# AgentGuards setup �� self-hosted
Unlike the hosted plugin, this variant has **no default backend** — it must be
told which appliance to use. Guide the user through both required variables.
## Steps
1. **Check for `AGENTGUARDS_URL`.** This is required here (the hosted plugin
defaults it; this one deliberately does not, so it can never silently talk
to the wrong instance). It should be the appliance's own address, e.g.
`https://guardrails.internal.example.com` — reachable from wherever Claude
Code runs, over HTTPS.
2. **Check for `AGENTGUARDS_API_KEY`.** Look for it in the environment. If
missing, tell the user to generate one on their appliance's own console at
`<AGENTGUARDS_URL>/admin/ui/keys`, then export it.
3. **If the appliance is still on its first-boot self-signed certificate**,
plain requests will fail with `CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED`. Two ways to fix,
both explained on the appliance's own `/admin/ui/docs#tls` page:
- `AGENTGUARDS_CA_BUNDLE=<path to the appliance's exported cert>` (pins it,
verification stays on — the better option)
- `AGENTGUARDS_TLS_NO_VERIFY=true` (evaluation on a private network only)
4. **Tell the user to add all set variables to their shell profile**
(`~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, …), not just export them in the current terminal —
a one-off `export` is gone the moment the terminal closes or a new agent
session starts.
5. **Restart Claude Code** — hooks are read at startup.
6. **Verify**: ask the us
