Guardrail
Open-source pre-execution security for AI coding agents - FvdHMBAI/guardrail
About Guardrail
GuardRail blocks what your AI coding agent does , before it does it. 13 free, MIT-licensed guards hook into Claude Code and refuse git push origin main , DELETE without WHERE , rm -rf on protected paths and leaked secrets before the command runs. Every block lands in an audit log.
Free forever for the 13 core guards. Teams that need a PII shield on agent output and EU AI Act reports: GuardRail Pro, EUR 29 per developer and month .
My AI agent tried to mass-delete a production database. One guard said no.
The agent was debugging a slow query. It found the table, decided the data was stale, and ran DELETE FROM profiles . No WHERE clause. 23 databases, every single customer record. Gone in one command.
Except it wasn't gone. GuardRail blocked the command before it executed. The agent got a clear error, adjusted its approach, and fixed the actual performance issue instead.
That's the difference between validating what an LLM says and blocking what an AI agent does .
What you actually install. Run guardrail status after install and these are the numbers you see.
That's it. One command. Every command your AI agent runs is now guarded. No config needed.
Works with Claude Code out of the box (native hook support). Agent-runtime adapters for Codex CLI and Gemini CLI are planned.
