# HOL Guard (io.github.hashgraph-online/hol-guard@3.0.0a236) > Source: > Published: 2026-08-23 22:19:32+00:00 [← Index](/leaderboard) # HOL Guard Local-first AI agent security evidence and approval workflows through HOL Guard's stdio MCP server. The current version, v3.0.0a236, was published to the official MCP registry on 2026-08-23. It is distributed as hol-guard on PyPI, filed under Security by this index. Removals and unreachable sources are measured across every server this index tracks, contract drift across the servers that answer in consecutive snapshots; [the index's current counts](/stats) put this record in context. ## Using HOL Guard in Claude, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Cline, or Zed? MCP tool contracts can change remotely with no version bump. The mcpindex gate pins each contract and **HOLDs the call** when it drifts-before your agent acts. Zero credentials. This is not the package install for this server itself (use **Install this server** for that). Rewrites your MCP host config so each server launches behind the gate. Inspect first: curl -fsSL https://mcpindex.ai/install.sh | less ``` uv tool install mcpindex-gate && mcpindex-config-wire ``` [method](/methodology) Semantic screen found no manipulation pattern in the description.

A pass means the description is not lying, not that the tool is safe: a high-capability tool with an honest description still warrants caution. The deterministic conformance probe has not been run on this server yet, so the screen here is semantic-only. Posture: advisory. Confidences are reported but not yet calibrated (calibrated=false at v1). Full verdict history is not shown on this page. Own this server? [Screen its description →](/screen) ## That verdict was true at screening time (snapshot 2026-08-23). Contracts can change after screening, with no version bump. The gate pins HOL Guard’s tool contracts on first sight and holds any silent change before your agent acts - the check that keeps being true on Tuesday.

One line on your project site or docs answers that with an independent record: screening verdict, registry provenance, contract drift history. It stays current as new screens and drift events land. ``` [Independent trust record for HOL Guard](https://mcpindex.ai/server/io-github-hashgraph-online-hol-guard) - screening verdict, registry provenance, and contract drift monitoring.
