name: agent-bom
description: >-
  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.
version: 0.87.1
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

      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:

    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.

## 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()

# Scan instruction files and then inspect trust
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.

## Supported Frameworks (15)

- **OWASP LLM Top 10** (2025) — prompt injection, supply chain, data leakage
- **OWASP MCP Top 10** — MCP-specific security risks
- **OWASP Agentic Top 10** — tool poisoning, rug pulls, credential theft
- **MITRE ATLAS** — adversarial ML threat framework
- **MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise** — adversary techniques tagged via CWE → CAPEC → ATT&CK on every blast-radius finding
- **NIST AI RMF** — govern, map, measure, manage lifecycle
- **NIST CSF 2.0** — identify, protect, detect, respond, recover
- **NIST 800-53 Rev 5** — federal security controls (CM-8, RA-5, SI-2, SR-3)
- **FedRAMP Moderate** — derived from NIST 800-53 controls
- **EU AI Act** — risk classification, transparency, SBOM requirements
- **ISO 27001:2022** — information security controls (Annex A)
- **SOC 2** — Trust Services Criteria
- **CIS Controls v8** — implementation groups IG1/IG2/IG3
- **CMMC 2.0** — cybersecurity maturity model (Level 1-3)
- **PCI DSS v4.0** — payment-card data security requirements

OWASP AISVS v1.0 ships as a **benchmark surface** alongside the tag-mapped frameworks (9 verification checks).

## 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@0.87.1`
- **7,100+ tests** with CodeQL + OpenSSF Scorecard
- **No telemetry**: Zero tracking, zero analytics
