abom-cli

The reference implementation of ABOM — the Agent Bill of Materials. Scan a repo, emit a signed Composition Manifest, and verify it.

pip install abom-cli        # (until published: pip install -e .)
abom scan .                 # → abom.json (signed with ed25519)
abom verify abom.json       # check signature
abom verify abom.json --policy policy.json   # + enforce a policy (exit 1 on violations)

Commands

Command What it does
abom scan [PATH] Detect agent components (models, prompts, tools, MCP servers, frameworks, vector stores, guardrails) and emit a signed Composition Manifest. -o - writes to stdout.
abom verify [FILE] Verify the ed25519 signature; with --policy, enforce model allowlist / residency / egress / approval rules. Non-zero exit on findings (CI-friendly).
abom keygen Show (or create) the local ed25519 signing key (~/.abom/signing_key.pem, override with ABOM_KEY).
abom version Print the tool and spec versions.

All commands accept -v (info) / -vv (debug) / -q (errors only) / --json-logs (NDJSON for CI) — logs go to stderr, so the ABOM on stdout stays clean.

Example

$ abom scan .
  ABOM · my-agent @ 1.2.0
  models                  3  gpt-4o-mini, claude-3-5-sonnet, OpenAI (SDK)
  frameworks              2  LangChain, LangGraph
  MCP servers             2  filesystem, github
  tools                   1  lookup_customer
  prompts                 1  prompts/system.txt
  signed: ed25519 · key 5846eabc738b3542
  → wrote abom.json

How detection works

abom scan is a static scanner (pure stdlib + cryptography):

  • Dependencies (requirements*.txt, pyproject.toml, package.json) → frameworks, model SDKs, vector stores, guardrails.
  • Source → concrete model names (gpt-4o, claude-*, …) and @tool-decorated functions.
  • Prompt files (*.prompt, prompts/*.txt|md) → hashed.
  • MCP configs (mcp.json, claude_desktop_config.json, …) → MCP servers.

Each component records detected_from so the manifest is auditable. The output validates against spec/abom-0.1.schema.json.

Signing

abom scan signs with ed25519 (cryptography). The key lives at ~/.abom/signing_key.pem (override with ABOM_KEY); the public key + a short key_id are embedded so abom verify is self-contained. A Notary / key registry pins trusted key ids in production.

Dev

make install          # pip install -e ".[dev]"
make test             # pytest (audit chain, scanner, signing)
make scan && make verify
make build            # wheel + sdist + twine check
python demo/demo.py   # generate → verify → tamper-evidence walkthrough

What else is in this package

src/abom/ also contains a prototype control-plane (api.py, db.py, orchestration.py, the Notary) behind the optional [server] extra — the beginnings of the commercial layer. It is not required for scan/verify and is not part of the v0.1 spec. See MVP_SPEC.md.
