## What Just Happened?

The installer did 3 things:

1. **Installed Panguard** — CLI + 768 ATR detection rules (OWASP Agentic Top 10: 10/10 covered)
2. **Connected your AI agents** — auto-detected Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, and [13 more platforms](/guides/claw-setup)
3. **Started Guard** — 24/7 monitoring with dashboard at `http://127.0.0.1:9100`

You're now protected. Every MCP skill your AI agents use is being monitored in real-time.

***

## Verify It's Working

```bash theme={null}
panguard --version
```

```
1.8.26
```

```bash theme={null}
panguard guard status
```

You should see Guard running in learning mode (day 1/7).
