agent-bom

Open security scanner for agentic infrastructure — agents, MCP, packages, blast radius, runtime, and trust across MCP discovery, CVEs, 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.

```
# 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

skill_scan(path=".")
skill_trust(skill_path="./SKILL.md")
```

## 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@0.88.5`
- **7,100+ tests** with CodeQL + OpenSSF Scorecard
- **No telemetry**: Zero tracking, zero analytics
