description: >-
  Open security platform for agentic infrastructure — broad scanning plus MCP
  discovery, CVEs, blast radius, SBOMs, CIS benchmarks (AWS, Azure, GCP,
  Snowflake), OWASP/NIST/MITRE compliance, AISVS v1.0, MAESTRO layer tagging,
  and vector database security checks. Use when the user mentions vulnerability
  scanning, MCP server trust, compliance, SBOM generation, CIS benchmarks,
  blast radius, or AI supply chain risk.
version: 0.75.10
license: Apache-2.0
compatibility: >-
  Requires Python 3.11+. Install via pipx or pip. No credentials required for
  basic scanning. Native container image scanning — no external scanner required.
  CIS benchmark checks optionally use cloud SDK credentials
  (AWS/Azure/GCP/Snowflake).

      VERIFY BEFORE running with any config files: (1) pip install agent-bom;
      (2) Review sanitize_env_vars() at security.py#L159 — confirms env value
      redaction; (3) Review discovery/__init__.py — confirms only structural
      config data extracted; (4) agent-bom verify agent-bom — Sigstore
      provenance check; (5) Only then run agent-bom agents
    credential_handling: >-
      Env var values are NEVER extracted from config files. sanitize_env_vars()
      replaces all env values with ***REDACTED*** BEFORE any config data is
      processed or stored. Only structural data (server names, commands, URLs)
      passes through. Source:
      https://github.com/msaad00/agent-bom/blob/main/src/agent_bom/security.py#L159
    data_flow: >-
      Scanning is local-first. What leaves the machine: (1) public package names
      and CVE IDs sent to vulnerability databases (OSV, NVD, EPSS, GitHub
      Advisories) for CVE lookup; (2) CIS benchmark checks make read-only API
      calls to cloud providers (AWS/Azure/GCP/Snowflake) using your locally
      configured credentials, only when explicitly invoked. What stays local:
      all config file contents, env var values, credentials, scan results,
      compliance tags, and SBOM data. Registry lookups (427+ MCP servers) are
      bundled in-package with zero network calls. Env var values in discovered
      config files are replaced with ***REDACTED*** by sanitize_env_vars() in
      the installed code.

# agent-bom — AI Agent Infrastructure Security Scanner

Discovers MCP clients and servers across 22 AI tools, scans for CVEs, maps
blast radius, runs cloud CIS benchmarks, checks OWASP/NIST/MITRE compliance,
generates SBOMs, and assesses AI infrastructure against AISVS v1.0 and MAESTRO
framework layers.

## Install

```bash
pipx install agent-bom
agent-bom agents            # auto-discover + scan
agent-bom check langchain==0.1.0  # check a specific package with version
agent-bom fs .              # scan filesystem packages
agent-bom image nginx:1.25  # scan container image (native)
agent-bom cloud aws         # AWS CIS benchmark
agent-bom iac infra/        # scan Terraform/CloudFormation

## Example Workflows

```
# Check a package before installing
check(package="@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", ecosystem="npm")

# Map blast radius of a CVE
blast_radius(cve_id="CVE-2024-21538")

# Full agent discovery + scan
agents()

# Run CIS benchmark
cis_benchmark(provider="aws")

# Run AISVS v1.0 compliance
aisvs_benchmark()

# Scan vector databases for auth misconfigurations
vector_db_scan()

# Discover GPU containers, K8s GPU nodes, and unauthenticated DCGM endpoints
gpu_infra_scan()

# Assess trust of a skill file
skill_trust(skill_content="<paste SKILL.md content>")
```

## Guardrails

**Always do:**
- Show CVEs even when NVD analysis is pending or severity is `unknown` — a CVE ID with no details is still a real finding. Report what is known; mark severity as `unknown` explicitly.
- Confirm with the user before scanning cloud environments (`cis_benchmark`) — these make live API calls to AWS/Azure/GCP using the user's credentials.
- Treat `UNKNOWN` severity as unresolved, not benign — it means data is not yet available, not that the issue is minor.

**Never do:**
- Do not modify any files, install packages, or change system configuration. This skill is read-only.
- Do not transmit env var values, credentials, or file contents to any external service. Only package names and CVE IDs leave the machine.
- Do not invoke `agents()` autonomously on sensitive environments without user confirmation. The `autonomous_invocation` policy is `restricted`.

**Stop and ask the user when:**
- The user requests a cloud CIS benchmark and no cloud credentials are configured.
- A scan finds `CRITICAL` CVEs — present findings and ask whether to generate a remediation plan.
- The user asks to scan a path outside their home directory.

## Privacy & Data Handling

This skill installs agent-bom from PyPI. **Verify the redaction behavior
before running with any config files:**

```bash
# Step 1: Install
pip install agent-bom

# Step 2: Review redaction logic BEFORE scanning
# sanitize_env_vars() replaces ALL env var values with ***REDACTED***
# BEFORE any config data is processed or stored:
# https://github.com/msaad00/agent-bom/blob/main/src/agent_bom/security.py#L159

# Step 3: Review config parsing — only structural data extracted:
# https://github.com/msaad00/agent-bom/blob/main/src/agent_bom/discovery/__init__.py

# Step 4: Verify package provenance (Sigstore)
agent-bom verify agent-bom

# Step 5: Only then run scans
agent-bom agents
```

**What is extracted**: Server names, commands, args, and URLs from MCP client
config files across 22 AI tools. **What is NOT extracted**: Env var values are
replaced with `***REDACTED***` by `sanitize_env_vars()` before any processing.
Only public package names and CVE IDs are sent to vulnerability databases.
Cloud CIS checks use locally configured credentials and call only the cloud
provider's own APIs.

## Verification

- **Source**: [github.com/msaad00/agent-bom](https://github.com/msaad00/agent-bom) (Apache-2.0)
- **Sigstore signed**: `agent-bom verify agent-bom@0.75.10`
- **6,533+ tests** with CodeQL + OpenSSF Scorecard
- **No telemetry**: Zero tracking, zero analytics
