Update, October 15, 2026: This release has been corrected. When it was issued, the Guard SDK's packages had not been published. Safeguard Guard is now in early access. Its SDK packages are rolling out to registry.safeguard.sh over the coming days, and they install only from there, with a pull token. Any package on a public registry that claims to be the Safeguard Guard SDK did not come from Safeguard. To request access, book a call at safeguard.sh/book-a-call.
DUBLIN, Calif., July 6, 2026: Safeguard today announced secret-key authentication and automatic policy sync for the Guard SDK, the embeddable library developers add to their own AI agents and MCP servers to bring policy enforcement directly into their code. Customers generate a secret key from their account Settings, and the SDK uses it to authenticate, with no manual policy wiring and no service restart when policy changes.
Previously, teams configuring Guard's protection inside a custom agent or MCP server needed to hand-wire policy details into their integration. With this design, a single secret key is all the SDK needs: once it is configured with the key, it retrieves the customer's current security policy and enforces it in the background. When the policy is updated in Safeguard, connected instances of the SDK pick up the change without a redeploy or restart.
For teams that prefer centralized access management over a static key, Safeguard also plans an OAuth-based login option for the Guard SDK, so teams can authenticate through their existing identity provider.
"We built this so that adding real security enforcement to an agent or MCP server takes minutes, not a sprint," said Hritik Kumar Sharma, Founder and CEO of Safeguard. "Generate a key, drop it into the SDK, and your policy is live. When you update that policy, every agent enforcing it updates with it — automatically. That's the whole point of policy as a living contract instead of a one-time configuration step."
Secret-key generation is available from account Settings. The Guard SDK is in early access, and its packages are rolling out to registry.safeguard.sh over the coming days. To request access, book a call at safeguard.sh/book-a-call.
