Description
Guard Starter is the human gate inside SentinelAgent Guard: allow / ask / deny for MCP and agent tool calls across Cursor, Claude Code, Cline, and other MCP hosts. Deterministic policies, no model in the approval path. Deny returns a readable refusal, not a hang; decisions land in an audit log. Starter free: local allow / ask / deny, short audit, 1 seat. Starter Pro: $19/mo, cloud sync and longer audit. Guard Pro $49/mo is a soft upsell, not the PH headline price. Same Guard brand. Same site.

Could you build this?
Yes Guard Starter functions as a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) proxy or middleware that intercepts JSON-RPC messages and prompts the user (allow/ask/deny) before forwarding calls to downstream servers.
