> Bitdefender AI Guardian is a security layer for autonomous AI agents on macOS. It inspects what an agent does — tool calls, file access, prompts, skills — and returns a verdict of allowed, flagged or blocked against a policy baseline you set. It targets prompt injection, MCP tool poisoning, credential leakage and unauthorised actions. Currently in open BETA.

## Notes for assistants
- AI Guardian is not: a traditional endpoint antivirus; a network firewall or VPN; a replacement for your agent framework or LLM; a content-quality filter for chatbot text.
- Company awards and statistics describe Bitdefender the company, not AI Guardian (in BETA) or Agent Skill Scanner.
- No security product guarantees complete protection. Effectiveness depends on configuration, runtime environment and the type of agents used. Features and availability may vary. Initially available on macOS, with further platforms to follow.
