AgentGuard
Open Source In devA local-first policy editor for coding agents. Safely configure Claude Code permissions in a GUI.
Overview
AgentGuard is a local-first desktop policy editor that helps Windows users safely configure what local coding agents like Claude Code can access inside a project — without having to hand-edit settings.json. All processing stays local, with no network and no telemetry.
Draw folder-level boundaries visually in an Explorer-style UI, and preview the effective access merged across scopes (User, Project, Local). Path policies fan out into tool-centric permissions, and app metadata lives only in SQLite so settings.json keeps just the pure rules.
AgentGuard is open source under the MIT license. The v0.1 desktop app is functional and under active development with Tauri 2 + SvelteKit (Svelte 5) + Rust + SQLite.
