egc-guardian

Validation and safety layer. Runs in the background intercepting commands and file writes before they execute.

Overview

egc-guardian intercepts shell commands and file system writes before they execute. It blocks patterns that are unsafe — shell injection, writes to sensitive paths, known dangerous binaries — and passes everything else through.

It also provides context utilities: reduce_context trims Markdown payloads to reduce token usage, and orchestrate_task routes prompts to the relevant agents and skills.

Tools

validate_command Security 
validate_command({ command: string, cwd?: string })

Validates a shell command before execution. Blocks shell injection patterns (semicolons, pipes to bash, backtick execution), known dangerous binaries, and commands targeting protected paths.

Returns: { allowed: boolean, reason?: string }

validate_write Security 
validate_write({ path: string, content?: string })

Validates a file write operation. Blocks writes to sensitive system paths (~/.ssh/, /etc/, /usr/, /bin/) and paths outside the project directory.

Returns: { allowed: boolean, reason?: string }

reduce_context Utility 
reduce_context({ content: string, max_tokens?: number })

Deduplicates and trims a Markdown payload to reduce token count. Removes repeated headers, collapses whitespace, and truncates to the token limit if specified.

Returns: Trimmed Markdown string.

orchestrate_task Utility 
orchestrate_task({ prompt: string, context?: string })

Analyzes a prompt and returns a routing suggestion: which agents, skills, and commands are most relevant. Does not execute anything — returns a plan for the AI to follow.

Returns: Object with suggested agents, skills, and commands.
