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 scans untrusted content (fetched pages, third-party files, fork diffs) for prompt-injection patterns with validate_content, advisory only, and 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 })

Validates a shell command before execution. Blocks shell injection patterns (semicolons, pipes to bash, backtick execution), known dangerous binaries, inline eval even when the flag is glued to its value, grep pattern files pointed at protected paths, paths smuggled inside flag=value forms, and commands targeting protected paths. Secret redaction also covers Google-style API keys.

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

validate_write Security
validate_write({ filepath: 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 }

validate_content Security
validate_content({ content: string, source?: string })

Heuristically scans untrusted content (fetched web pages, third-party files, API responses, fork PR diffs) for prompt-injection patterns before it is trusted. Advisory only: it returns [FLAGGED] or [CLEAN] and never blocks; the caller decides how to treat flagged content. The optional source label goes to the audit log.

Returns: [FLAGGED] with the matched patterns, or [CLEAN].

reduce_context Utility
reduce_context({ filepaths: string[], mode?: 'FAST_RESPONSE' | 'DEEP_COGNITION' })

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, filepaths?: string[] })

Analyzes a prompt and returns a routing suggestion: which agents and skills are most relevant, scored locally against the catalog with no API key. Only components the tool has installed are offered; matching components that are not installed are listed apart with the command that adds them, so the AI never invokes something missing. Does not execute anything. The decision stays with the AI, by intent.

Returns: Object with installed agents and skills, a not_installed list with an install_hint, and whether the installation is known.

auto_learn Learning
auto_learn({ project_path: string, target_file?: string, limit?: number })

Mines recent tool failures from session history and writes actionable recommendations to all AI tool config files found in the project (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, AGENTS.md, Cursor rules, Copilot instructions, Devin Desktop rules, and others). Only writes to files that already exist. Safe to call at any time; skips gracefully if no failures are found.

Returns: Object with patterns_found, recommendations_written, target_file, propagated_to (list of files written), and skipped.
