Claim this listingShortlist HOL Guard if your developers already let Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or similar agents run commands on their laptops and you want a check before a destructive command or a read of your cloud credentials. Start with the free local version, which needs no account and is enough for most individuals and small teams; pay for Guard Cloud only when you need history across devices or one shared policy for a team.
Before rolling it out, read the vendor's support matrix for the exact agents and events your team uses, because enforcement depth differs by agent. The contracting entity is a DAO LLC governed by Marshall Islands law, paid plans are billed in dollars and are non-refundable, and the terms mix in crypto and points-programme clauses, so procurement teams should read them closely. The alternative is the built-in approval prompts in each agent plus a sandbox or container; Guard adds one policy across many agents and an audit trail, at the cost of another tool that changes almost daily.

In short
HOL Guard is listed under IT, Security & Hosting, reviewed for Indian buyers. All-in it runs about ₹485/mo for a GST-registered business ($4.99/mo sticker plus about 3.5% card forex). FindThatSoftware rates it best for developers who let AI coding agents run shell commands and want a check before risky ones; a poor fit for teams that want a guarantee: the vendor says coverage varies by agent and event.
The rupee price a business actually pays, after the card forex markup, with GST shown both ways.
Registered business, per month
₹485
HOL Guard advertises $4.99/mo. A GST-registered business in India pays about ₹485 a month (₹5,817/yr) once the roughly 3.5% card forex markup is added, with GST reclaimed as input credit. If you cannot reclaim GST, it is about ₹572 a month.
Indicative, not a bill. The exchange rate is a single mid-market reference, not a live feed, and GST-registered businesses may reclaim input credit. Confirm current pricing on the vendor site.

HOL Guard is made by Hashgraph Online (HOL), a consortium that builds open standards and infrastructure for AI agents, run through Hashgraph Online DAO LLC. It installs on a developer's machine as a Python package and sits between an AI coding agent and the computer, checking shell commands, secret and credential reads, package installs, MCP server configs, plugins and skills before they run. On supported agent events it can allow, ask for approval or block, and it keeps a local record of each decision; the vendor says this works offline and that files are not uploaded. The local runtime is Apache-2.0 open source and free, while the optional paid Guard Cloud plans add synced history across devices, alerts, GitHub secret monitoring and shared team policy. The vendor is open that coverage depends on what each agent exposes, so some actions are blocked, some only observed and some not covered at all.
