About HOL Guard
HOL Guard is a security tool that intercepts and controls risky actions AI coding agents try to take.
Developers and teams use HOL Guard to prevent their AI agents from running dangerous commands like deleting files, accessing credentials, or moving data. It's for anyone using AI coding tools who wants a safety checkpoint before risky operations execute.
- Stops destructive commands, credential access, and software installs before they run
- Allow, ask, or block actions based on your policies
- Keeps an audit record of all actions for later review
- Works locally on your computer with no internet required
Good to know: Free to start with no cost to install and run; works with Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot CLI, and other supported AI coding tools.
