About Bitdefender AI Guardian
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.
