Destructive Command Guard
Destructive Command Guard is a security utility for AI coding agents that intercepts and blocks destructive shell and git commands before execution to prevent data loss.
Destructive Command Guard is a hook-based tool that integrates with AI coding agents to protect systems from catastrophic command execution. It operates by intercepting potentially harmful inputs, such as file deletions or database resets, before they are processed by the shell or git. The software features a modular pack system with over 50 security configurations covering databases, cloud infrastructure, and containers. It detects malicious intent in various forms, including inline scripts and heredoc content, while ensuring sub-millisecond latency through SIMD-accelerated filtering. The tool is designed for developers who use automated AI agents and need to guard against accidental workspace destruction.
