ShellGuard

About

ShellGuard acts as an MCP server, empowering LLM agents with read-only bash access to various remote servers, including production, staging, or development environments. It eliminates the need for manual copy-pasting of terminal output, allowing AI agents to independently run diagnostics, inspect logs, query databases, and troubleshoot issues. The tool rigorously restricts commands to a curated set of read-only operations, blocking destructive actions and providing actionable suggestions to help the LLM self-correct and continue its investigation safely and efficiently.

Key Features

• Provides read-only bash access for LLM agents over SSH.
• Offers actionable suggestions to LLMs for self-correction on invalid commands.
• Supports flexible SSH configurations, including native and system modes, with host key verification.
• Automates the provisioning of diagnostic tools like `rg`, `jq`, and `yq` on remote hosts.
• 2 GitHub stars
• Restricts commands to a safe, curated allowlist, blocking destructive operations.

Use Cases

• Automated diagnostics and troubleshooting on remote servers by LLM agents.
• AI-driven log inspection and database querying for monitoring and debugging.
• Secure read-only exploration of development, staging, or production environments by AI.
