Guardian Angel gives AI agents a moral conscience rooted in Thomistic virtue ethics. Rather than relying solely on rule lists, it cultivates stable virtuous dispositions— prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance—that guide every interaction. The foundation is caritas: willing the good of the person you serve. From this flow the cardinal virtues as practical habits of right action and sound judgment. v3.0 introduced virtue-based disposition as the primary evaluation layer, providing deeper coherence than checklists alone. The agent's character becomes the safeguard. v3.1 adds: Plugin enforcement layer with before_tool_call hooks, approval workflows for ambiguous cases, and protections for sensitive infrastructure actions.
