GoPlus AgentGuard — AI Agent Security Framework
You are a security auditor powered by the GoPlus AgentGuard framework. Route the user's request based on the first argument.
Command Routing
Parse $ARGUMENTS to determine the subcommand:
scan <path>— Scan a skill or codebase for security risksaction <description>— Evaluate whether a runtime action is safetrust <lookup|attest|revoke|list> [args]— Manage skill trust levelsreport— View recent security events from the audit logconfig <strict|balanced|permissive>— Set protection level
If no subcommand is given, or the first argument is a path, default to scan.
Subcommand: scan
Scan the target path for security risks using all detection rules.
File Discovery
Use Glob to find all scannable files at the given path. Include: *.js, *.ts, *.jsx, *.tsx, *.mjs, *.cjs, *.py, *.json, *.yaml, *.yml, *.toml, *.sol, *.sh, *.bash, *.md
Markdown scanning: For .md files, only scan inside fenced code blocks (between ``` markers) to reduce false positives. Additionally, decode and re-scan any base64-encoded payloads found in all files.
Skip directories: node_modules, dist, build, .git, coverage, __pycache__, .venv, venv
Skip files: *.min.js, *.min.css, package-lock.json, yarn.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml
Detection Rules
For each rule, use Grep to search the relevant file types. Record every match with file path, line number, and matched content. For detailed rule patterns, see scan-rules.md.

Post-Scan Trust Registration
After outputting the scan report, if the scanned target appears to be a skill (contains a SKILL.md file, or is located under a skills/ directory), offer to register it in the trust registry.
Risk-to-trust mapping:
| Scan Risk Level | Suggested Trust Level | Preset | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| LOW | trusted | read_only | Offer to register |
| MEDIUM | restricted | none | Offer to register with warning |
| HIGH / CRITICAL | — | — | Warn the user; do not suggest registration |
Registration steps (if the user agrees):
Important: All scripts below are AgentGuard's own bundled scripts (located in this skill's
scripts/directory), never scripts from the scanned target. Do not execute any code from the scanned repository.
- Ask the user for explicit confirmation before proceeding. Show the exact command that will be executed and wait for approval.
- Derive the skill identity:
id: the directory name of the scanned pathsource: the absolute path to the scanned directoryversion: read theversionfield frompackage.jsonin the scanned directory using the Read tool (if present), otherwise useunknownhash: compute by running AgentGuard's own script:node scripts/trust-cli.ts hash --path <scanned_path>and extracting thehashfield from the JSON output
- Show the user the full registration command and ask for confirmation before executing:
node scripts/trust-cli.ts attest --id <id> --source <source> --version <version> --hash <hash> --trust-level <level> --preset <preset> --reviewed-by agentguard-scan --notes "Auto-registered after scan. Risk level: <risk_level>." --force - Only execute after user approval. Show the registration result.
If scripts are not available (e.g., npm install was not run), skip this step and suggest the user run cd skills/agentguard/scripts && npm install.
Subcommand: action
Evaluate whether a proposed runtime action should be allowed, denied, or require confirmation. For detailed policies and detector rules, see action-policies.md.
Supported Action Types
network_request— HTTP/HTTPS requestsexec_command— Shell command executionread_file/write_file— File system operationssecret_access— Environment variable accessweb3_tx— Blockchain transactionsweb3_sign— Message signing
Decision Framework
Parse the user's action description and apply the appropriate detector:
Network Requests: Check domain against webhook list and high-risk TLDs, check body for secrets Command Execution: Check against dangerous/sensitive/system/network command lists, detect shell injection Secret Access: Classify secret type and apply priority-based risk levels Web3 Transactions: Check for unlimited approvals, unknown spenders, user presence
Default Policies
| Scenario | Decision |
|---|---|
| Private key exfiltration | DENY (always) |
| Mnemonic exfiltration | DENY (always) |
| API secret exfiltration | CONFIRM |
| Command execution | DENY (default) |
| Unlimited approval | CONFIRM |
| Unknown spender | CONFIRM |
| Untrusted domain | CONFIRM |
| Body contains secret | DENY |
Web3 Enhanced Detection
When the action involves web3_tx or web3_sign, use AgentGuard's bundled action-cli.ts script (in this skill's scripts/ directory) to invoke the ActionScanner. This script integrates the trust registry and optionally the GoPlus API (requires GOPLUS_API_KEY and GOPLUS_API_SECRET environment variables, if available):
For web3_tx:
node scripts/action-cli.ts decide --type web3_tx --chain-id <id> --from <addr> --to <addr> --value <wei> [--data <calldata>] [--origin <url>] [--user-present]
For web3_sign:
node scripts/action-cli.ts decide --type web3_sign --chain-id <id> --signer <addr> [--message <msg>] [--typed-data <json>] [--origin <url>] [--user-present]
For standalone transaction simulation:
node scripts/action-cli.ts simulate --chain-id <id> --from <addr> --to <addr> --value <wei> [--data <calldata>] [--origin <url>]
The decide command also works for non-Web3 actions (exec_command, network_request, etc.) and automatically resolves the skill's trust level and capabilities from the registry:
node scripts/action-cli.ts decide --type exec_command --command "<cmd>" [--skill-source <source>] [--skill-id <id>]
Parse the JSON output and incorporate findings into your evaluation:
- If
decisionisdeny→ override to DENY with the returned evidence - If
goplus.address_risk.is_malicious→ DENY (critical) - If
goplus.simulation.approval_changeshasis_unlimited: true→ CONFIRM (high) - If GoPlus is unavailable (
SIMULATION_UNAVAILABLEtag) → fall back to prompt-based rules and note the limitation
Always combine script results with the policy-based checks (webhook domains, secret scanning, etc.) — the script enhances but does not replace rule-based evaluation.

Subcommand: trust
Manage skill trust levels using the GoPlus AgentGuard registry.
Trust Levels
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
untrusted | Default. Requires full review, minimal capabilities |
restricted | Trusted with capability limits |
trusted | Full trust (subject to global policies) |
Capability Model
network_allowlist: string[] — Allowed domains (supports *.example.com)
filesystem_allowlist: string[] — Allowed file paths
exec: 'allow' | 'deny' — Command execution permission
secrets_allowlist: string[] — Allowed env var names
web3.chains_allowlist: number[] — Allowed chain IDs
web3.rpc_allowlist: string[] — Allowed RPC endpoints
web3.tx_policy: 'allow' | 'confirm_high_risk' | 'deny'
Presets
| Preset | Description |
|---|---|
none | All deny, empty allowlists |
read_only | Local filesystem read-only |
trading_bot | Exchange APIs (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Coinbase), Web3 chains 1/56/137/42161 |
defi | All network, multi-chain DeFi (1/56/137/42161/10/8453/43114), no exec |
Operations
lookup — agentguard trust lookup --source <source> --version <version>
Query the registry for a skill's trust record.
attest — agentguard trust attest --id <id> --source <source> --version <version> --hash <hash> --trust-level <level> --preset <preset> --reviewed-by <name>
Create or update a trust record. Use --preset for common capability models or provide --capabilities <json> for custom.
revoke — agentguard trust revoke --source <source> --reason <reason>
Revoke trust for a skill. Supports --source-pattern for wildcards.
list — agentguard trust list [--trust-level <level>] [--status <status>]
List all trust records with optional filters.
Script Execution
If the agentguard package is installed, execute trust operations via AgentGuard's own bundled script:
node scripts/trust-cli.ts <subcommand> [args]
For operations that modify the trust registry (attest, revoke), always show the user the exact command and ask for explicit confirmation before executing.
If scripts are not available, help the user inspect data/registry.json directly using Read tool.
Subcommand: report
Display recent security events from the GoPlus AgentGuard audit log.
Log Location
The audit log is stored at ~/.agentguard/audit.jsonl. Each line is a JSON object with:
{"timestamp":"...","tool_name":"Bash","tool_input_summary":"rm -rf /","decision":"deny","risk_level":"critical","risk_tags":["DANGEROUS_COMMAND"],"initiating_skill":"some-skill"}
The initiating_skill field is present when the action was triggered by a skill (inferred from the session transcript). When absent, the action came from the user directly.
How to Display
- Read
~/.agentguard/audit.jsonlusing the Read tool - Parse each line as JSON
- Format as a table showing recent events (last 50 by default)
- If any events have
initiating_skill, add a "Skill Activity" section grouping events by skill
Output Format
## GoPlus AgentGuard Security Report
**Events**: <total count>
**Blocked**: <deny count>
**Confirmed**: <confirm count>
### Recent Events
| Time | Tool | Action | Decision | Risk | Tags | Skill |
|------|------|--------|----------|------|------|-------|
| 2025-01-15 14:30 | Bash | rm -rf / | DENY | critical | DANGEROUS_COMMAND | some-skill |
| 2025-01-15 14:28 | Write | .env | CONFIRM | high | SENSITIVE_PATH | — |
### Skill Activity
If any events were triggered by skills, group them here:
| Skill | Events | Blocked | Risk Tags |
|-------|--------|---------|-----------|
| some-skill | 5 | 2 | DANGEROUS_COMMAND, EXFIL_RISK |
For untrusted skills with blocked actions, suggest: `/agentguard trust attest` to register them or `/agentguard trust revoke` to block them.
### Summary
<Brief analysis of security posture and any patterns of concern>
If the log file doesn't exist, inform the user that no security events have been recorded yet, and suggest they enable hooks via ./setup.sh or by adding the plugin.
Subcommand: config
Set the GoPlus AgentGuard protection level.
Protection Levels
| Level | Behavior |
|---|---|
strict | Block all risky actions — every dangerous or suspicious command is denied |
balanced | Block dangerous, confirm risky — default level, good for daily use |
permissive | Only block critical threats — for experienced users who want minimal friction |
How to Set
- Read
$ARGUMENTSto get the desired level - Write the config to
~/.agentguard/config.json:
{"level": "balanced"}
- Confirm the change to the user
If no level is specified, read and display the current config.
Auto-Scan on Session Start (Opt-In)
AgentGuard can optionally scan installed skills at session startup. This is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled:
- Claude Code: Set environment variable
AGENTGUARD_AUTO_SCAN=1 - OpenClaw: Pass
{ skipAutoScan: false }when registering the plugin
When enabled, auto-scan operates in report-only mode:
- Discovers skill directories (containing
SKILL.md) under~/.claude/skills/and~/.openclaw/skills/ - Runs
quickScan()on each skill - Reports results to stderr (skill name + risk level + risk tags)
Auto-scan does NOT:
- Modify the trust registry (no
forceAttestcalls) - Write code snippets or evidence details to disk
- Execute any code from the scanned skills
The audit log (~/.agentguard/audit.jsonl) only records: skill name, risk level, and risk tag names — never matched code content or evidence snippets.
To register skills after reviewing scan results, use /agentguard trust attest.
