HOL Guard
HOL Guard is a free, open-source (Apache-2.0), local-first security layer for AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and GitHub Copilot CLI. On supported integrations it checks risky shell commands, reads of secret-bearing files, package installs and new or changed MCP tools before they run, lets you allow, ask or block each action, and keeps a local record for review. It installs with pipx (hol-guard) and works offline; optional Guard Cloud adds synced approvals, team policy and dashboards.

Agent Tincan
Agent Tincan lets your AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Hermes, ChatGPT and others) ask each other to do things and hand back results through a small relay on your own Tailscale network, with no open ports or API keys between agents.
Added
Graphicle
Graphicle, from KarLex AI, is a single local Rust program that gives Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and other MCP agents a code graph and memory, returning excerpts with file and line references from your code, docs and past sessions, with no account or telemetry.
