HOL Guard is a free, local-first control point for AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. It checks shell, secrets, MCP and package-install calls before they reach your system and lets you approve or block them.

Local HOL Guard is free and open source (Apache-2.0). Guard Cloud is an optional paid add-on for teams.

Install with pipx install hol-guard && hol-guard init. Scan is not a safety guarantee. Maker: HOL.
