AgentGuard 🛡️

⚠️ HACKATHON PROJECT — Built for the Colosseum Agent Hackathon ($100K prizes, Feb 2-12 2026). Built in public by @AxiomBot.

Security middleware for Solana agents. Four layers of defense between your AI agent and the blockchain.

Stop your agent from draining its wallet, signing malicious transactions, or leaking private keys — even if the LLM is compromised.

Why AgentGuard?

$47K lost in the Freysa hack. AgentGuard's firewall would have blocked it.

🔍 20+ prompt injection patterns detected — instruction overrides, role hijacking, Base64-encoded payloads, unicode exploits
🧱 4 independent security layers, zero runtime dependencies — each layer works alone; together they're airtight
⚡ 248 tests, 89% coverage, <10s runtime — battle-tested, zero-config, drop-in protection for any Solana agent

The Problem

Solana Agent Kit gives AI agents 60+ powerful on-chain actions. But power without safety is dangerous:

| Without AgentGuard | With AgentGuard | |--------------------|-----------------| | Malicious token metadata injects prompts into your LLM | Sanitizer detects and neutralizes 20 injection patterns | | Agent can drain entire wallet in one transaction | Firewall enforces per-tx AND daily spending limits | | LLM can output private keys in responses | Isolator redacts keys, seed phrases, and API tokens | | No visibility into what the agent did or why | Audit trail logs every decision (local + on-chain) | | Agent can call any program including malicious drainers | Allowlist restricts to known-safe programs only | | Simulated urgency bypasses safety reasoning | Pattern detection + firewall provide LLM-independent defense |

Real-world proof: Freysa AI lost $47K to prompt injection. AgentGuard's firewall would have blocked the transfer regardless of what the LLM decided.

Quick Start

import { createGuardedAgent } from '@0xaxiom/agentguard';

// Wrap Solana Agent Kit with security — one function call
const agent = await createGuardedAgent(keypair, rpcUrl, {
  maxDailySpend: 5_000_000_000,  // 5 SOL max/day
  maxPerTxSpend: 1_000_000_000,  // 1 SOL max/tx
  strictMode: true,
  onBlocked: (action, reason) => console.log(`🛡️ Blocked: ${reason}`)
});

// All actions now pass through 4 security layers
const result = await agent.transfer(recipient, lamports);
if (result.blocked) {
  console.log('Transfer blocked:', result.reason);
}

Or use the standalone guard (no Agent Kit required):

import { AgentGuard } from '@0xaxiom/agentguard';

const guard = AgentGuard.strict('https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com');

// Sanitize on-chain data before feeding to LLM
const input = await guard.sanitizeInput(tokenMetadata);
if (input.threats > 0) console.log('Injection attempt neutralized!');

// Check transaction before signing
const result = await guard.checkTransaction(tx);
if (!result.allowed) console.log('Blocked:', result.reason);

// Redact secrets from LLM output
const safe = await guard.redactOutput(llmResponse);

Four Independent Defense Layers

| Layer | Module | What It Does | |-------|--------|-------------| | 1. Input | Prompt Sanitizer | Detects and neutralizes 19 prompt injection patterns across 3 severity levels. Catches encoding attacks (Base64, hex, URL). Strict mode strips all formatting. | | 2. Transaction | Firewall | Dual spending limits (per-tx + daily rolling). Program allowlist/blocklist. Transaction simulation via RPC before signing. | | 3. Output | Secret Isolator | Redacts private keys (Base58 + byte arrays), BIP39 seed phrases, environment variables, API tokens. Allows public keys through. | | 4. Accountability | Audit Logger | Every security decision logged. Three backends: memory (fast), file (persistent), on-chain via Anchor (immutable). SHA-256 event hashing. |

Every attack vector is covered by at least two layers — the primary defense plus audit logging. See SECURITY.md for the full threat model and attack catalog.

See ARCHITECTURE.md for implementation details.

On-Chain Audit Trail

Immutable security events on Solana via an Anchor program. Anyone can read the trail; only the agent's authority can write.

import { OnchainAuditLogger, SecurityEventType } from '@0xaxiom/agentguard';

const logger = new OnchainAuditLogger(connection, wallet);
await logger.initialize();

// Log blocked attack on-chain
await logger.logSecurityEvent({
  type: SecurityEventType.PromptInjection,
  allowed: false,
  details: JSON.stringify({ input: 'drain wallet', threats: 3 }),
});

// Verify event integrity
const events = await logger.getEvents();
const verified = OnchainAuditLogger.verifyEventDetails(events[0], originalDetails);

Security Presets

const guard = AgentGuard.strict();      // 1 SOL/day, whitelist mode, strict sanitizer
const guard = AgentGuard.standard();    // 10 SOL/day, blocklist mode, standard sanitizer
const guard = AgentGuard.permissive();  // High limits, basic sanitizer (testing only)

Full configuration:

const guard = new AgentGuard({
  maxDailySpend: 5_000_000_000,     // 5 SOL rolling 24h
  maxPerTxSpend: 1_000_000_000,     // 1 SOL per transaction
  allowedPrograms: ['JUP6Lk...'],   // Whitelist mode
  blockedPrograms: ['Bad1...'],     // Additional blocklist
  strictMode: true,                  // Aggressive sanitization
  rpcUrl: 'https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com',
});

Performance

AgentGuard adds negligible overhead to agent operations:

| Layer | Throughput | Latency | |-------|-----------|---------| | Prompt Sanitizer (20 patterns) | 2,500 ops/sec | ~0.4ms/op | | Secret Isolator (key + seed redaction) | 1,000,000 ops/sec | ~0.001ms/op | | Transaction Firewall (status check) | 1,000,000 ops/sec | ~0.001ms/op | | Spending Tracker | 1,000,000 ops/sec | ~0.001ms/op | | Audit Logger | 1,250 ops/sec | ~0.8ms/op | | Full pipeline (all layers) | 555 ops/sec | ~1.8ms/op |

Benchmarked on M4 Max. Run npm test -- tests/benchmark.test.ts to reproduce.

Your agent spends 200-500ms on RPC calls per transaction. AgentGuard's 1.8ms adds <1% overhead while preventing catastrophic losses.

Tests

npm test             # Run all 248 tests
npm test -- --watch  # Watch mode

All tests run in <10 seconds with no network dependencies (RPC calls are mocked).

Integration with LangChain / Vercel AI SDK

AgentGuard works as middleware in any agent framework. Here's how to integrate with LangChain (used by Solana Agent Kit):

import { AgentGuard } from '@0xaxiom/agentguard';
import { SolanaAgentKit } from 'solana-agent-kit';

const guard = AgentGuard.strict();
const kit = new SolanaAgentKit(keypair, rpcUrl, openAIKey);

// Middleware: sanitize all tool inputs
async function safeToolCall(toolName: string, input: string) {
  // 1. Sanitize input (catches injection in on-chain data)
  const sanitized = guard.sanitizer.sanitize(input);
  if (sanitized.rejected) {
    return { error: `Blocked: ${sanitized.threats.length} injection patterns detected` };
  }

  // 2. Execute tool with firewall checks
  const result = await kit[toolName](sanitized.clean);

  // 3. Redact secrets from response
  const safe = guard.isolator.redact(String(result));
  return { result: safe.clean };
}

// Or use the drop-in wrapper (wraps all 60+ Agent Kit tools):
import { createGuardedAgent } from '@0xaxiom/agentguard';
const agent = await createGuardedAgent(keypair, rpcUrl, {
  maxDailySpend: 5_000_000_000,
  maxPerTxSpend: 1_000_000_000,
  strictMode: true,
});

Vercel AI SDK

import { AgentGuard } from '@0xaxiom/agentguard';

const guard = AgentGuard.strict();

// Use in tool definitions
const tools = {
  transfer: tool({
    description: 'Transfer SOL',
    parameters: z.object({ to: z.string(), amount: z.number() }),
    execute: async ({ to, amount }) => {
      const lamports = amount * LAMPORTS_PER_SOL;
      const status = guard.firewall.getStatus();
      if (lamports > status.spending.perTxLimit) {
        return `Blocked: ${amount} SOL exceeds limit`;
      }
      guard.firewall.recordSpend(lamports);
      // ... execute transfer
    },
  }),
};
