23.10+ (including 24.04) ships it AppArmor-gated off (kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=1). When userns is unavailable the tunnel is not silently broken — it fails open to netproxy, so the agent keeps working and host/SNI-level egress policy still applies; only the HTTP(S) decryption layer is unavailable. agentjail doctor detects this and, on Ubuntu, prints the exact one-time command to enable it:

printf 'kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0\n' \
  | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/99-agentjail-userns.conf && sudo sysctl --system

We deliberately do not run this for you at install: flipping a system sysctl needs root, and agentjail's install never asks for a password. Enabling the full tunnel on such hosts is a conscious, one-line opt-in — or you stay on netproxy.

When the daemon is unreachable

agentjail-hook is stdlib-only and dials the daemon with a 30 ms budget. If the daemon is down (crashed, OOM, not yet started), behavior is a configurable, tiered policy (ADR 0050, default set by ADR 0074):

# ~/.agentjail/policy.yaml
daemon_unreachable: degraded   # allow | degraded (default) | deny

degraded is the default because everything it denies offline is already permanently denied online — it mirrors the locked rule set that no policy.yaml can switch off. So it cannot refuse a call that would have succeeded against a healthy daemon; it only keeps agentjail's self-protection standing while the daemon is away.

Every fail-open occurrence now prints a loud, per-occurrence stderr banner naming the active level and the exact recovery command (agentjail daemon restart, diagnose with agentjail doctor, or let agentjail doctor --fix restart it through its supervisor and verify the daemon answers before saying so — ADR 0086) — replacing the old one-time warning. The daemon compiles the current level (and, for degraded, the offline rule set) into ~/.agentjail/hook-fallback.json on startup and every config reload; a missing or unreadable sidecar falls back to allow, since a daemon that never started has published no rules to enforce — degraded protects you from a daemon that died, not one that never ran.

Daemon restart is a human control action: the CLI requires access to the shield-protected control token and typed confirmation on /dev/tty. AgentJail also permanently denies both agentjail daemon restart and a direct systemctl --user restart agentjail-daemon.service from agent tool calls, including while the policy daemon is offline in degraded mode.

Monitor mode — see what it would block, before it blocks anything

Try agentjail against your real work without it stopping anything (ADR 0091):

# ~/.agentjail/policy.yaml
enforcement: monitor   # enforce (default) | monitor

Every tool call is evaluated against the full policy set and the verdict is recorded — but nothing is blocked. Run it for a day, then read the report:

$ agentjail monitor --since 24h
Would have blocked 3 tool call(s) since 24h:

COUNT  VERDICT  TOOL  RULE
3      deny     Read  file_policy/sensitive_credential

When you like what you see, set enforcement: enforce and the same rules start acting. agentjail monitor --json gives the machine-readable form.

Monitor mode means the guardrail is off. It is opt-in and never a default, the daemon warns at startup, and every affected tool call tells the agent what would have happened and why. The unenforced window is recorded as an enforcement.mode_changed audit event, because a log full of allow rows cannot explain itself. A project's .agentjail/policy.yaml cannot turn it on — only the global config can, which the shield grants read-only.

Two things it is not:

• It is not daemon_unreachable. That axis covers a daemon that is gone; this one covers a healthy daemon choosing not to act.
• It only covers tool calls. Network egress needs the tunnel (AGE-243); filesystem access is kernel-enforced by Landlock/Seatbelt and cannot be shadowed at all (AGE-244). A quiet report means your tool calls were clean — and a thin ruleset flags nothing, which looks identical.

What has it actually done? — agentjail stats

logs streams individual decisions; stats aggregates final outcomes. One read-only pass over the local store gives you totals, top policy deny rules, a per-agent and per-surface breakdown, latency percentiles, and any day the shield activated but recorded zero decisions.

Latency is microseconds and is a local engineering surface only — ADR 0002 forbids citing raw elapsed_us in external claims.

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md. All commits are signed off (DCO) and follow Conventional Commits.

The clean-VM release gate is agent-selectable and currently defaults to Codex:

AGENTJAIL_TESTBED_AGENT=codex make e2e-release

Run it once on a Linux host (Lima/KVM) and once on Apple Silicon macOS (Tart) before tagging. The Codex gate checks host RAM and disk before boot, requires a file-based auth cache, and fails rather than skipping when authentication is unavailable. Its VM is stopped and deleted on every exit path by default; see test/testbed/README.md.

For an authorized independent review, the gate also has an explicit AGENTJAIL_TESTBED_RAW_EVIDENCE_DIR mode that binds its clean-install baseline, installer inputs, source tree, structured results, databases, and raw agent artifacts in a temporary owner-only manifest. Those unsanitized files are never release assets and must not be committed.
