# AgentGuards status

Report the current state of AgentGuards protection.

1. Call the `health_check` tool from the `agentguards` MCP server.

2. Report:
   - **Service reachability** from `health_check` (healthy / unreachable).
   - **API key**: whether `AGENTGUARDS_API_KEY` is set (show only the `ag_` prefix
     and length, never the full token).
   - **URL**: the value of `AGENTGUARDS_URL`, or the default
     `https://prod.agentguards.co`.
   - **Fail mode**: fail-closed unless `AGENTGUARDS_FAIL_OPEN=true`.
   - **Active guardrails**: UserPromptSubmit input scanning, PreToolUse
     shell-command authorization, PostToolUse web-content scanning, and the MCP
     tools `check_input`, `authorize_action`, `validate_output`,
     `evaluate_policy`.

3. If the service is unreachable or the key is missing, walk the user through the
   setup steps (set `AGENTGUARDS_API_KEY` and restart Codex).
