About
Bitdefender AI Guardian is a macOS security application for people who use autonomous AI agents, including developers and other technical users. It installs a local background service and command-line interface that checks agent activity against user-defined policies. The software inspects prompts, tool calls, MCP servers, installed skills and file access, and can allow, flag or block actions. It can scan skills and MCP servers, help keep credential paths away from agents, and record decisions in an encrypted local audit log for review. Users can also receive private direct-message alerts through a selected chat platform. In its beta, AI Guardian supports Claude Code, OpenClaw and Hermes Agent and is offered free for macOS; the company describes additional operating-system support as planned. It is intended to add controls around agent actions rather than replace an AI model, agent framework or conventional antivirus.

About
HOL Guard is a local-first runtime security layer for AI agents that watches what an AI assistant is about to do and stops risky actions before they happen. It sits between the agent and the computer, evaluating supported tool calls and local artifacts for threats such as secret and credential exposure, destructive commands, prompt-injection-driven actions, malicious or changed packages, risky MCP configuration, and unsafe plugins, skills, hooks, and settings. Known threats can be blocked automatically, while ambiguous actions are paused for user approval so people remain in control. Guard runs entirely on the developer’s machine, works offline, and does not upload files, prompts, or passwords. Local checks typically complete in under 50 milliseconds and require no changes to existing code or routines. It supports coding agents including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Hermes, and OpenClaw, with tailored integrations that inspect actions before execution.
