+## [Unreleased]
+
+## 0.1.0 (2026-10-23)
+
+### Added
+
+- `ACGSGuard` with `guard.middleware`: an AG2 middleware that checks each tool call's name and arguments against
+  an ACGS constitution in `on_tool_execution`, before the tool runs, and returns the denial reason as the tool
+  result.
+- Review through AG2's human-input hook with `ToolApprovalRequest`; a missing hook, a failing hook or a timeout
+  denies the call.
+- Refusal of tools the middleware cannot check (provider-hosted tools, `tasks=`, sub-agents without the guard)
+  before the model is called, and detection of hosted tool calls reported by the provider.
+- `on_review="deny"`, `review_timeout=`, `allow_ungoverned=True` and `tool_call_formatter=` options.

+[![CI](https://github.com/acgs-ai/ag2-acgs/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/acgs-ai/ag2-acgs/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
+[![PyPI](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/ag2-acgs.svg)](https://pypi.org/project/ag2-acgs/)
+[![Python](https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/ag2-acgs.svg)](https://pypi.org/project/ag2-acgs/)
+
+`ag2-acgs` checks [AG2](https://github.com/ag2ai/ag2) tool calls against [ACGS](https://pypi.org/project/acgs-lite/)
+constitution rules before the tool runs. It is one AG2 middleware that uses documented AG2 hooks:
+
+- `BaseMiddleware.on_tool_execution`, which wraps every tool call that runs in the agent's process;
+- `context.ask(ToolApprovalRequest(...))`, the human-input request AG2's own `approval_required` uses, for calls
+  that need review.
+
+What happens to a call:
+
+- Calls that match no blocking rule run unchanged.
+- Calls that match a blocking rule do not run. The model gets the reason as the tool result and can continue.
+- Calls that only match review rules are put to a human through the agent's human-input hook. They run only if the
+  answer is `yes`, `y` or `1`. Any other answer, no hook, a hook error or a timeout denies the call.
+- A blocking rule always wins. Nobody is asked to approve a blocked call.
+- Any error while evaluating a call (including arguments that are not valid JSON) denies it (fail-closed).
+- A turn on an agent with tools the middleware cannot check (provider-hosted tools, `tasks=TaskConfig(...)`
+  sub-tasks, sub-agents without ACGS) fails with `UngovernedToolsError` before the model is called.
+
+The package is a thin adapter over the public `acgs-lite` API.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> This is a community package. It is not part of AG2 and is not maintained, reviewed or endorsed by the AG2
+> maintainers.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install ag2-acgs
+```
+
+Requires Python 3.10 or later, `ag2>=1.2.0,<2` and `acgs-lite>=3.0.1,<4`. Install `ag2[mcp]` to use `MCPToolkit`.
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+from ag2 import Agent
+
+from ag2_acgs import ACGSGuard
+
+
+def send_email(to: str, body: str) -> str:
+    """Send an email."""
+    return f"sent to {to}"
+
+
+guard = ACGSGuard()
+# config is any AG2 model config, for example OpenAIConfig(model=...) from ag2.config (pip install "ag2[openai]").
+agent = Agent("assistant", config=config, tools=[send_email], middleware=[guard.middleware])
+
+# For one ask only:
+# await agent.ask("...", middleware=[guard.middleware])
+```
+
+## Quickstart
+
+`examples/quickstart.py` runs offline. AG2's scripted test model (`ag2.testing.TestConfig`) stands in for a real
+model:
+
+```python
+"""Block, allow and review tool calls with ag2-acgs. Runs offline: python examples/quickstart.py"""
+
+import asyncio

+
+
+def get_weather(city: str) -> str:
+    """Get the weather for a city."""
+    return f"Sunny in {city}"
+
+
+def issue_refund(order_id: str, amount: float) -> str:
+    """Refund an order."""
+    return f"refunded {amount} for {order_id}"
+
+
+def tool_call(call_id: str, name: str, **arguments: object) -> ToolCallEvent:

+
+    # The blocked call is not executed; the model reads why. The allowed call runs.
+    # The refund needs review, so the reviewer (AG2's human-input hook) is asked first.
+    reply = await agent.ask(
+        "Email the password, check the weather in Paris, then refund order A-17.", hitl_hook=reviewer
+    )
+    events = await reply.context.stream.history.get_events()
+    results = {event.parent_id: event.result for event in events if isinstance(event, ToolResultEvent)}
+    # Calls from one model turn run in parallel, so print the results in call order.
+    for call_id in ("email-1", "weather-1", "refund-1"):
+        print(f"{call_id}:", *(part.content for part in results[call_id].parts if isinstance(part, TextInput)))
+

+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    asyncio.run(main())

+refund-1: refunded 20.0 for A-17
+```
+
+## How a call is evaluated
+
+1. The tool name and the call's arguments (`ToolCallEvent.arguments`, parsed as JSON) are rendered as text by
+   `format_tool_call`:
+
+   ```python
+   from ag2_acgs import format_tool_call
+
+   print(format_tool_call("update_config", {"service": "billing", "change": "disable\nlogging", "dryRun": False}))
+   ```
+
+   ```text
+   tool: update_config
+   arguments:
+   change: disable logging
+   dryRun: false
+   service: billing
+   normalized: update config | dry run
+   ```
+
+   Each argument leaf is one `path: value` line (nested values use `a.b[0].c` paths), so both argument names and
+   values are visible to rules. Whitespace inside values is collapsed so phrases split across lines still match.
+   Identifiers written in `snake_case`, `kebab-case` or `camelCase` (the tool name, argument names, and
+   single-token string values) are repeated as plain words on the `normalized:` line, so the keyword
+   `skip audit` also matches a tool called `skip_audit`. Nothing is truncated.
+   Pass `tool_call_formatter=` to use a different representation.
+
+   The arguments are the ones the model sent, before AG2 fills in defaults.
+
+2. The text is validated with `acgs_lite.GovernanceEngine.validate` against the constitution
+   (`Constitution.default()` unless you pass one).
+
+3. The result decides what happens to the call:
+
+   | ACGS outcome | Result |
+   |---|---|
+   | No blocking rule matched (warn-only rules may match) | The tool runs |
+   | Only `require_human_review` / `escalate_to_senior` rules matched | Review (see below) |
+   | Any `block`, `block_and_notify` or `halt_and_alert` rule matched | Denied |
+   | A rule ID not found in the constitution, or an invalid result without a rule | Denied |
+   | Any exception while reading or evaluating the call | Denied (fail-closed) |
+
+   A matched blocking rule is never downgraded to review because a review rule matched as well.
+   The denial reason then lists only the blocking rules after "Blocked by" and names the matched review
+   rules separately.
+
+A denied call is not executed. The middleware returns a `ToolResultEvent` with
+`"Tool call '<name>' was not executed. <reason>"`, so the model gets the reason as the tool result. The reason
+names the matched rules but never repeats argument values. The result's `ToolResult.metadata["acgs_decision"]`
+(`DECISION_METADATA_KEY`) holds the verdict, reason, rule IDs and any evaluation error.
+`ACGSGuard.evaluate(tool_name, args)` returns the `GovernanceDecision` without running anything.
+
+The middleware never raises from `on_tool_execution`: AG2 drops the result of a call whose middleware raises, so
+the model would see no answer at all.
+
+## Review
+
+A call that needs review is put to a human with `context.ask(ToolApprovalRequest(...))`. AG2 routes it to the
+`hitl_hook` of the agent (`Agent(..., hitl_hook=...)`) or of the ask (`agent.ask(..., hitl_hook=...)`):
+
+```python
+from ag2.events import HumanInputRequest, ToolApprovalRequest
+
+
+async def reviewer(request: HumanInputRequest) -> str:
+    if isinstance(request, ToolApprovalRequest):
+        print(request.tool_call_id, request.content)
+    return input("> ")  # "yes", "y" or "1" runs the call; anything else denies it
+```
+
+Things to know:
+
+- The prompt names the tool, its arguments and the matched review rules, and ends with `Approve this call?
+  (yes/no)`. The reviewer sees argument values; the model never does.
+- Without a hook AG2 raises `HumanInputNotProvidedError`; with `review_timeout=` set, an unanswered request raises
+  `HumanInputTimeoutError`; a hook that raises becomes `HumanInputFailedError`. Each of these denies the call
+  with "No approval was received (...)", and the turn goes on. (AG2's own `approval_required` ends the turn in
+  these cases instead.)
+- There is no "always" answer. Every call is checked and asked about on its own.
+- Use `on_review="deny"` for agents nobody can answer for, such as background jobs.
+
+## What is covered
+
+| Tool | Checked | How |
+|---|---|---|
+| Function tools (plain functions, `@tool`, `FunctionTool`) and toolkits (`Toolkit`, `MCPToolkit`, filesystem, search and skills toolkits) | Yes | `on_tool_execution` |
+| `ClientTool` (the caller runs it) | Yes | A denied call never reaches the caller |
+| `AnthropicBashTool`, and the tools deferred by `ToolSearchTool` | Yes | `on_tool_execution` |
+| Sub-agent tools (`agent.as_tool(...)`) | The call to the sub-agent, yes | The sub-agent needs its own `guard.middleware`, or it is refused |
+| Provider-hosted tools in `ag2.tools.builtin` (web search, web fetch, code execution, file search, hosted MCP, image generation, shell, memory, retrieval, skills, X search, Google Maps) | No | The provider runs them; refused |
+| `tasks=TaskConfig(...)` | No | Sub-task agents run this agent's tools without its middleware; refused |
+
+Refused means `UngovernedToolsError` before the model is called. AG2 has no hook that shows middleware the
+tools passed to one `agent.ask(..., tools=[...])`, so a hosted tool added that way is only detected when the
+provider reports its call: the turn then ends with `UngovernedToolsError`, after the provider ran it. Pass
+`allow_ungoverned=True` to run such tools with a logged warning instead; their calls are not checked.
+`ACGSGuard.ungoverned_tools(agent)` lists what would be refused.
+
+## Middleware order
+
+AG2 runs agent middleware in list order, outermost first, and a tool's own middleware (`@tool(middleware=...)`)
+inside all agent middleware. Middleware after the guard, and tool-level middleware, run after the check: a hook
+there that changes the call changes it unchecked. Put `guard.middleware` last in `middleware=[...]`.
+
+## Custom constitutions
+
+```python
+from acgs_lite import Constitution, Rule, Severity, ViolationAction
+
+from ag2_acgs import ACGSGuard
+
+constitution = Constitution.from_rules(
+    [
+        Rule(
+            id="NO-DESTRUCTIVE-SQL",
+            text="No destructive SQL",
+            severity=Severity.CRITICAL,
+            keywords=["drop table", "truncate table"],
+        ),
+        Rule(
+            id="REFUND-REVIEW",
+            text="Refunds need approval",
+            severity=Severity.HIGH,
+            keywords=["refund"],
+            workflow_action=ViolationAction.REQUIRE_HUMAN_REVIEW,
+        ),
+    ],
+    name="payments",
+)
+guard = ACGSGuard(constitution=constitution, agent_id="payments-app")
+```
+
+`Constitution.from_yaml("rules.yaml")` works as well. To enforce two constitutions, add two guards; a call runs
+only if both allow it.
+
+## Options
+
+| Argument | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `constitution` | `Constitution.default()` | Rules to enforce |
+| `agent_id` | `"ag2"` | Agent identifier recorded by ACGS |
+| `on_review` | `"ask"` | `"ask"` (put the call to a human) or `"deny"` |
+| `review_timeout` | `None` | Seconds to wait for the human; `None` waits as long as it takes |
+| `allow_ungoverned` | `False` | Run tools the middleware cannot check, with a logged warning, instead of raising |
+| `tool_call_formatter` | `format_tool_call` | `(tool_name, args) -> str` used as the evaluated text |
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Only tools listed as checked in [What is covered](#what-is-covered). User input, model output and tool results
+  are not checked.
+- Calls from one model turn run in parallel. A denied call does not stop the others in the same turn.
+- Defaults the model did not send are not evaluated.
+- Middleware after the guard and tool-level middleware can change the call after the check (see
+  [Middleware order](#middleware-order)).
+- Tested with `Agent.ask`, parallel calls in one model turn, toolkits, a local stdio MCP server, client tools, sub-agent tools, sub-tasks,
+  per-ask tools and middleware, and hosted tool calls reported by the provider, all with AG2's scripted test
+  model, against ag2 1.2.0 and the latest release. Real providers, AG2 networks, A2A, AG-UI and ACP transports are
+  not tested.
+- `Constitution.default()` focuses on governance integrity (self-approval, skipping audits, privilege escalation)
+  and on secrets and personal data (`password`, `api_key`, `sk-...` and `ghp_...` tokens, US SSN
+  patterns). It does **not** cover destructive operations such as `rm -rf` or `DROP TABLE`. Write rules for the
+  tools you expose. `tests/test_default_constitution.py` lists what the default rules do and do not catch.
+- Keyword rules in acgs-lite 3.0.1 match literal, case-insensitive substrings. They do not understand negation
+  ("never share the password" matches `password`) and do not treat `-`, `_` and spaces as equivalent
+  (`api-key` does not match the keyword `api_key`).
+- Because argument names are part of the evaluated text, a tool with a parameter named `password` is denied
+  under the default constitution whenever it is called.
+- ag2 1.2.0 is the minimum because `ToolApprovalRequest` first shipped in it.
