HOL Guard: Open-source antivirus for AI agents

HOL Guard is an open-source tool that intercepts requests between artificial intelligence (AI) assistants and computers to flag risky actions for user approval. Installation takes about one minute, runs locally without internet or file uploads, and adds minimal latency of under 50 milliseconds per check.

Why it matters: Users of Claude Code and other AI agents need defenses against unintended or malicious model outputs that could compromise their systems or data.
