What This Skill Does

MeshGuard is a comprehensive AI agent governance platform designed to provide visibility, control, and security over your deployed AI infrastructure. It enables teams to manage agent lifecycles, enforce security policies, audit interaction logs, and ensure regulatory compliance within a unified interface. By centralizing management, MeshGuard helps prevent unauthorized access and ensures that all agent communications adhere to organizational standards.

Installation

To integrate MeshGuard into your OpenClaw environment, run the following installation command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/dbhurley/meshguard

Once installed, initialize your configuration by executing the setup script: bash skills/meshguard/scripts/meshguard-setup.sh. This wizard guides you through setting up your environment variables, including the gateway URL, API key, and admin token. These configurations are securely stored in ~/.meshguard/config.

Use Cases

MeshGuard is ideal for organizations scaling their AI agent deployments. It is used to enforce strict rate limiting on high-traffic agents, ensuring that API usage remains within budgetary constraints. Security teams use the audit logging feature to trace agent actions and monitor potential vulnerabilities or policy violations. Developers can leverage the policy management system to implement content filtering, preventing agents from accidentally sharing PII or credentials. Additionally, the platform provides a self-service path for onboarding new organization entities via the signup CLI.

Example Prompts

1. "MeshGuard, list all my currently active agents and check their current tier and status."
2. "Create a new policy using the data in policy.yaml to enforce a strict content filter for all my production agents."
3. "Show me the last 50 audit log events specifically for 'customer-support-bot' to investigate recent performance issues."

Tips & Limitations

To ensure optimal security, keep your MESHGUARD_ADMIN_TOKEN confidential and avoid committing it to version control systems. Always validate your policy YAML files before running the create command, as improper syntax can cause policy deployment failures. Note that log retention periods are determined by your MeshGuard instance settings, so check the platform documentation if you require long-term archival of audit events. The CLI requires the bash shell and standard permissions to read the local config file, so ensure your environment is correctly configured with appropriate read/write access to ~/.meshguard.
