## Features

**🛡️ Instant Content Moderation:** Ask your agent to analyze a file, and it will instantly identify AI-generated, 
violent, or explicit content in your images and videos.

**📸 One Core Tool:** The agent passes to the `analyze_media` tool a local file path and receives a list of detection 
targets, each scored from 0 to 100. Because video analysis can take time, it can run as an MCP background task, so your 
chat never freezes while waiting for results.

**🔒 Built-in Security Controls:** You have full control over what the agent can access. The server only reads media 
from directories you explicitly allow, ignores URL fetching, and enforces strict rate limits to protect your API budget 
from runaway or looping agents.

**🧰 Extended Tools & Resources:** Beyond basic analysis, your agent can fetch your exact workspace thresholds to apply 
your specific moderation rules, estimate token costs before processing large files, submit feedback on results, and 
read the server configuration to understand its environment

## Prerequisites

* **Python 3.10+**
* **uv:** This project uses [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for fast package management.
* **Guard API Key:** You need an access token to use the Guard API…
