What is AgentGuard and how does it work?

Does AgentGuard work with popular AI models like Claude or GPT?

Yes, it integrates via MCP with Claude, GPT, Cline, or any compatible agent—no API keys shared, runs fully local.

Is AgentGuard free and open source?

Core install is free via PyPI; archetypes marketplace has paid options, GitHub repo active but modest stars.
