Renamed from Agent Guard
This package was published as @integraledger/agent-guard until August 2026. That name is deprecated; here is what changed and what to do about it.
Until 26 August 2026 this package was published as @integraledger/agent-guard. It is now
@integraledger/agentic-terms. The old name is deprecated and will receive no further releases.
Why
"Agent Guard" collided with at least ten concurrent products in AI-agent security — among them AppOmni's AgentGuard, announced 19 November 2025, and Jozu's Agent Guard, announced 12 March 2026, both through wire services. Every one of them predates this package's first publish on 13 August 2026. A name that ten vendors share identifies nobody, so it was replaced rather than defended.
Migrating
npm uninstall @integraledger/agent-guard
npm install @integraledger/agentic-termsThere is one breaking change. The exported type GuardedSigner is now GatedSigner:
import type { GatedSigner } from "@integraledger/agentic-terms";No alias is provided, so a stale import fails at compile time rather than resolving to something
unexpected. Every other export is unchanged in name and in signature — transact, GatePorts,
GateProposal, BuyerPolicy, makeCachingFetcher, nodeDnsLookup, parseProposalFromChallenge,
parseProposalUniversal, readAdvertisedTerms and detectProtocol all behave exactly as before.
What did not change
@integraledger/lcp-mcp-server keeps its name. So does its MCP server identity, lcp-mcp, and all six of
its tool names — lcp_verify_before_pay, lcp_compute_atrhash, lcp_extract_reference,
lcp_place_reference, lcp_generate_legal_context and lcp_scaffold_integration. An agent host already
configured against that server needs no change. The package versions in lockstep with this one only because
the two are a fixed release group.
Nothing about the protocol moved. The Legal Context Protocol, the atrHash, and the wire formats this
package reads are untouched.
Versions
Versioning continued rather than restarting, so 0.13.0 on the new name follows 0.12.1 on the old one and
the changelog reads straight through. Versions 0.9.0 through 0.12.1 of @integraledger/agent-guard
remain installable but are deprecated; they will not receive fixes.
