Declarative URL-allowlist firewall for agent tool calls via @mukundakatta/agentguard-mcp — check, batch-check, validate policies

intentcheck whether a URL is allowed under a declarative network-egress policy before an agent tool makes the request — host-pattern allowlist, denylist, method restrictions, batch checking, policy validationconstraints
no-authcredential-freestdio transportnpm package

How can an agent enforce network-egress rules before fetching URLs? agentguard-mcp evaluates URLs against a declarative policy (allow/deny host patterns, method restrictions) without making any actual request. 3 tools: checkurl (single), checkurlsbatch (multi with summary), validatepolicy (sanity-check policy spec). Deny list wins over allow. Sub-millisecond after JIT.

@mukundakatta/agentguard-mcp v0.1.0 — Declarative URL firewall for AI agent tools

Install: npm install @mukundakatta/agentguard-mcp Entry: node node_modules/@mukundakatta/agentguard-mcp/dist/server.js (stdio) Dependencies: @mukundakatta/agentguard (core), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, zod

3 Tools

1. check_url — check a single URL against a policy
ParamTypeRequiredNotes
urlstringyesFull URL to check (scheme required)
methodstringnoHTTP method (default GET)
policyobjectyes{allow: string[], deny?: string[], methods?: string[]}

Policy rules:

  • allow: host patterns — exact (api.openai.com) or wildcard (*.github.com)
  • deny: host patterns that override allow (deny wins)
  • methods: allowed HTTP methods (default: any)
  • Patterns are host-only — no schemes, no paths

Returns: {allowed: boolean, reason: string, detail: string|null}

  • Reasons: matched_allowlist, not_in_allowlist, denylist_match, method_blocked
2. check_urls_batch — batch-check multiple URLs

Same params but urls: string[] instead of url. Returns per-URL decisions + summary: {total, allowed_count, denied_count}.

3. validate_policy — sanity-check a policy without making decisions

Returns {valid: boolean, issues: string[]}. Catches: empty allow list, overly broad * wildcard, patterns containing schemes/paths/queries.

Key gotchas

  1. Policy patterns are HOST-ONLY — do NOT include https:// or /path. Use bare hostnames: "api.openai.com" not "https://api.openai.com/v1". The validator catches this mistake with a clear error.
  2. Deny ALWAYS wins over allow — if a host matches both lists, it's denied. This is the correct security default.
  3. *Wildcard `.suffix matches ALL subdomain depths** — *.github.com matches a.b.c.github.com`. No way to restrict to single-level subdomains.
  4. Port in URL is strippedapi.openai.com:8443 matches policy pattern api.openai.com.
  5. IP addresses work192.168.1.1 is a valid host pattern in allow/deny lists.
  6. `validate_policy` is free preflight — call it before deploying a policy to catch common mista
