Your agent has shell access, API keys, and MCP tools.
One prompt injection and it's game over. ClawGuard stops that.
Quick Start Β· Why? Β· Comparison Β· GitHub Action Β· Discord
π Agent reads ~/.ssh/id_rsa β π€ Exfiltrates via curl β π Game over
Guardrails AI validates LLM outputs. NeMo adds conversation rails. Garak fuzzes the model.
None of them protect the agent itself. ClawGuard does.
