About AgentWard

AgentWard · 玄甲OS AgentWard (玄甲) is a full-stack security operating system purpose-built for trustworthy, scalable AI agent deployment, with native code adaptation to OpenClaw. AgentWard unifies agent onboarding, secure reasoning, and trusted execution in one cohesive security architecture, with upcoming native support for other leading mainstream agent frameworks. Its heterogeneous defense-in-depth design rearchitects the agent workflow into five coordinated security layers across startup, perception, memory, decision-making, and execution, with dynamic cross-stage protections that verify foundation integrity, block adversarial deception, stop memory tampering, and validate every autonomous decision and high-risk command — a complete, end-to-end closed security loop that delivers on the promise of "trustworthy at inception, controllable throughout the process, and reliable in outcomes".

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
