Linkedin agent guard

linkedin agent guard

Generate agent-safety config that blocks destructive linkedin operations

Synopsis

Classify every API command (read / write / irreversible) from the live command tree and emit host safety config. linkedin is a READ-ONLY client — every command (including the GET-only "linkedin api" escape hatch) is a read, so today the guard allows all API commands and hard-blocks nothing except "linkedin alias set" (minting a shorthand). The guard derives from the LIVE tree, so if a future write/destructive command is ever added it is hard-blocked automatically, including its cobra alias paths.

For claude-code the output also includes a PreToolUse hook script (.claude/hooks/linkedin-guard.sh): it strips quote/backslash obfuscation and matches blocked subcommand paths at the command position even for path-invoked binaries (./bin/linkedin, /usr/local/bin/linkedin). "linkedin alias set" is denied so an agent cannot mint a new shorthand for a future blocked command.

MCP-only operation is the hard guarantee; the Bash rails are best-effort — the hook defeats quoting tricks and path prefixes, but not variable indirection or shell aliases. Conservative false positives are accepted: a line that merely QUOTES a blocked command is denied.

linkedin agent guard --host <claude-code|codex|opencode> [flags]

Examples

  linkedin agent guard --host claude-code
  linkedin agent guard --host claude-code --write          # write the files into .claude/
  linkedin agent guard --host codex --out ~/.codex/config.toml
  linkedin agent guard --host opencode --all-writes

Options

      --all-writes    also hard-block ordinary writes, not just irreversible ops
  -h, --help          help for guard
      --host string   target agent host: claude-code|codex|opencode (required)
      --out string    write to this file instead of stdout
      --write         claude-code only: write hook + settings fragment under .claude/ (never overwrites)
