AIP Agent Guardv0.1.0

A platform hosts third-party OpenClaw skills and must ensure each author is verified before publication. AIP Agent Guard checks Ed25519 signatures, enforces declared capabilities, and blocks malicious or tampered skills automatically. The audit log provides compliance evidence for every tool call.

A large enterprise integrates AIP Agent Guard into its CI/CD pipeline to verify all internal skills before deployment to production agents. Capability manifests restrict file, shell, and network access, while the audit trail supports SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits. Security teams get real-time status of signed, unsigned, and blocked skills.

A bank deploys OpenClaw agents for customer support and transaction processing, requiring strict access control. AIP Agent Guard verifies skill authors, enforces least-privilege tools, and logs every action for regulatory review. This prevents unauthorized data access or fund transfers by compromised skills.

A hospital uses OpenClaw skills to automate patient record retrieval and appointment scheduling. AIP Agent Guard ensures only signed, HIPAA-compliant skills run, with capability manifests blocking unauthorized outbound network calls. Audit logs track every access to protected health information.

A community platform for OpenClaw skills wants to protect users from malicious contributions. AIP Agent Guard verifies authors via a trust list and automatically blocks unsigned or tampered skills. Maintainers use the security status dashboard to review and approve new submissions.
