Coding Agents

Coding agents are the AI CLIs your developers already run — you use them but don't build them, so there's no code to embed an SDK into. Netzilo governs them with a plugin: it registers with each agent's own hook system, so every tool call and prompt the agent makes is checked against your policy — allowed, blocked, or redacted — and reported to the same dashboard as the rest of AIDR. Nothing about the agent changes.

Supported agents

  • Claude Code — Anthropic's command-line coding agent.
  • OpenAI Codex CLI — OpenAI's coding agent.
  • Google Gemini CLI — Google's coding agent.
  • OpenClaw — an open agentic coding tool.

Install the plugin

One command sets up governance for whichever of these agents is on the machine:

curl -fsSL https://pkg.netzilo.com/download/plugin/install.sh | sh

Re-running is safe — it updates what's already set up and skips what isn't installed.

Platform notes

  • Linux — the command above does everything, including installing the Netzilo client for you if it's missing.
  • macOS — install the Netzilo client first (see Installation), then run the command to register the hooks.
  • Windows — install the Netzilo client first, then register the hooks through it.

Requirements

  • A Netzilo account and a setup key or PAT.
  • For OpenClaw, the openclaw CLI must be on your PATH.

Coding agents are the pre-deployment / run-time integration for agents you don't build — see AI Agent Lifecycle for how this compares to the SDK (Custom Agents) and the client (General-Purpose Agents).
